Eating magic mushrooms alone, in dried or fresh form, is not the most pleasant experience, and if you think about it, we’d never eat “culinary” mushrooms in this way, so no reason to do it with magic ones.  There are so many stories people gagging and choking to get those little guys down, that we decided it was time to show you how to eliminate the suffering from eating magic mushrooms by preparing them in pleasant and delicious ways.

In this article, we’re going to take a closer look at “Set and Setting”, an expression which was coined by Timothy Leary in 1964.

Over time, our relationship with psychedelic mushrooms has inspired deep respect and curiosity for the entire range of species. We all know that mushrooms can be tasty and trippy, but did you know that they can dramatically improve your physical health?
