How Long Do Shrooms Last?

How Long Do Shrooms Last?

Shrooms (also known as magic mushrooms or simply mushrooms) are mushrooms that contain psilocybin or psilocin, chemicals that cause psychedelic hallucinations or psychedelic experiences (caused by the consumption of psychedelic substances like LSD,  psychedelic mushrooms, and mescaline). Shrooms can be eaten fresh or cooked into other foods like any other mushroom. Dried shrooms can also be brewed into tea. Most people will feel the side effects of shrooms after about 30 minutes. These effects last for three to six hours and include hallucinations as well as altered thinking, sense of time, and emotions.

Shelf Life and Storage of Shrooms

Shrooms are a type of fungus, making them particularly vulnerable to mold and decay if they aren’t stored correctly. If shrooms aren’t properly dried or they are exposed to too much moisture, they will start to decay quickly and become unsafe to consume after about a week. As with most mushrooms, fresh shrooms that have gone bad will have a slimy texture, look shriveled, or have dark spots that weren’t there before.
