I would not trust a hallucinogenic mushroom for anxiety or depression. Too likely to cause paranoia. And too difficult to get the doses right. Not to mention variations in power from shroom to shroom or batch to batch.

Mushrooms do have respectable power. The popular mushroom in healthfood stores called Reishi is calming to the mind. Helps cause relaxation and slows down a racing mind. I read somewhere about a doctor who prescribes st johns wort, but that he always combines it with Reishi. He said st johns wort alone is not usually good enough for anxiety or bipolar depression, and that Reishi gives it the power it lacks. Good for overall anxiety. For energy and pep there is Cordyceps.
