Frequently Asked Questions
Functional mushrooms like Lion's Mane, Reishi, and Cordyceps are legal nootropics that provide cognitive and health benefits without psychoactive effects. Psilocybin mushrooms contain psychoactive compounds that alter consciousness and perception.
Some people notice subtle effects within 30-60 minutes, but functional mushrooms work best with consistent daily use over weeks or months. The benefits are cumulative rather than immediate.
Body weight, metabolism, stomach contents, tolerance, mindset, environment, and the specific mushroom type and dosage all influence your experience.
Functional mushrooms are generally safe but may cause digestive upset in some people. Psilocybin can cause nausea, anxiety, or challenging psychological experiences, especially at higher doses.
Functional mushroom effects are subtle and last 4-8 hours. Psilocybin effects last 4-6 hours total, with peak effects occurring 1-3 hours after onset.
