Let’s face it, that earthy, bitter flavour of magic mushrooms can be a bit off-putting, especially when you’re anticipating the profound experience that comes after. But what if there was a way to mask the taste and still get all the potent effects of psilocybin mushrooms? Blue honey is a simple and sweet way to create a potent psychedelic infusion using psilocybin mushrooms and honey. Not only does it make dosing more pleasant, but it also extends the shelf life of your shrooms.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through a few simple steps to make your very own blue honey—from what you need to the best storage methods and how to enjoy it responsibly.

What is blue honey?

Blue honey, also known as psychedelic honey, shroom honey, or honey mushrooms, contains raw honey and magic mushrooms. Psychedelic mushrooms are ground into a fine powder and mixed with honey, which not only masks their strong taste but also helps preserve the psilocybin.

Many psychonauts prefer psilocybin mushroom honey because it can be used in tea, spread on toast, or simply taken by a spoonful. The idea is that the honey preserves the potency of the mushrooms, making it an easy and tasty way to microdose or trip more fully. Keep in mind that the potency of psychedelic honey will depend on the potency of the mushroom strain.

Why do magic mushrooms turn blue?

Magic mushrooms turn blue due to a chemical reaction involving psilocybin and psilocin. When the cell structure is disturbed—through cutting, crushing, or even slight bruising—the psilocybin and psilocin are exposed to the air, producing a blue colour.

Different species of psilocybin mushrooms will have varying degrees of blueing. Some develop a deep blue color quickly, while others may show a more subtle hue. In fact, it’s often seen as a good sign that the mushrooms contain a high concentration of psilocybin. When making psychedelic honey, the blue color can develop over time as the mushrooms mix with the honey, creating the beautiful, potent blue honey you’re after.

Making and consuming psychedelic blue honey has several benefits, both for the flavor-conscious psychonaut and the microdoser looking for a convenient and tasty way to consume shrooms.

  1. Better taste: The most obvious benefit is the taste of honey and shrooms. Instead of the earthy, often metallic flavor of dried mushrooms, you’re left with the sweet, smooth taste of honey.
  2. Easy dosing: By infusing psychedelic mushrooms into honey, it becomes easier to portion out small, controlled doses—ideal for microdosing or for those who prefer lower doses.
  3. Longer shelf Life: Honey is a natural preservative. When stored correctly, magic mushroom honey can last for months, keeping the psilocybin mushrooms fresh and potent.
  4. Convenient consumption: You can easily incorporate edible honey mushrooms into your everyday routine. Stir them into tea, add them to snacks, or take them by the spoonful to enjoy the effects of psychedelic mushrooms.

What you’ll need to make blue honey

Before you begin, gather the following ingredients and tools to make your very own psilocybin mushroom honey:

  • Dried psilocybin mushrooms: These can be any variety of magic mushrooms you prefer—just make sure they are thoroughly dried to avoid mold growth in the honey.
  • Runny honey: Use runny honey since you’ll have to flip the jar from time to time to evenly mix the honey.
  • A clean, airtight jar: Mason jars work well for this. Ensure it’s clean and completely dry before use.
  • Coffee grinder: Finely grind the dried mushrooms to ensure maximum potency and even distribution.

Now that you’ve got your ingredients and tools, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make shroom honey.

Step 1: Prepare your dried mushrooms

Begin by grinding your dried psilocybin mushrooms into a fine powder. The finer the mushrooms, the better they will infuse into the honey. You can also use a sharp knife to cut them into small pieces if you don’t have a coffee grinder. The choice depends on how you want the texture of your shroom honey to be, but keep in mind mushroom powder will blend better.

Step 2: Layer the glass jar

Now, it’s time to layer the mushrooms and honey in your jar. Start by adding a layer of cut or ground psilocybin mushrooms to your jar, then, pour a layer of raw honey on top. Continue alternating layers of mushrooms and honey until the jar is filled. The more mushrooms you use, the more potent your blue honey will be. A good ratio is about 1 to 2 grams of mushrooms per 28 grams of honey, but you can adjust this depending on your desired potency.

Step 3: Seal and store

Once your jar is filled, seal it tightly and store it in a cool, dark, and dry place. A cupboard or pantry is ideal. Leave it undisturbed for at least 1 month. However, the longer you let it sit, the more the psilocybin will infuse into the honey, which may make it more potent over time.

Step 4: Occasionally flip the jar

Every few days, flip over the jar of shroom honey to gently stir the mixture to ensure the mushrooms are well distributed. Over the next few weeks, the mushrooms will infuse into the honey, and you may notice the honey turning a bluish color—hence the name blue honey.

Step 5: Enjoy your blue honey

After your honey has had time to infuse, it’s ready to use. Start with a small dose, like a teaspoon, to test the potency. Since blue honey can be quite powerful depending on the mushroom strain, it’s best to take it slow and work your way up based on how you feel.

How to store magic mushroom honey

Proper storage is key to preventing your psilocybin honey from spoiling, and keeping it potent for as long as possible. The good news is that honey is a natural preservative, but there are a few tips to ensure your shroom honey stays safe to consume.

  • Keep it cool and dark: Store your blue honey in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight.
  • Avoid moisture: Always make sure your jar is tightly sealed and dry to prevent moisture from getting inside. Moisture can lead to mold or bacteria growth, which would ruin your shroom honey.
  • Stir occasionally: Flipping the jar over every so often can keep things evenly distributed. This will prevent the mushroom powder from settling at the bottom of the jar.

If stored correctly, magic mushroom honey can last for several months or even years.

How much blue honey should you take?

Dosing psilocybin mushroom honey is similar to dosing dried mushrooms. However, the potency can vary based on the ratio of mushrooms to honey and how long the honey has been infusing. However, there’s no way to know for sure how strong the shroom honey is unless you try it first. Know your tolerance and start with a small amount, especially if you’re unsure of the potency.
