Where to Get Magic Mushrooms: Local and Online Guide

You can get magic mushrooms either from local vendors in decriminalized areas or from online shops that legally sell spores, kits, or microdosing products. Just make sure you check the laws in your state before you buy.

Magic mushrooms remain illegal under federal law, but enforcement priorities vary widely by location. In the U.S., a patchwork of local laws means that some cities have decriminalized psilocybin and a few states now allow licensed psilocybin therapy (Oregon) or supervised use (Colorado). 

If you’re considering mushroom products, always check current local and state laws first, and remember that federally, psilocybin is illegal.

Here’s the real breakdown.

Option 1: Local access

In cities that have decriminalized psilocybin, small-scale access may occur through informal networks.

For example, in places like Denver (CO), Oakland and Santa Cruz (CA), Seattle (WA), Detroit and Ann Arbor (MI), Cambridge (MA), and a few others, local ordinances direct police not to prioritize enforcement for possession of mushrooms. However, decriminalization simply means low enforcement priority; it does not create legal dispensaries. 

There are no official “mushroom stores” even in these cities. Instead, interested individuals might find:

• Community groups or clubs:  Underground mycology groups or private clubs sometimes share spores and cultivation tips among members. (Remember cultivation of psilocybin mushrooms is still illegal in most states, even if enforcement is lax.)


• Workshops or retreats: Some organizations hold educational workshops, retreats, or therapy sessions focused on microdosing or psychedelic therapy. These events usually emphasize education and harm reduction.


• Conferences or festivals: Psychedelic conferences or “mushroom expos” can occur in decriminalized cities. These are typically informational and may offer legal plant medicines (like non-psychedelic mushrooms) or spore kits, not actual psilocybin mushrooms.

In short, living in a decriminalized area may make it easier to use mushrooms without fear of arrest, but it does not mean you can walk into a shop and buy them. Any actual psilocybin products are still obtained through non-commercial channels or licensed therapy programs.

Option 2: Online vendors

Because psilocybin itself is illegal, no online retailer can lawfully sell mushrooms or extracts containing psilocybin unless operating under one of the few legal state programs. However, several related products are legal to sell and ship nationwide:
