- Digestive discomforts such as nausea or diarrhea
- Dryness in mouth, throat, or nose
- Headaches
- Trouble sleeping
There’s no need to worry. Any unpleasant side effects will soon pass within a few hours.
Yes, functional mushrooms are legal in the US. In the eyes of the law, functional mushrooms are viewed as just another agricultural product, and they are legal to purchase, possess, and consume at your leisure.
- Digestive discomforts such as nausea or diarrhea
- Dryness in mouth, throat, or nose
- Headaches
- Trouble sleeping
There’s no need to worry. Any unpleasant side effects will soon pass within a few hours.
Functional mushrooms are not the same as psychedelic mushrooms because they do not contain psilocybin, the psychoactive compound in “magic mushrooms.” Psilocybin induces hallucinogenic effects, and it’s designated as a controlled substance under federal law. Functional mushrooms contain compounds and nutrients that support brain and body health but do not alter your perception of reality.
