Choose the appropriate amount of hallucinogenic mushrooms
If you’ve never used hallucinogenic mushrooms before, it’s preferable to start with small doses of psilocybin. Adjust the amount of mushrooms based on the number of capsules you want to prepare. If you have x capsules, multiply this number by the desired psilocybin dose per intake. In the case of microdosing, it’s advisable that these doses be between 0.1 and 0.5 grams. Thus, you’ll know the amount of hallucinogenic mushrooms needed to prepare.
For example, if you have 50 capsules and want to achieve a dose of 0.2 g, just do the following calculation: 50 x 0.2 = 10 g. Therefore, you’ll need to have 10 grams of hallucinogenic mushrooms available.
Grind the hallucinogenic mushrooms
To make psilocybin capsules, you’ll need to grind and crush your hallucinogenic mushrooms. For this, you can use a grinder, a coffee mill, or a spice mortar. The coffee mill will allow you to obtain finer grains. If you don’t have one available, a grinder or spice mortar will do the job perfectly.
You can also use psilocybe mushroom powder that is already prepared.
Capsule composition: alternatives
You can choose to put only psilocybin in the capsules, but there are also other possibilities. In fact, mycologist Paul Stamets proposes the “Stamets Stack,” which consists of adding other elements to the psilocybin capsules:
- 0.1 g of psilocybin-containing mushroom
- 5 to 20 g of powdered Hedgehog mushroom (a species of edible mushroom)
- 75 to 200 mg of vitamin B3 (niacin)
According to him, the combination of these components would allow you to enjoy excellent effects on the body.
Fill the psilocybin capsules
To fill the psilocybin capsules, you have several options depending on the materials you have.
Use a machine to prepare psilocybin capsules
Using a capsule filling machine certainly represents the simplest way to fill psilocybin capsules. You’ll need to start by separating the capsules into two. Then, place the longer part of the capsules in the base of the machine, and the shorter part in the cap. You’ll only need to fill each half of the capsules on the base with mushroom powder. Finally, close the machine to seal the psilocybin capsules.

Use a funnel and/or a spoon
You’ll need a funnel of a small size. Or perhaps a very small spoon. This is a more accessible method, but also more laborious. Simply scoop the mushroom powder with a spoon and insert it into half of the capsules, using a funnel or not. Then, you’ll only need to manually close the psilocybin microdose capsules.
