Psilocybin is the naturally occurring psychoactive compound found in certain mushrooms, including the Golden Teachers we work with at Sero. Once metabolized in the body, psilocybin converts into psilocin—a compound that interacts with serotonin receptors in the brain, supporting shifts in perception, cognition, and mood.
At high doses, psilocybin opens the door to immersive, consciousness-expanding journeys. But even at small, sub-perceptual doses, it has the ability to support healing, creativity, and a more compassionate connection to ourselves.
Microdosing is the intentional practice of consuming small, sub-perceptual amounts of a psychedelic — for psilocybin, this usually falls between 50 to 300 milligrams. At this mushroom dosage, you won’t experience any trippy visuals or perceptual shifts like with a macrodose. Instead, the effects are subtle and cumulative: increased focus, emotional steadiness, ease in the nervous system, and a clearer sense of perspective.
But why is microdosing trending? Because the world is collectively waking up to the incredible healing potential of plant medicine. More and more people are looking for tools that go beyond just managing symptoms —tools that help us understand ourselves more deeply, navigate life with greater presence, and heal on a deep, lasting level.
There’s not one best way to consume psychedelic mushrooms. Every method brings its own kind of magic—whether you’re easing in, diving deep, or simply staying curious. The beauty of this medicine is that it meets you where you are. What you choose depends on your intention, your experience, and how you want the journey to unfold.
Here’s a look at some of the most popular ways to work with psilocybin—and what each one has to offer.

Keep in mind that everyone’s tolerance is different and your body can react differently to the same psilocybin mushrooms dosage depending on your state – always start low and go slow.
Only undertake a macrodose under the supervision of an experienced facilitator, trusted trip sitter, or psychedelic therapist and read our Guide to Macrodosing for more information on dosing and pre & post ceremony musts.

Capsules make it easier to begin—and sustain—a relationship with psilocybin. Here’s why:
Capsules are especially supportive for:
Lite Brite’s formulation is targeted to uplift and improve your mood.
We recommend this if you’re ready to breathe deeply again, tap into your heart center, and experience true gratitude. Best enjoyed on a garden-lined stroll or lounging in the sun on a back patio with a friend.
At Sero, we believe that your relationship with this medicine should be intentional, intuitive, and deeply personal. We always recommend to start low and go slow – let your body guide you to the dose and protocol that works best for you.
75 mg – If you’re brand new to microdosing or you tend to be sensitive, this is a gentle place to begin. While some may find this dose too subtle, it’s always wise to start low and slowly work your way up.
125 mg – Our most popular dose and the sweet spot for many. This level often brings noticeable shifts in mood, clarity, and focus—without tipping into perceptible psychedelic effects.
250 mg – If 125 mg doesn’t register for you, this slightly stronger mushroom microdose may offer more noticeable benefits. It’s a great fit for those with a naturally higher tolerance or who’ve been microdosing consistently over time.
All Sero microdosing capsules are available in these three thoughtfully chosen dosages, making it easy to meet yourself right where you are—and adjust as your relationship with the medicine evolves. If you’re buying psychedelic mushrooms for the first time, microdose capsules are a great place to start.
If you’re just beginning your microdosing journey, we recommend easing in gently and giving your body time to adjust and respond. Here are a few protocols to consider as you start your experience:
No matter which protocol you choose, we suggest taking at least two days off each week, and a full one-week break after every two months of microdosing. This helps maintain the balance and effectiveness of your practice.

Measuring out mushroom powder yourself requires a precision scale and careful handling—which can feel intimidating when you’re just starting out. Not to mention, the dose is very difficult to get right, and depending where your mushrooms are from, the potency can vary widely.
Sero capsules remove the stress and uncertainty. Each capsule is expertly-dosed, potency tested, and thoughtfully formulated. This allows you to focus on what truly matters: your intention, your healing, and your growth.
While every journey is different, most users report:
And remember – it’s not always easy. Psilocybin can help bring buried emotions to the surface for healing. You might cry. You might feel frustrated. You might uncover patterns that are ready to be released. The medicine shows you what you need to see – that’s the magic.
Microdosing isn’t just about the mushrooms—it’s about how you show up for the experience. Pairing your practice with intentional habits can help you go deeper, notice subtle shifts, and integrate the benefits more fully into daily life. To truly transform your relationship with yourself and the world around you, consider pairing your microdosing practice with:
Mindful Movement
Gentle practices like yoga, stretching, or tai chi can help ground your energy, connect you to your body, and reduce stress—making you more receptive to microdosing’s subtle shifts.
Breathwork & Meditation
Conscious breath and stillness practices (like pranayama or mindfulness meditation) regulate the nervous system and heighten awareness, helping you tune into emotional patterns and process them more clearly.
Journaling
A regular journaling practice can help you explore your thoughts, patterns, and emotions as they shift throughout your microdosing journey. Writing things down gives your experience shape and makes the subtle changes easier to recognize.
Habit Tracking
Using a habit tracker or mood tracker can help you connect the dots over time. Track things like your dosage, energy levels, focus, sleep, mood, creativity, or anxiety levels to see how your microdosing protocol is affecting your day-to-day life.
Nature Time
Microdosing and nature are a beautiful pairing. Whether it’s a forest walk or a barefoot moment in your backyard, being outside helps regulate your nervous system and tap into feelings of connection, clarity, and awe.
Community & Integration Support
Sharing your journey with others—whether through a trusted friend, therapist, or integration group—can make the experience feel more supported and expansive.
Remember, the intention you bring to your practice shapes the experience itself. Stay curious. Stay open. And let your daily rituals become part of the medicine.
Microdosing isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about gently returning to the most present, connected version of yourself. The version that feels joy in the little things, welcomes clarity with an open heart, and moves through life with intention and inner knowing.
Whether you’re just beginning or deepening your journey, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Wherever you’re at—this is your invitation to meet yourself more fully.
