NBC News (7/18, Syal) reports, “Mushroom edibles are soaring in popularity across the U.S., claiming to offer a variety of mind-altering experiences, from the mild – a boost in focus from a ‘microdose’ – to psychedelic trips.” However, “the effects don’t necessarily stem from psilocybin, the Schedule I chemical found in so-called magic mushrooms.” Often, it is “a mushroom called Amanita muscaria – at least according to the product label.” According to NBC, “in reality, what’s going into many of these products remains an open question.”
