Mytic Fruit’s Answer to Mushroom Drinks in an Unregulated Market
Mystic Fruits, a Virginia-based mushrooms retailer, has released a new product, Drink Infuzzers.
What is a Mystic Fruits Drink Infuzzer?
Drink Infuzzers are pre-measured drink straws infused with 1 gram of Blue Magnolia psilocybin mushrooms, available in mouthwatering flavors like Blue Razz Lemonade, Tropical Punch, and Strawberry Kiwi. We specifically use the Blue Magnolia strain, chosen for its clean, balanced effects and potential benefits for pain relief.
Each Infuzzer comes in a sealed straw that doubles as a straw, making it easy to stir into water, tea, or one of our signature “Mushtails” (more on that soon). Whether you’re on the go or just prefer a smoother experience, Infuzzers offer a discreet and tasty alternative to consuming dried mushrooms.
Like all Mystic Fruits products, Infuzzers are crafted with a commitment to accurate dosing. Our double-sifting process ensures a smooth blend with no clumps or gritty residue. Sealed in light-resistant packaging, each Infuzzer stays potent for up to six months when stored properly.
Why Did Mystic Fruits Release a Drink?
Our biggest concern with the unregulated psychedelic market—especially in food and beverage products—is the lack of transparency. Without oversight or standardized testing, there’s no way to verify what’s actually inside these products. Some so-called “psychedelic mushroom drinks” have been found to contain synthetic psilocybin analogs like 4-AcO-DMT or even NBOMe compounds (notably 251-NBOMe), which are highly potent, act on the 5-HT2A receptor, and carry serious risks including overdose or death. Others are laced with stimulants, sedatives, or dissociatives to alter the experience.
In many cases, these drinks contain little or no real psilocybin at all. Some commercial “microdose” or “functional mushroom” products rely on legal ingredients like lion’s mane or reishi, subtly implying psychedelic effects through clever marketing—without delivering them. The bottom line: without lab testing or regulation, you simply can’t trust the label to reflect what’s actually in the drink.
Mushroom-based Alternative to Alcohol!
With pre-measured, accurate dosing, our drink straws are easy to enjoy recreationally in a safe, social setting. In contrast to alcohol—which is often normalized in social environments—new research confirms that alcohol is a well-established risk factor for several types of cancer, including breast, liver, mouth, throat, esophagus, and colon.
Even light to moderate drinking has been linked to increased cancer risk, particularly for breast and esophageal cancers. This is largely due to acetaldehyde, a toxic byproduct of alcohol metabolism that damages DNA and impairs cellular repair. Alcohol also raises hormone levels, increases oxidative stress, and interferes with nutrient absorption—all of which contribute to long-term health risks. Beyond its physical effects, alcohol is also associated with addiction, depression, and other mental health challenges.
In contrast, psilocybin mushrooms are showing great promise as a mental health tool. Research continues to demonstrate their ability to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, with many users reporting lasting improvements in mood, emotional clarity, and overall well-being. Psilocybin has also been shown to disrupt negative thought patterns, foster emotional openness, and enhance feelings of connection—offering a therapeutic alternative to substances that often do more harm than good.
What is a Mushtail?
A Mushtail is simply a mocktail (alcohol free cocktail) that has been infused with mushrooms. Here are a few sample recipes for use with our drink Infuzzer straws.

Where do I find Mushroom Drink Infuzzers?
All Mystic Fruits products are available through our website: Mystic-Fruits.com, where you’ll find detailed product information, links to past articles and podcast features, and our popular “Ask a Mycologist” section. There, you can ask me—your certified mycologist—anything related to functional or psychedelic mushrooms.
My hope is that, if nothing else, you leave with a clearer understanding of what an unregulated market really means. Many of the issues facing this industry—mislabeling, inconsistent dosing, safety concerns—could be addressed through simple standards for testing, labeling, and transparency. If we want to protect our right to access plant medicines, we must also advocate for their safe and responsible use.
Cheers to you all, and stay curious!
