WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF MAGIC MUSHROOMS
What are magic mushrooms?
Psilocybin or magic mushrooms are naturally occurring and are consumed for 
their hallucinogenic effects.

They are psychedelic drugs, which means they can affect all the senses, 
altering a person’s thinking, sense of time and emotions. Psychedelics can 
cause a person to hallucinate, seeing or hearing things that do not exist 
or are distorted.1

The key ingredient in magic mushrooms is psilocybin. When psilocybin is 
taken, it’s converted in the body to psilocin, which is the chemical with 
the psychoactive properties.2

What do magic mushrooms look like?
Magic mushrooms look much like ordinary mushrooms.

There are many different types of magic mushrooms. The most common ones in 
Australia are called golden tops, blue meanies and liberty caps.3 Magic 
mushrooms look similar to poisonous mushrooms that can cause a person to 
become very sick and can result in death.

They can also come as dried material in capsules. Synthetic psilocybin 
appears as a white crystalline powder that can be processed into tablets or 
capsules or dissolved in water.4

Magic mushrooms are eaten fresh, cooked or brewed into a tea. The dried 
version is sometimes smoked, mixed with cannabis or tobacco.

Effects of magic mushrooms
There is no safe level of drug use. Use of any drug always carries some 
risk. It’s important to be careful when taking any type of drug.

Magic mushrooms can affect everyone differently, based on:

size, weight and health
whether the person is used to taking it
whether other drugs are taken around the same time
the amount taken
the strength of the mushroom (varies depending on the type of mushroom)
the environment (where the drug is taken)
The effects of magic mushrooms usually begin in 30 minutes when eaten, or 
within 5–10 minutes when taken as a soup or tea and can last approximately 
four to six hours.3

During this time, the person may experience:

euphoria and wellbeing
change in consciousness, mood, thought and perception (commonly called a 
trip)
dilation of pupils
perceptual changes, such as visual and auditory hallucinations (seeing or 
hearing things that aren’t there, or are distorted)
stomach discomfort and nausea
headaches
fast or irregular heartbeat
increased body temperature
breathing quickly
vomiting
facial flushes, sweating and chills.1,3
Overdose
The use of magic mushrooms rarely results in any life-threatening symptoms. 
If a large amount or a strong batch of mushrooms is consumed, the person 
may experience:

agitation
vomiting
diarrhoea
muscle weakness
panic or paranoia
psychosis
seizures
coma. 4,5
Bad trips
Sometimes a person may experience the negative effects of magic mushrooms 
and have a ‘bad trip’.

A bad trip might include:

unpleasant or intense hallucinations
anxiety
paranoia
panic or fear.5,4
Coming down
After taking magic mushrooms, delayed headaches can happen. These usually 
don’t last longer than a day.5

A person who has taken mushrooms may experience feelings of:

exhaustion
depression
anxiety. 3
Some people who regularly use magic mushrooms may experience flashbacks 
involving a previous magic mushroom experience. They are usually visual 
distortions that involve changes in your emotions or perception.

Flashbacks can happen weeks, months or even years after the drug was last 
taken. This can be disturbing, especially if a frightening experience or 
hallucination is recalled. Flashbacks can be brought on by using other 
drugs, stress, tiredness or exercise and usually last a minute or two.3,4

Impact of mood and environment
Drugs that affect a person’s mental state (psychoactive drugs) can also 
have different effects depending on a person’s mood (often called the 
‘set’) or the environment they are in (the ‘setting’).

Set is a person’s state of mind, previous encounters with psychedelic 
drugs, and expectations of what’s going to happen. For example, feelings of 
stress or anxiety before using magic mushrooms may result in a bad trip.6

Setting is the environment in which someone takes a psychedelic drug – 
whether it’s known and familiar, who they’re with, if they’re indoors or 
outdoors, the type of music and light. For example, using magic mushrooms 
in a calm, quiet and relaxed environment can lead to, or contribute to, a 
pleasant experience but being in a noisy, crowded place may result in a 
negative experience.6

Being in a good state of mind, with trusted friends and a safe environment 
before taking magic mushrooms reduces the risk of having a bad trip.

Using magic mushrooms with other drugs
The effects of taking magic mushrooms with other drugs − including 
over-the-counter or prescribed medications − can be unpredictable and 
dangerous.
