What to Do if Mushroom Gummies Aren’t Working for You

Mushroom gummies have taken the world by storm, offering a legal way to enjoy the many valuable properties of both intoxicating and therapeutic mushroom varieties that have been used for thousands of years.  At Wild Orchard, we’re super excited about the mushroom gummies that have recently debuted in our catalog, which offer some of the most sought-after species from all over the world.

Wild Shroomz come with clear instructions, to ensure that you get as much satisfaction out of them as possible.  But, from time to time, you may find that you’re not getting the results you were hoping for.  So, we’ll be explaining then why that may be the case, and even provide some simple solutions to get more out of each delicious, mushroom-packed morsel.

Going Back to Mushroom Gummies 101

Mushroom gummies are pretty straightforward – they’re gummy candies infused with the extracts of any blend of mushrooms, and sometimes cannabinoids as well, like the ones at Wild Orchard Co.

Now, generally, mushroom gummies can vary in the effects they produce.  For instance, mushroom gummies infused with amanita mushrooms can produce psychedelic effects, while mushroom gummies infused with extracts of nonintoxicating mushrooms, without any psychoactive cannabinoids added to them, are more about giving your body and mind support, without any high whatsoever.  Besides that, they come in various milligram strengths, which will determine how potent their effects are.

Basically, what this means is that you should always do some research on the mushrooms in any given mushroom gummy formula before buying, to recognize ahead of time what the effects can be.  Again, this is because they can be dramatically different from one another – some can give you a full-on psychedelic trip, and others can be totally nonintoxicating, but very beneficial to your health.

Why Mushroom Gummies Might Not be Working (And What to Do About it)

Now, let’s talk about what it could mean if you took your gummies as directed, and didn’t get the results you were hoping for.

Your Dose Was Too Low

Oftentimes, it’s a matter of dosing.  And, just like with cannabis, the dose that makes sense for one person might not make sense for another.  Everyone has an innate tolerance, in addition to a tolerance based on experience with that specific variety of mushroom – not to mention the cannabinoids that may or may not be in a particular gummy formula.  For some people, they just need a higher dose than the average person to feel anything at all, in which case we recommend taking the next dose up when you plan on eating a gummy next time.

You Didn’t Notice the Type of Mushroom

It could also be that you didn’t research the specific mushroom(s) in the gummy before buying.  Maybe you were expecting psychedelic mushrooms but didn’t realize that the particular gummy formula contains a nonintoxicating mushroom like, say, lion’s mane.  Before you have expectations from any mushroom product, make sure you’re aware of the effects of each one in the formula.  Also, keep in mind that psilocybin mushrooms remain federally prohibited, so you won’t get the ultra-powerful trip that’s associated with “magic mushrooms”, no matter which product you end up buying.

The Gummies are Expired

Sometimes, you may end up with a gummy that’s past its expiration date, or possibly was exposed to conditions like heat or humidity that caused the extracts to degrade.  How fresh a gummy is would be determined by how potent it is.  So, always aim to buy a product from a reputable brand, as the product turnover rate will likely be so high that the product is sold fresh.

That Said Mushroom Gummy Product is Low in Quality

Another issue is the general quality of the product.  Between different extraction methods, methods of procuring mushrooms, formulation choices, and so on, you can just end up with a product that doesn’t work that well.  You might also find in the fine print that the actual milligram amount of the mushroom is so low, it wouldn’t be enough to produce the effects as promised.  Read the fine print to be sure you’re getting an effective product.

You Took Something Else with Them

It’s also possible that something else in your system is working against the mushroom’s effects – like caffeine, which can counteract calming effects associated with specific mushroom species, or alcohol, which can overpower the mushroom’s effects and make you feel drowsy.  If you suspect that’s the case, try taking a gummy when nothing else is in your system.

You’re Just Having an Off Day

Of course, from time to time, you might just be “off” in a way that prevents the mushrooms from properly delivering their effects to the body.  Sometimes, something with our immune system, endocrine system, or neurological system just isn’t jiving with the effects of certain mushrooms – like how when we’re sick, we might not get the response we’re used to.

Wild Shroomz Are Where It’s At!

We all understand the disappointment of investing in a product that’s supposed to give us enjoyable effects, only to feel nothing at all.  And, the reality is that there are mushroom gummies out there that are made by companies that just aren’t delivering when it comes to quality and potency.
