Mushroom gummies can take 30 minutes to two hours to deliver their iconic, psychoactive effects. And these effects can linger for some time, typically around six to eight hours. But all those hours of fun, that specific timeline for effects, varies from person to person, thanks to unique bioavailability factors, like height, weight, body composition, tolerance, and more. So, while the gummies might kick in for you after a mere 30 minutes, your buddy might not feel much until the two-hour mark.
Look, we get it; our answer might not be exact. It might not satisfy your query—not fully. But we can’t say, “In exactly ten minutes from now, that gummy is going to crack open a disco ball, shut off the house lights, and propel your party into a night of fun-fueled ’70s splendor.” We can’t say that because we just don’t know. You’re different, unique, special, and asking for a narrow answer to a question that’s like an iceberg with a big ’ole unseen bottom bobbing under the water. We want to give you the honest truth, and the truth is … complicated *cues the X-Files theme song*.
So, let’s look at that big ’ole unseen iceberg bottom and see why this answer is (sometimes) so nebulous. But first, let’s get on the same page here. Let’s introduce you to our wonderful line of delicious, fun-fueling magic mushroom gummies!
What Are Mushroom Gummies?
Mushroom gummies are bite-sized, fruit-flavored edibles that carry a precise amount of legal blend of mushroom extracts—a blend that can pepper your mind and body with some serious psychoactive effects.

What’s Inside Mushroom Gummies?
Now, let’s talk about how these gummies do what they do. What’s really in our mushroom gummy blends? And before we dive any deeper, the answer is no; our mushroom gummies don’t contain psilocybin or amanita muscaria mushrooms. These bite-sized edibles contain our proprietary liposomal blend: 5-HTP (a.k.a. 5-hydroxytryptophan), Rhodiola rosea, lion’s mane, mimosa hostilis root, phenylethylamine hydrochloride, and cyanocobalamin (B12). When mixed together, these ingredients can create a very fun, potent body buzz—one that’s awfully similar to the effects of classic magic mushrooms.
THC Gummies vs. Shroom Gummies
In terms of when effects kick in, shroom gummies fall under a similar timeline to THC gummies: the OG psychotropic edibles. But, what these effects feel like are vastly different.
Our magic mushroom gummies offer more of a body-heavy sensation that radiates like a warm, fuzzy pinball being slingshotted from your flanges to your feet and back to your face. Many adults say they do feel some cerebral effects, but these effects sort of play in the background behind the all-encompassing body buzz. And you can expect these same effects from each and every flavor of magic mushroom gummies. Every flavor contains the same ingredients and dose.
THC gummies, on the other hand, offer a vastly different cascade of psychoactive effects. Depending on the blend of hemp-based cannabinoids, THC gummies can deliver effects that range from relaxing to euphoric to bubbly energetic. So, the effects of THC gummies are much more eclectic than those of mushroom gummies. That’s key to understanding before going into your first disco dance with our magic mushroom marvels.
How Do Mushroom Gummies Interact With the Body?
When you take a mushroom gummy, the first thing that happens (after your taste buds fall in love, of course) is the gummy arrives at the gates of your digestive system. These aren’t physical gates; think more metaphorically. (Take a gummy, that may help with abstract thinking.) And your digestive system is a labyrinth of curves, turns, tight corners, and acid that gradually eats away at the gummy. The gummy must power through, wade through this crucible, and arrive at your liver, where the magic happens.
At your liver, the remnants of the gummy filter through and absorb into your bloodstream. This is how the active ingredients in our mushroom gummies deliver their fun-fueling effects. And, as you can see, it takes some time to get there. But that trek isn’t the only thing affecting a mushroom gummy’s ability to power up your third eye.
Let’s take a look at a few more factors.
Factors Influencing the Effects of Mushroom Gummies
A few things can impact how (and when) the effects from mushroom gummies kick in. Factors like dosage, bioavailability, tolerance, and set and setting all can influence the mood. Let’s take a look at each.
Dosage
Obiviously, how many mushroom gummies you take will influence what the effects feel like. If you’re new to these edibles (or literally, any other edible), it’s best to stick to a low dose for your first time. For mushroom gummies, a low, starter dose is one gummy. After you take that dose, it’s best to wait up to two hours to feel its effects. Don’t make the classic rookie mistake of taking too much too soon and getting too elevated. You can take more after feeling the full effects of the first serving.
Bioavailability Factors
Like with any other psychoactive edible, or really any substance, how it affects you will be different from how it affects the other people in your circle. Factors like height, weight, and body composition all affect a product’s bioavailability. Now, you’ve probably run into the word “bioavailability” before, albeit on your quest to learn more about the effects of mushroom gummies. Bioavailability is just a big word for how much of a substance gets absorbed into your body. And how much gets into your body won’t always be the same. For instance, taking a gummy on an empty stomach may speed the process up, while taking a gummy after a big meal may extend the process even further.
Tolerance
How often you take these delicious delights will also impact how quickly (and how strong) these effects kick in. If you take a dose of mushroom gummies nightly, you may need a little stronger serving down the road; your tolerance level for mushroom gummies gradually increases as you use them. If you’ve never taken a mushroom gummy before, you have a beginner’s tolerance. One gummy may take you to the same cloudy euphoria that your friend, the Mushroom Maestro, may need a few more to reach.
Set and Setting
The two factors you have the most control over are set and setting. Going into your first mushroom mambo in a safe environment with a clear head is super important. You don’t want to dive down the wormhole in the wrong place, surrounded by bummers, buzzkills, and burdens. Set your space first. Maybe go for a nice leisurely hike, lounge on the beach, nestle in a hot tub under the stars, or recline on a sofa, flip on the tube, and giggle your way through a day-long I Love Lucy marathon.
Timeline for Effects
Generally, it can take up to two hours to feel the effects of mushroom gummies, which can linger for up to eight hours. But, what does that timeline look like?
Onset
After you take your preferred dose of mushroom gummies, kick back, relax, and wait. Twiddle your thumbs if you must. Just don’t re-up—not yet, at least. Around 30 minutes to one hour after that first dose, you may feel a few whispers of euphoria start settling in.
Peak
The peak typically hits a few hours after your dose. Our mushroom gummies are beloved for their deliciously divine head-to-toe body buzz. You can expect these effects to really ramp up after hitting that two-hour mark. The peak of these effects can last for some time, too. So, make sure you are in a place you can lounge for a few hours.
Come Down
After they peak, the effects start to dissolve around five to six hours. But for some, these effects can linger for up to eight hours.
Final Thoughts
So, now you get it. (Hopefully.) Now, you see why there isn’t an exact, specific, 1:1 answer for how long it takes mushroom gummies to kick in. There’s a range, and while you’re special and unique and different and beautiful, you’ll fall somewhere in that range. Remember, prep your set and setting; don’t take too much too fast; and keep your hands and feet inside the coaster at all times.
