TRE House’s Juicy Mango Magic Mushroom Gummies contain a proprietary blend of mushrooms and other ingredients. These gummies can be taken for wellness and microdosing or used to experience psychoactive effects. Each person reacts differently to edibles, so it’s best to start with one gummy and wait a few hours before taking more. The recommended serving is two gummies per day.

The gummies are advertised to provide a feeling of euphoria and mental clarity and to relieve stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia. They contain “non-psychoactive mushroom extracts” and hemp, according to the company’s website. But lab tests of the gummies show they actually contain psilocybin and psilocin, which are known to have hallucinogenic properties.

Mushroom Gummies: A Delicious Way to Stay Healthy

All four adults who were seen in the UVA emergency department between September and November had consumed the gummies intentionally, and the child was hospitalized this June after consuming two gummies. Typical hospital drug screens don’t detect these chemicals, and researchers warn doctors to be on the lookout for people who come in with hallucinations, racing heartbeats and altered mental state.

These gummies were sold in the same shops as kratom, a natural plant that produces opioid-like effects and has become popular in the US and elsewhere. An investigation of a sample of five brands of the gummies found in central Virginia gas stations and smoke shops also turned up psilocybin, psilocin, ephedrine and the herbal compound kava.
