Used for millennia in spiritual ceremonies and healing practices, these sacred fungi contain psilocybin, a compound that, once ingested, converts into psilocin and sparks transformative experiences. From heightened creativity to profound emotional release, magic mushrooms are revered as tools for insight, growth, and connection.

What’s With All the Hype About Magic Mushrooms?

Studies suggest they can help with depression and anxiety, postpartum depression, PTSD, chronic pain, and addiction while enhancing creativity, mindfulness, and personal insight. As more people embrace plant medicine, magic mushrooms are guiding the way, inviting us into a world of intentional healing and exploration.

Dive Deeper Into Mushroom Chocolate

Benefits of the Mushroom Chocolate Method

Mushroom chocolate isn’t just a delightful treat—it elevates the entire experience, offering a harmonious blend of flavour, ritual, and intention. Here’s why choosing this method can transform your journey:

Gentle Onset: Cacao slows the absorption of psilocybin, creating a more gradual and smooth onset. This helps ease any potential discomfort or overwhelm, allowing the experience to unfold at a comfortable pace.

Mood Boosting: Cacao is a powerful mood-enhancer, known for its ability to increase serotonin and endorphin levels. Combined with psilocybin, it creates a synergy that lifts the spirit, increases feelings of connectedness, and supports emotional well-being.

Taste: Raw mushrooms have a distinctly earthy, sometimes unpleasant flavor. When blended into chocolate, however, it becomes a delicious treat you can’t wait to savour.

Digestion: The chitin in raw mushrooms can cause nausea in many people. When blended in shroom bars, however, mushrooms are much easier to digest.

Joyful Ritual: When savoring mushrooms in chocolate form, each bite becomes a moment of mindfulness and intention, inviting you to slow down, connect, and honor the experience.

Sensory Experience: The rich taste of the chocolate, the smooth texture, and the calming effects of cacao create a deeply immersive and satisfying ritual.

How to Choose Your Dose

  • One square (250mg) = a microdose

How to Deepen Your Experience: A Mushroom Chocolate Ceremony with Friends

Ritual magnifies intention, and sharing it with friends makes the experience even more powerful. A mushroom cacao ceremony is a beautiful way to connect while exploring the magic of psilocybin. Handcrafted with ceremonial-grade cacao, our Magic Mushroom Chocolate is designed for moments like these. Here’s how to create a sacred cacao ceremony with friends:

  1. Prepare the Space: Choose a comfortable, quiet space where everyone feels safe, relaxed, and free from distractions. Light candles, burn incense, and arrange pillows or chairs in a circle for an intimate, relaxed atmosphere that allows for easy connection and communication.
  2. Choose the Music: Music can be a powerful way to elevate the ceremony. Choose calming, ambient tunes, nature sounds, or a curated psychedelic playlist to help align the collective energy.
  3. Set Intentions: Gather in a circle and collectively set an intention for the ceremony. Whether it’s healing, connection, creativity, or simply enjoying the moment, syncing your intentions can deepen the experience.
  4. Break the Chocolate and Set Gratitude: Break your Sero Mushroom Chocolate into pieces, and before indulging, go around the circle and share a moment of gratitude. Acknowledge the cacao, mushrooms, and the shared experience you’re about to have. Gratitude amplifies intention and grounds the energy of the ceremony.
  5. Savor the Chocolate: Slowly savor each piece of chocolate with full presence. Let the act of eating become part of the ritual. Feel the texture, savour the taste, and notice any shifts in your mood or energy. Chocolate has a way of softening the experience, inviting you to ease into the journey.
  6. Connect: Allow conversation to flow. Share thoughts, stories, and lean into laughter – mushrooms enhance feelings of connectedness and this is a beautiful moment to bond on a deeper level – in joy, in compassion, and in the shared universal human experience.
  7. Allow for Silence and Reflection: allow everyone to have their own experience, whether that’s chatting and connecting, breathing by themselves, meditating, movement – it’s all sacred and should all be allowed and accepted.
  8. Close with Gratitude: When the experience begins to wind down, close with a gratitude circle. Reflect on what you’ve learned or appreciated from the ceremony and offer thanks for the shared time together.
  9. Reflect and Integrate: After the ceremony, spend time reflecting on the experience. You might want to journal your thoughts, chat, or simply relax together. The integration of a psychedelic experience is essential, so ensure there’s space to discuss what came up or just share a moment of connection.
“A group of friends took 2 squares each and we all had a blast. Lots of laughs, warm, fuzzy feels and hilarious moments. No one had any negative reactions. Next time, we are going to try 3 squares to intensify our experience. Most people preferred the shroom experience over marijuana because we felt that it’s more of a joyful, uplifting feeling.”

Harm Reduction Tips

  • Start low, and go slow: The best way to take magic mushrooms is mindfully. Start with a single square and increase your dose depending on your tolerance and the experience you’re looking for. Read our Magic Mushroom Dosing Guide for help finding your ideal dose.
  • Mental Health: Psychedelics are not recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of bipolar disorder or the spectrum of psychotic disorders, including but not limited to schizophrenia and psychosis. Please consult with a healthcare professional.
  • Medications: Certain medications, like SSRIs, SNRIs, and anxiety medications, can reduce psilocybin’s effects. Check for any contraindications before consuming any psychedelic.
  • Driving: Never drive during or after a macrodose of psilocybin. Driving while microdosing psilocybin depends on your experience and comfort level. If dosed correctly, it shouldn’t impair you, but it’s best to avoid driving until you know how it affects you.
  • Have a trip sitter – If taking a larger dose, having a sober, supportive person around can be reassuring. An experienced trip sitter can help ensure you’re safe, supported, and comfortable. Read our Guide to Macrodosing for more info on the preparation, journey, and post-ceremony integration.
