Microdosing and gourmet mushroom drink(MUDWTR)

So I've been microdosing by grinding up dried cubes and mixing them with this drink called MUDWTR. I can't stand the taste of mushrooms but have gotten used to the taste of MUDWTR, with enough sugar and their creamer in it. The doses were usually ~0.4 but would sometimes take lower or up to a gram, so not much consistency at all.
That's the backstory. Everything was going great tbh...then I ran out of dried cubes and all I could get were chocolates with 1G in each. But I was still drinking the MUDWTR around the time of eating a piece of the chocolates.
Now I'm out of those too lol. So it's been about a week since I've taken any, but I still drink the MUDWTR. When I do...like literally after the first sip, I feel the effects of a microdose. Literally everything aside from anything visual is there, and it's as if I'd taken a 0.2g dose.
Does anybody have any experience with something like this? I'm not complaining about it, just very confused. Maybe there's a scientific explanation that has to do with the shrooms/leftover psilocybin in my system and the shrooms in the MUDWTR? Here's the ingredients:
Cacao Masala Chai Turmeric Sea Salt Cinnamon Chaga Cordyceps Reishi Lions Mane + Nothing Else

I’d think it was a mental association causing the perceived effects.

In hypnosis we call this an anchor. Basically, an anchor is a mental connection between two non-connected things. Generally someone will experiance some form of external stimulation and it will cause them to do an action.
Common anchors you may have witnessed would be when someone gets triggered by subjects like Trump, BLM, or the Hollicost. Smokers have anchors that make them smoke. Get in the car, must smoke. Just ate, must smoke. Woke up must smoke. I recently read about some guy whose gf puts her hair in a pony tail before she blows him. Over time it caused a reaction where he would get an erection whenever she put her hair up.
On the other hand, the mushrooms in that drink also have properties that will make you feel good and think clearly. The non-mushroom ingredients do a lot of the same as well.
I would wager you are feeling the effects of both.

That makes sense to me, sort-of what I thought since the feeling goes away quickly. Cool to have something to fall back on for a quick mental pick-me-up!

It's interesting if you think of it as added value—you've created a positive association with the experience of microdosing by adding a ritual to it. I love the idea of this sort of positive pavlovian training, we can get ourselves revved up for even routine things about our day.
Based on your experience, and the stuff that Domno mentioned, it's easy to see why the placebo effect can be so strong.
Also! Thanks for sharing your recipe, rinnrz, I'll have to try that out some time.

what if you only consume your mushrooms with water/in a tea.
would it have similar effects every time you simply took a sip of water?
Edit for spelling

The best way to frame things is positively. It definitely still gets me excited to pour some MUDWTR in the morning. The mornings where I've skipped it end up being busy, rushed, and miserable.
We may have unlocked something new haha so it might just work with water or tea. I was mixing the microdoses into MUDWTR for about 4 months before running out, so it might take that long.
