The popularity of psilocybin mushrooms is growing worldwide, and mushroom delivery services are popping up to cater to demand. Mike on a Bike is one Vancouver-based shroom delivery service that delivers throughout the city by bike courier, and others such as Utopia Mushrooms can deliver across Canada. These services are a great option for those who do not want to travel long distances or don’t have time to pick up their own shrooms.
Shipping mushroom delivery is a little trickier than weed, but it’s not impossible. The key is to keep the shrooms dry and make sure they do not have any moisture or humidity inside their storage container. You can use a desiccant packet (like silica gel or oxygen absorbers) at the bottom of the storage bag, and place your mushrooms on top to prevent any excess moisture from seeping in. It is also important to poke holes on the outside of the box to allow for air exchange, as mushrooms are perishable.
Mushrooms must be kept in a dark, cool place for the best results. The temperature needs to be around 60° F or lower. You can use a dark place in the kitchen, or even the refrigerator, but be sure to store them away from any heat sources.
From Farm to Table: The Journey of Mushrooms via Delivery Services
All of the investigated mushroom extracts showed antiplatelet activity in vitro. The most promising was A. auricula-judae, which inhibited adenosine-5’-diphosphate and arachidonic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation. The aggregation inhibition of this mushroom extract was not fully correlated with the inhibitory effect of ASA, indicating that it may work via multiple mechanisms. Inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation was also demonstrated for the hot water extracts of P. eryngii and G. lucidum, which was slightly less potent than that of A. auricula-judae.
