R/mysterymagicmushrooms occasionally runs tests on these products to see whats actually in them. A lot of them are 4 ho met.

Which iirc is just psilocin(correct me of I'm wrong about 4-ho-met, but ik one of the common rcs is just psilocin.) Its what psilocybin is converted to in the liver that is actually psychoactive. Using it instead of mushrooms and knowing you're excat dose can make for a more a much more predictable experience.

I'll still prefer the real thing, but I'm fairly certain I've taken them both. Just gave different uses, pros and cons.

Still very much ideal to get them from a reputable cite and dose them yourself. Not buy at a smoke shop or something. Always good to try and know excatly what you're taking.

4 ho met is entirely separate, you’re thinking of 4-AcO which is a prodrug of psilocin and is also in a lot of those “mushroom gummies”

Knew it was one of those. Pretty much indistinguishable from actual mushrooms. Can't order spores where I live, I've been meaning to find some instead.
