Do shrooms show up in a urine test?

Psilocybin (present in magic mushrooms) can be detected in urine tests. However, it is important to note that standard drug tests typically do not screen for psilocybin specifically. Instead, they usually target substances such as amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, opioids, and benzodiazepines.

While psilocybin itself may not be directly tested for, it is metabolized into psilocin by the body. Psilocin is another psychoactive compound that is produced when psilocybin is broken down. Some drug tests may include the detection of psilocin or its metabolites as part of a broader screening panel, especially if the test is designed to detect hallucinogens.

The duration for which psilocybin or its metabolites can be detected in urine can vary depending on various factors, including the dose consumed, individual metabolism, and the sensitivity of the testing method used. Generally, psilocybin and its metabolites can be detected in urine for up to 24-48 hours after ingestion.
