Do Mushrooms show up in drug tests ?

Repent · Nov 1, 2005

I've done some research on this, and mostly it says "no," for the standard drug test. However, I'm on probation and they take comprehensive durg tests. So, if the active ingrediant in mushrooms does show up in urine, how long does it stay in your system? Will Dillution methods used for Marijuana clean my system faster? Thanks.

Although rare, it is possible to test for psilocybin in urinalysis tests. They stay in your piss for about 3 days, if I remember correctly, but I'm on probation too, and I wouldn't risk it. That's just me, though.

The first thing to know about mushrooms and drug tests is that psilocybin and psilocin, the primary psychoactive substances in psilocybe mushrooms, are not commonly tested for in the standard drug test. The basic drug test, currently used for nearly all corporate and sports testing programs, checks for 5 types of substances

Cannabinoids (marijuana, hash)

Cocaine (cocaine, crack, benzoylecognine)

Amphetamines (amphetamines, methamphetamines, speed)

Opiates (heroin, opium, codeine, morphine)

Phencyclidine (PCP)

Even the extended employment drug tests used by most companies do not test for the presence of psilocybin or psilocin. For more information on the basic and extended drug tests...see the Drug Testing Vault. It is, however, technically possible to detect psilocybin and psilocin with a drug test and we have received reports of psilocybin testing during criminal probation and a school-related drug test. Because they are less standard, these tests are more expensive to give than the basic test. The more expensive and comprehensive drug tests are sometimes used in cases where there is specific reason to believe that psilocybin mushrooms use is an issue; for example, an individual who is on probation for mushroom use might be specifically tested for the presence of psilocybin in hir system. However, generally mushroom use does not cause an individual to test positive on most random drug tests given by an employer or school.

Once ingested, most of the psilocybin is converted into psilocin within the first hour. Most of the psilocin is then excreted within the first 8 hours...but portions remain in the system for several weeks. From Stafford's Psychedelics Encyclopedia:
