Do Mushrooms (Psilocybin) Show Up on a Drug Test?

Psilocybin (magic mushrooms) is NOT detected on standard drug tests.

Standard Drug Tests

• 5-panel: does NOT include psilocybin
• 10-panel: does NOT include psilocybin
• Standard employment tests do not screen for mushrooms

Can Mushrooms Be Detected?

• Specialized tests exist but are rarely ordered
• Detection window is very short: 24 hours in urine
• Psilocybin converts to psilocin, which is what would be detected
• Hair tests theoretically could detect but are not used

Why They Aren't Tested For

• Psilocybin clears from the body very quickly
• Testing is expensive and rarely requested
• Not included in SAMHSA guidelines
