Mushrooms

Mushroom gummies are gelatinous edibles containing one or many species of mushrooms, that come in various flavors, with sugar and sugar-free options. Generally, the mushrooms in mushroom gummies will have some wellness benefits associated with them. 

Some common species include lion's mane, chaga, reishi, and maitake, but mushroom gummies may also contain non-mushroom species of fungus such as cordyceps. Most mushroom gummies on the market are non-psychoactive except for gummies containing extract from Amanita muscaria (sometimes known as fly agaric). 

Mushroom gummies encompass a broad range of products, and can contain extracts from a number of mushroom species, but at Hometown Hero, we currently offer Elderberry Magic Amanita Muscaria Gummies. Per piece, these gummies contain: 

We crafted this unique blend in-house of adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms to produce a product that can help boost creativity while promoting a sense of calmness and relaxation. Compared to our THC products, these gummies will have less noticeable psychoactive effects but offer greater clarity. 

What mushroom gummies "do" can vary depending upon the composition of the gummy itself. Some gummies offer just one type of mushroom; for example, a mushroom gummy only containing varnish shelf may be geared towards focus, while a mushroom gummy containing only reishi may be better suited for sleep. If you need help with what a mushroom gummy can do, it's best to read the product packaging and research the mushroom included or each ingredient for the blend. 

Gummies, whether they do or do not contain mushrooms, generally have a long shelf life. Our Magic Amanita Muscaria Gummies will last two years unopened as long as you remember to reseal the bag they came in. But just to be extra careful, be sure to go by the expiration date on the package the gummies came in and be sure to keep your gummies either at room temperature or refrigerated. For long-term storage, you can also freeze your mushroom gummies. 

How long it takes for mushroom gummies to kick in depends significantly on what's in the gummy. For some mushroom gummies, you may not even notice when you start to feel the effects because they are so subtle. However, in regard to our Magic Amanita Muscaria Gummies, you should expect an onset of effects (such as a brighter mood and calmness in many cases) between 30 minutes to an hour and a half. It's best to remember that these types of products affect everyone a bit differently, and when it comes to psychoactive gummies, factors such as when or if you have eaten before trying them can also come into play. 

You can purchase mushroom gummies from our online store. Although we specialize in cannabis, Hometown Hero offers a four-pack of elderberry-flavored Amanita muscaria gummies that contain a proprietary blend that includes Amanita extract, lion's mane, holy basil, and CBD. This blend is perfect for brightening your day while remaining clear and focused. 

Yes, our mushroom gummies are legal as they contain only lion’s mane and amanita muscaria mushrooms. Amanita muscaria is not, nor has it ever been, considered a controlled substance by the federal government and many state governments. Louisiana is the only state where you cannot buy Amanita muscaria mushroom gummies.

When people think about "illegal mushrooms," they are thinking of species that contain psilocybin, which the federal government and many state governments consider to be controlled substances. The Amanita muscaria species does not produce psilocybin. 

There is no objective "best" mushroom gummy out there. It all depends on what you want you're looking for out of such products. If you are looking for a mushroom gummy that can offer creative inspiration while helping you feel alert and relaxed at the same time, we highly recommend our elderberry-flavored Magical Amanita Muscaria Gummies. Featuring a deep berry flavor that helps mask the taste of the extracts and a well-balanced proprietary blend, these gummies offer a one-of-a-kind experience. Plus, like all of our other products, we offer our customers third-party lab results that they can access on our website so they can have peace of mind that the product they are enjoying contains what we claim contains and is free from contaminants.
