Interested in psilocybin mushrooms but want to start slowly? We’ve go you. There are some gourmet mushrooms without magical side effects that can boost your health without having to jump into psilocybin. Most of these mushrooms can prepare you for your first psilocybin journey. To start, you can find most of these products at your local Sprouts, Target, and even Amazon making them super accessible.

  1. Lion’s Mane is one of my favorite mushrooms because it benefits your brain, body and heart. It improves cognitive functioning while boosting your energy and productivity, so it is best taken in the mornings. It reduces inflammation, improves your immune system, and strengthens your heart. Lion’s Mane has also been used to reduce or minimize dementia as well. The brand Om has capsulated or powdered Lion’s Mane that can be found at Target.

  2. Cordyceps are incredible for boosting your immune system while boosting your energy. This amazing fungi may help with fighting cancer cells, shrinking tumors, and maintaining Type 2 diabetes by decreasing blood sugar levels. If you work out often, you can expect a rise in endurance and stamina. You can find supplemental cordyceps at The Vitamin Shoppe, Target and Sprouts.

  3. Reishi is the last mushroom for review today but should not be forgotten. This mushroom is highly recognized for reducing stress, improving sleep and bringing down fatigue. Reishi mushrooms have over 400 nutrients which support the heart, liver, brain and body in the process. Reishi can be found at the Vitamin Shoppe or ordered online through Walmart.

All of these mushrooms combined can definitely improve your health. As you prepare yourself to start using psilocybin, these mushrooms can help bring some reassurance and peace.

If microdosing, it is common for individuals to start their microdosing journey with these mushrooms and then add psilocybin to the mix. While these gourmet mushrooms have a lot of benefits, they are not a complete replacement of psilocybin. 

You can start by taking these supplements every morning and then phasing into your microdose journey by adding it once or twice a week. In doing this, the gourmet mushrooms will boost your experience with psilocybin and your body has already adjusted to the rise in productivity, stress-relief and change in cognitive functioning. Remember that integration is very important when introducing a new system into your routine and body.

Meditation, breathwork, yoga, journaling and similar habits can help ground yourself and reflect on how these have improved your lifestyle. Reflection is a great tool because it helps us focus on what we are already doing, what to be grateful for, and what needs improvement. When introducing supplements in preparation for psychedelic use; exercise, proper diet, and a healthy routine are going to be your best friend in order to make mushroom supplementing truly beneficial.
