Do Shrooms Show Up on a Drug Test?
Psychedelic mushrooms, commonly known as “shrooms,” contain the psychoactive compound psilocybin, which can alter perception and cognition. But if you’re facing a drug test—whether for employment, legal reasons, or personal curiosity—you may wonder: do shrooms show up on standard drug screenings?
Understanding Drug Tests and Psilocybin
Most standard drug tests, such as urine, blood, or saliva tests, are designed to detect substances like:
-
THC (from cannabis)
-
Cocaine
-
Opioids
-
Amphetamines
-
Benzodiazepines
Psilocybin and its metabolite, psilocin, are not typically included in these panels. However, specialized tests, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), can detect psilocybin if specifically requested. These tests are rare and usually only used in legal or workplace investigations where psychedelic use is suspected.
How Long Do Shrooms Stay in Your System?
-
Urine test: Up to 24 hours (rarely tested)
-
Blood test: 6–12 hours
-
Hair test: Up to 90 days (but uncommon)
Since most employers and probation officers don’t screen for psilocybin, the chances of failing a drug test due to shrooms are low—unless it’s a specialized test.
