There are more than 180 species of hallucinogenic magic mushrooms in the world with new species being discovered all the time. One of the biggest telling points of whether a mushroom contains psilcoybin or not is if it bruises a bluish color caused by psilocin activity within it.
If it bruises blue to almost black in color and has a spore print that is between a purple-brown to rusty-brown color then you can be almost certain that you have found a psilocybin mushroom.
What are magic mushrooms?
Magic mushrooms are a group of mushrooms that contain the psychedelic prodrug compound Psilocybin. Mankind has used them for millennia, and recently they have become popular as a recreational and medicinal substance. Magic mushrooms have been known to induce feelings of euphoria, powerful hallucinations, self-discovery, understanding, and ego-dissolution. Recent studies suggest that they have neuroregenerative properties, and may be a potential cure for depression and various addictions.

Psilocybin mushrooms have long been intertwined with human civilization, from prehistoric cave paintings to pre-Columbian sculptures and glyphs. They were consumed in ceremonies and spiritual rituals, Aztecs referred to them as the “flesh of the gods.” Notable mycologists including Paul Stamets infer that magic mushrooms are the reason we are here today. In what’s known as the Stoned Ape Theory, they suggest that psilocybin was the catalyst in the primitive brain expanding its information processing ability, and evolving.
For the first time, psilocybin was isolated as the active ingredient in magic psychoactive mushrooms in 1958. After this discovery, psilocybin was briefly sold by pharmaceutical companies as a treatment for addiction, anxiety, and depression, until the “war on drugs” began in the 1970s.
Magic mushrooms have recently been staging a comeback. Public opinion has again shifted and researches are returning to psychedelics as potential solutions to many mental health issues. As psychedelics are currently going through FDA trials, leading scientists are projecting that psilocybin will be available for prescription within the next five years.
How to Get Help for Magic Mushroom Misuse
If you suspect a loved one is experimenting with or regularly using shrooms in problematic ways, consider having a firm yet loving conversation with them about the risks of psychedelics—especially when combined with alcohol or other drugs. At this time, it’s also important to emphasize that you are there to help and support them.
If you have been misusing shrooms, treatments are available that can help. Talk to your doctor or mental health professional about the best strategies for you.
Psychotherapy is often recommended and may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational enhancement therapy (MET). CBT focuses on helping people change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to substance use, while MET works to improve people’s motivation to change. Support groups and lifestyle changes can also be essential in long-term recovery.
