WHAT IS MUSHROOM MICRODOSING?
Microdosing means that you are ingesting a ‘subthreshold’ dose of psychedelic mushrooms. This subthreshold is typically one-tenth to one-twentieth of a typical recreational dose. The objective is to experience the therapeutic benefits without the full psychedelic effects.
Psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, interacts with the serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to altered states of consciousness.
An observational study found that people who microdosed psilocybin saw small to medium sized improvements in symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress over a 30-day follow-up, compared to those who did not. The study included 900 people who reported microdosing psilocybin during the month, and a control group of 180 people who did not engage in microdosing psychedelics.
BENEFITS OF MUSHROOM MICRODOSING
In a 2019 study, researchers collected the baseline measures of 93 participants. Participants were instructed to follow Fadiman’s protocol (a specific microdosing protocol) and submit daily reports. 47.1% of the daily reports were made by participants microdosing psilocybin.
The study found a clinically significant increase (p<.05) in measures of connectedness, contemplation, creativity, focus, happiness, productivity, and wellbeing. Long term measures were taken after 6 weeks of microdosing. Clinically significant reductions in depression, stress, and mind wandering were sustained.
Integrating very small doses of mushrooms into your weekly routine for numerous benefits such as:
- Higher levels of creativity
- More energy
- Increase focus
- Improved relational skills
- Less social anxiety
- Heightened spiritual wellness
- Enhancement in senses
Enhanced Creativity
Many people who microdose psilocybin report heightened creativity and improved problem-solving abilities. It’s believed that the altered state of consciousness actually facilitates divergent thinking and the ability to make novel connections. In other words, you may experience an increased capacity to form unconventional or innovative connections between thoughts, leading to fresh perspectives and creative solutions.
Increased Focus
Microdosing may also help improve cognitive function, leading to enhanced focus, concentration and productivity. In another 2019 study people reported lower levels of distractibility.
Mood Enhancement
Microdosing has also been associated with a positive impact on mood, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. People have reported an overall sense of wellbeing, emotional stability and improved relationships.
Neuroplasticity and Learning
Psilocybin is thought to promote neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new neural connections. This may enhance learning and memory consolidation, potentially benefiting academic or professional pursuits.
Spiritual Exploration
Microdosing can serve as a tool for self-reflection and spiritual exploration. People often describe a heightened sense of connectedness, introspection, and a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.

How can I start Microdosing Mushrooms?
Method #1 – Daily Microdose (One day on, one day off)
This proven method is a great approach to microdosing mushrooms. It’s a simple yet effective way to integrate microdosing to your weekly routine. As the title suggests, you simply take one microdose on Day 1 and then you skip the next day before you take another dose on day 3.
This method allows you to thoroughly feel and experience the profound benefits on dose day and then allows a day for the effects to resonate and reflect in your mind. This also prevents a tolerance build up. The suggested dosage of Psilocybin Mushrooms for this method is 100mg.

Microdosing is the new wave of integrating very small doses of psychedelics into your weekly routine for numerous benefits. Many individuals report having:
HIGHER LEVELS OF CREATIVITY, MORE ENERGY, INCREASED FOCUS, DAILY MOOD IMPROVEMENTS, IMPROVED RELATIONAL SKILLS, LESS SOCIAL ANXIETY, HEIGHTENED SPIRITUAL AWARENESS, ENHANCEMENT IN SENSES
Extensive research has been performed in the area of mycology – the study of fungi (mushrooms) and their genetic and biochemical properties. Through dissecting mushrooms and studying/understanding how they work, researchers have discovered that these fungi are truly magical.
For example, one of the significant findings show that mushrooms creates an extension of our fear response by creating new neurological pathways (or repairing old pathways) when faced with threatening situations. For some, these situations often occur as anxiety, which interferes with social interactions and the ability to cope with life’s demands. Not only does psilocybin promote courage, but it enhances empathy – two sought after characteristics of quality leaders.
Microdosing has become a weekly routine for a diverse set of individuals including entrepreneurs, athletes, intellectuals, artists, stay-at-home parents, those struggling with anxiety or depression, and just about anyone else who’s looking to enhance their mind and soul.
HOW Mushrooms WORK
Mushrooms work by mimicking serotonin – a chemical that affects nearly everything we do, from how we feel to how we process information. As a result, this stimulates a serotonin receptor called 5-HT2A located in our prefrontal cortex of the brain. This leads to two important results:
The production of Brand Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) which stimulates growth, connections, and activity in the brain.
The increased transmission of Glutamate – the neurotransmitter most responsible for brain functions like cognition, learning, and memory.
