In the humidified “fruiting chamber” of a private home in Fairfield County, Connecticut, psilocybin mushrooms are being grown. Recent studies have shown that these magic mushrooms have the potential to treat a variety of mental health conditions such as anxiety, anorexia, depression, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and substance abuse. Scientists believe that psilocybin may promote neuroplasticity, which is a rewiring of the brain that can provide new perspectives on longstanding psychiatric problems. Despite being classified as a Schedule 1 substance in the U.S. and illegal at the federal level, many municipalities and states like Colorado have decriminalized psilocybin use locally. Oregon has even legalized the adult use of mushrooms, with regulations requiring them to be administered within “psilocybin service centers.”
However, not all mushroom products are safe. Recently, Prophet Premium Blends recalled their Diamond Shruumz-infused cones, chocolate bars, and gummies due to the presence of muscimol, a chemical found in mushrooms that can cause seizures, loss of consciousness, nausea, vomiting, abnormal heart rates
