🌿 Magic Mushroom Capsules: Complete Guide

✅ What Are Magic Mushroom Capsules? – Magic Mushroom Capsules

Magic mushroom capsules are gel capsules filled with powdered psilocybin mushrooms, typically Psilocybe cubensis. Psilocybin is the active compound responsible for the psychedelic effects.

Capsules can be:

• Raw mushroom powder: Simply dried and ground mushrooms.
• Standardized extracts: Measured psilocybin content for consistent dosing.
• Stacked formulas: Combined with other ingredients like lion’s mane or niacin (as in Paul Stamets’ microdosing stack).

💊 Why Use Capsules? – Magic Mushroom Capsules

• Convenience: Easier to dose and carry.
• Taste masking: Avoids the strong, earthy mushroom flavor.
• Precision: Better control over dosage, especially for microdosing.
• Longer shelf life: Capsules keep the powder protected from air and moisture.

📏 Dosing Guide

Note: One capsule typically contains 0.2–0.5 grams of mushroom powder. Always check potency.

📆 Microdosing Schedules 

Most follow one of these protocols:

1. Fadiman Protocol: 1 day on, 2 days off
2. Stamets Stack: 4 days on, 3 days off (includes lion’s mane and niacin)
3. Every Other Day: Used for mood stabilization
