Read on to learn the secrets to making the trippiest and tastiest magic mushroom gummy edibles.
Have You Ever Wondered How to Make Your Own Mushroom Gummies?
If the taste of magic mushrooms makes your stomach turn, then you’ve probably searched for tastier alternatives. You may be curious about mushroom gummies, but how do you make them? We’ve got you covered. For the recipe, you will need 4 food ingredients, some niche kitchen accessories, and of course, some high-quality dried magic mushrooms. If this already sounds like a lot – don’t worry! For these mushroom edibles, you don’t have to be a culinary maestro or a food scientist. With just a bit of time, patience, and care, you should have yourself a bowl full of trippy gummies in no time.
The Magic of Mushroom Gummies
The true magic of mushroom gummies lies in the taste and the texture. Reminiscent of childhood days, these fruity candies are far more enjoyable to chew on than a plain dried mushroom. Psilocybin mushrooms are renowned for having an earthy, funky taste that can be really difficult for many to put in their mouth or keep down in their stomach. Gummies, however, do a wonderful job of masking that raunchy flavor, making it far more enjoyable to eat a dosage of shrooms. Starting your trip off with a pleasant experience for the taste buds is sure to set you up for a more positive and uplifting trip.
What are Mushroom Gummies?
Mushroom gummies are just what they sound like – trippy little chewy morsels that take you on a journey through your consciousness. A more enjoyable way to eat them than the dried mushrooms, these gummy edibles provide you a far yummier option. Not only do they taste great, but they also make dosing easier and can help prevent nausea. What’s not to love about that?
The Benefits of Mushroom Gummies
There are a few solid benefits to mushroom gummies. Should you be called to make these yummy treats, the first benefit you will find is that the flavor profile is much nicer than a chunk of dried mushroom. Although many psychonauts are accustomed to the earthy taste of mushrooms, some people can just never quite get the hang of it. It also makes a great intro for newbies, easing the transition into psychedelics. Gummies are a great way to hide the musty odor and funky taste of dried mushrooms, making them much easier to ingest and enjoy.
Another benefit of psilocybin gummies is that they make dosing easier. They are a perfect addition to any micro dosing regimen, allowing you to know exactly how much is in each gummy that you eat. You’ll do all the measuring and math while cooking up these treats, so that later on you won’t have to worry about it.
Mushroom gummies are also easy to store and tend to last longer. On top of this, they make transportation easier, allowing you to take your mushrooms with you, no matter where you go. These gummies appear similar to candy, making them far less susceptible to screenings and security checkpoints.

- ½ Cup Fruit Juice of Choice

Understanding Your Main Ingredient: Magic Mushrooms
The world of magic mushrooms is infinite. There are so many different strains and varieties, and they all offer a different set of effects, benefits, and experience. Choosing the right mushroom strain for your gummies will depend entirely on what access you have to psilocybin, as well as what your experience level is, and what your desired outcome is. For instance, if you are an advanced psychonaut looking for an intense trip, try a P. Cubensis variety like White Rabbit or Penis Envy. If you are new to mushrooms, or just want a mellow mushroom, we recommend Golden Teacher or Mazatapec. Whichever magic mushroom you choose, be sure to buy them dried for gummy making.
Remember, mushrooms create a highly psychedelic experience. Expect profound insight, vivid hallucinogenic visuals, strong auditory hallucinations, distortion of time and space, euphoria, and a sense of interconnectedness with the rest of the world. Tripping on mushrooms is a spiritual experience that should not be taken lightly. Ensure you are in the right headspace before ingesting, and prepare for a positive experience by creating a safe and comfortable environment.
Other Key Ingredients for Your DIY Gummies
Time and patience are two key ingredients that cannot be forgotten when making DIY gummies. Think of this as a science experiment that takes a good deal of preparation and care to ensure a positive outcome. Psilocybin, the active ingredient in mushrooms, and what is responsible for the trippy effects, can be a bit testy. With too much heat or not enough preparation, you can quickly diminish the properties and potency of psilocybin, leaving you with a trip-less gummy. Take care and remember to be patient throughout this process, not skipping or slacking on any of the steps.
How to Make Magic Mushroom Gummies at Home
Ready to get in the kitchen and whip up some magic mushroom gummies? Once you have all the ingredients gathered, you should be good to go. Be sure to sanitize the kitchen first. Then, simply pop on some good tunes and get in the gummy-making mood! Follow along to the instructions listed below, and you should have a yummy batch of gummy shrooms in no time.
Step-by-Step Guide: Making Your Mushroom Infused Gummies
Follow these instructions to make the perfect mushroom gummies.
- If your dried mushrooms are not yet ground into a powder, do this now. You can use a coffee grinder for this step.
- Place your dried mushroom powder into a bowl or container, then squeeze your lemons in. Ensure that the lemon juice completely covers your mushroom powder, and then let sit for about twenty minutes.
- Once the twenty minutes are up, it is time to strain the infusion into a cup. The leftover mushroom residue in the strainer can be thrown away or blended into your gummies – chef’s choice!
- Next, mix the fruit juice, sugar, and agar agar into a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Stirring frequently, let the mixture boil for two minutes.
- After two minutes, let the mixture cool just a bit, then add the lemon/mushroom infusion. (Advice – If you wait too long for cooling, the agar agar may make the consistency too solid to pour)
- Fill your mold using a spoon or a candy dropper. Be careful not to overflow the molds.
- Leave the gummies to set for 10 minutes at room temp.
- Once at a solid consistency, release the gummies from the mold and place in a jar or other container.
- For proper storage, place gummies in the fridge for a longer shelf life.
- Enjoy your freshly-made trippy delights!

Safety Precautions While Making Mushroom Gummies
We highly advise making mushroom gummies only while you are sober. There is plenty of time to trip once they are made, but for now, you will want a clear head. Anytime fire and cooking are involved, safety should be prioritized.
Be sure to also sanitize your kitchen and utensils before and after use. This prevents contamination, and ensures that your gummies are pure and safe to eat.
Keep in mind, if proper care is not taken, mushroom gummies can be hard to measure and determine proper dosage. Tread carefully, and avoid eating more magic mushrooms than you can handle. Avoid bad trips by getting yourself in a positive mindset, eating them in a comfortable setting, and surrounding yourself with trusted companions.
