===Available forms=== Psilocybin is most commonly consumed in the form of [[psilocybin-containing mushroom]]s, such as ''[[Psilocybe]]'' species like ''[[Psilocybe cubensis]]''. It may also be prepared [[chemical synthesis|synthetically]], but outside of [[clinical research|research settings]] it is not typically used in this form. Regardless of form, psilocybin is usually taken [[oral administration|orally]]. The psilocybin present in certain species of mushrooms can be ingested in several ways: by consuming fresh or dried fruit bodies, by preparing an [[herbal tea]], or by combining with other foods to mask the bitter taste.<ref name=EMCDDA/> In rare cases people have [[intravenous]]ly [[injection (medicine)|injected]] [[mushroom extract]]s, with serious [[medical complication]]s such as [[systemic disease|systemic]] [[fungal infection|mycological infection]] and [[hospitalization]].<ref name=Amsterdam2011/><ref name="GiancolaKorsonCaplan2021">{{cite journal | vauthors = Giancola NB, Korson CJ, Caplan JP, McKnight CA | title = A "Trip" to the Intensive Care Unit: An Intravenous Injection of Psilocybin | journal = J Acad Consult Liaison Psychiatry | volume = 62 | issue = 3 | pages = 370β371 | date = 2021 | pmid = 34102133 | doi = 10.1016/j.jaclp.2020.12.012 | url = }}</ref><ref name="SivyerDorrington1984">{{cite journal | vauthors = Sivyer G, Dorrington L | title = Intravenous injection of mushrooms | journal = Med J Aust | volume = 140 | issue = 3 | pages = 182 | date = February 1984 | pmid = 6694611 | doi = 10.5694/j.1326-5377.1984.tb103978.x | url = }}</ref><ref name="CurryRose1985">{{cite journal | vauthors = Curry SC, Rose MC | title = Intravenous mushroom poisoning | journal = Ann Emerg Med | volume = 14 | issue = 9 | pages = 900β902 | date = September 1985 | pmid = 4025991 | doi = 10.1016/s0196-0644(85)80643-0 | url = }}</ref> Another form of psilocybin (as well as of related psychedelics like [[4-AcO-DMT]]) is [[psychedelic mushroom edible|mushroom edible]]s such as [[chocolate bar]]s and [[gummy|gummies]], which may be purchased at [[psychedelic mushroom store]]s.
