History of Burma Mushrooms
First brought to the West by John W. Allen, an ethnomycologist referred to as “Mushroom John”, he came across the original Burma magic mushrooms strain in a border village between Thailand and Burma in Southeast Asia.
Though he didn’t come across this mushroom specimen by himself, it’s said that a Thai student gifted Allen with the original specimen. As an avid mushroom collector, the student discovered the first specimen growing in buffalo dung in a rice paddy.
Allen then took the original sample and isolated it into what we know and love today as the Burma mushroom.
Burma Mushrooms Appearance
Coming in all sorts of sizes, the Burmese magic mushroom has a beautiful gradient of brown shades on the cap and a lighter hue at the rim that gradually deepens toward the top. However, dried Burma mushrooms will appear shriveled up and thinner. The colour may also darken slightly.
You may notice blue spots on the shrooms. But don’t worry; blue bruising is common and can form on the shrooms from something as simple as cutting or picking them up. The bruising does not affect the magic mushroom effects or safety in any way.
Burma Mushroom Benefits
There’s more to shrooms than just getting high and seeing a kaleidoscope of colours. Let’s get serious for a minute. Psilocybin, which is the active ingredient found in magic mushrooms, is a powerful psychedelic with some incredible therapeutic potential for users struggling with psychiatric and behavioral disorders.
Used responsibly and under proper guidance, magic mushrooms can potentially treat medical health conditions such as anxiety, depression, addiction, headaches, or PTSD. Psychedelics as an alternative treatment can help rewire your brain and regulate brain networks by naturally changing thought, perception, and mood.
Always do your research before using magic mushrooms as medicine.

Magic Mushroom Consumption Methods
There’s no wrong way to take magic mushrooms. Your experience will depend on your preferences. Just remember that the potency can vary depending on the method, so a little research goes a long way.
- Dried mushrooms: No extra work involved! Portion out your dosage and munch your magic mushrooms as is. Make sure you have your favourite beverage to wash down that distinct earthy taste.
- Bananas: If you consume dried shrooms, eat a banana afterward to help with nausea and digestion. Bananas contain chitinase which helps break down chitin. This will help your body digest dried magic mushrooms better.
- Mushroom tea: Chop magic mushrooms into small pieces and add the shrooms and 2 tea bags to the hot water (below 70°C). Let the shrooms and tea steep for 15 to 20 minutes. After straining, add ginger, honey, cinnamon, or any other nutrients.
- Magic mushroom chocolate: Measure out your dosage, finely grind up Burma mushrooms, and mix them into melted chocolate (keep the temperature below 70°C). Pour the mixture onto parchment paper and let it set in the fridge.
- Lemon Tek: Experiencing an upset stomach or nausea with shrooms? Grind Burma magic mushrooms into small pieces and steep them in lemon juice for 15 to 30 minutes. Strain the mixture and enjoy a faster and more intense high.
As you become more experienced with magic mushrooms, you’ll find that there are many creative ways to enjoy shrooms. They just require a bit of extra work, we’re talking about mushroom capsules, shroom gummies, shroom kombucha, and more!
