Psilocybin Mushrooms
Psilocybin mushrooms should be avoided while breastfeeding. There is no safety data on psilocybin transfer into breast milk, and the psychoactive effects impair your ability to safely care for your baby. The unknown risk to your infant means avoidance is the only responsible choice.
Psilocybin is metabolized to psilocin, the active compound that produces psychedelic effects. There are no published studies on psilocybin transfer into human breast milk. The drug's effects last 4–6 hours and impair judgment, perception, and motor coordination, making safe infant care impossible during that time. Given the complete absence of safety data and the known impairment, all major medical organizations advise avoidance during breastfeeding.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
