Mushroom tea is an infusion made by using psychedelic mushrooms, or medicinal mushrooms like Reishi[1]. The active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms is psilocybin, while the active ingredients in medicinal mushrooms are thought to be beta-glucans.
The extraction process involved in creating mushroom tea is variable, but typically involves straining the mushroom for psilocybin. By straining or filtering liquid through the fungal matter, residual psilocybin can be accumulated and stored for later use. Many variations exist in creating mushroom tea, ranging from simple straining to using coffee makers.
The resulting tea is often mixed with other drinks in order to dilute any unpleasant taste.
