Mushroom Magic

Magical Mushrooms

These are the most commonly found mushrooms in the wild and in grocery stores. There are far too many to list them all so I picked my favorites!
Fly Agaric - a mushroom often associated with witches due to it's bright red cap and white freckles, it's also a symbol of enchanted forests or magical land. It can be used for divination, astral travel, psychic abilities, hexes, and protection. **Norns, Jörð, Odin, Heimdallr
Chanterelle - my (self declared)grandmother used to tell me they were drops of the suns light. It can be used for happiness spells, fertility, house warming, joy, and abundance. **Freyr, Sif, Sol, Frigg, Baldur
Oyster Mushroom - It can be used for an aphrodisiac, lust spells, love spells, emotional healing, and forgiveness. **Freyja, Frigg, Lofn
Magic Mushroom - It's only bolded because it's a psychedelic and have small saplings following me. I've eaten them but ya know don't do drugs kids. It can be used as an energy filler, magical amplifier, creativity, and has been metaphorical for the night/stars. ** Nótt, Mani, Aurvandil, Bragi, Loki
Saffron Milk Cap - It can be used for change, growth, healing, cleansing, prosperity, honesty, justice, and strength. **Forseti,Thor, Tyr, Sigyn, Rán
True Morels - the stories say fae and spirits make homes in the holes of true morels. It can be used in fae work, spirit work, necromancy, breaking curses, and protection. **Freyr, Hel, Skaði(purely upg)
Shiitake - this is one of the few mushrooms some cultures consider medicinal. It can be used for healing, good health, strength, earth, grounding, fertility, and youth. **Iðunn, Thor, Eir, Freyr, Jörð, Frigg
Death Cap - I'm not sure if this is true to lore or just a rumor I heard but as the story goes, a death cap picked under the New Moon is a death cap with roots in the Underworld/Hel/whatever you call it. It can be used in curses, hexing, binding, prophecy, and revenge. **Hel, Váli, Norns, Víðarr
Common Mushroom - It can be used for long life, purification, peace, prosperity, abundance, and joy. **Eir, Gerðr, Freyr, Thor, Fulla
Mushroom Stuff?
It's hard to find resources on using mushrooms in magic and in folklore other than fairy rings.
Mushrooms have been associated with witches throughout history. According to Christians in the 1500′s witches ate certain mushrooms to transform their bodies into entire beings entirely(I wish) but most likely they just liked tripping on some 'shrooms.
Mushrooms are super fun in fae magic! As you can make little homes and offerings out of them.
You can grow mushrooms pretty much anywhere, I currently have three in my bathroom! You can place them throughout your house as little wards.
You can also make them little offerings or altars! I have my shiitake mushrooms growing with malachite and orange calcite to help promote healing and aid in my chronic illnesses. It also lowkey doubles as an altar for Eir.
I'm sure it's obvious but mushrooms are wonderful for kitchen magic. I absolutely adore mushrooms so I put them in most of my recipes at this point.
You probably, definitely, should not take mushrooms from fairy rings(circles of mushrooms on the ground). Please don't, it's just not worth the risk.
Bonus advice: don't go in a fairy ring either.
You can dry mushrooms in the oven and then string them on a garland with crystals, found twigs, gathered herbs, bones, whatever you see fit!
You can charge your growing mushrooms by leaving them in the moonlight or placing crystals in their garden. You can also focus certain intents through the water you supply them with, you could use rose or lavender water! Be creative, mushrooms love a little fun.
Mushrooms in a very general sense are associated with psychic awareness/astral travel so you could use any mushroom as filler in your magic for those.
Mushroom tea is definitely a fun thing to try but not for everyone. If you decide to give it a shot please do your proper research before hand it needs to be brewed in a specific way and isn't exactly like herbal or floral tea.
