According to the rock paintings and sculptures of North African culture, the magic mushrooms were used long back in 9000 B.C. People started consuming them on a large scale by 1950. They contain psilocybin, which is a psychedelic compound, creating a hallucination and a feeling of euphoria. For this reason, they are listed in CSA (Schedule 1 drugs) in the United States. However, magic mushrooms have less potential for offense than other Schedule 1 drugs and are more potent in medicinal and cultural uses.

How to Care for the Plant
Water
Just like all fungi, mushrooms also flourish in moist climates. Hence they need damp and humid growing media, such as compost or manure. Also, mist the soil to maintain moisture.
Fertilizer
Mushrooms need starch, sugar, fats, nitrogen, protein, and lignin to grow well. To fulfill their need for these nutrients, you can use compost made from straw and manure. If you don’t have these materials, you can use corn, peat moss, and sand. They are also capable of extracting essential nutrients from the wood of logs or sawdust.
Sunlight
Mushrooms don’t need as much sunlight, like other plants, for growth and food. Thus, the best place to grow them is a basement or any dark area, as darkness retains moisture that their spores use for reproduction.
