Raw Dried

The classic, unprocessed magic mushroom experience

Eating raw dried mushrooms is the most traditional and straightforward way to consume psilocybin. The mushrooms are simply dried and eaten whole, providing the complete natural experience without any processing or additives.

Onset: 30-60 min
Duration: 4-6 hours

How It Works

When you eat dried mushrooms, your stomach breaks down the chitin cell walls to release psilocybin, which is then converted to psilocin in your body. This natural digestion process creates a gradual onset and the full spectrum of effects.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • No preparation required — just eat them
  • Full-spectrum experience with all natural compounds
  • Easy to dose by weight
  • No additional ingredients or processing
  • Most cost-effective method

Cons

  • Strong earthy, bitter taste that many find unpleasant
  • Can cause nausea during onset
  • Not discreet — obvious what you're consuming
  • Texture can be off-putting
