How Much Do Shrooms Cost, And Where Can You Buy Them?
Except for foraging, growing them yourself is always going to be the cheapest option as purchasing magic mushroom spores will cost you around $15-$20. Doing it yourself will make you produce more than 100 times the quantity of mushrooms compared to buying them from a dealer.
If you wish to purchase it from a dealer, the cost is about $20-$40 for an eighth of an ounce, $100 for a half an ounce, and $200 for an ounce. The price point still depends on a variety of different factors such as the part of the country, demand, dosage, mushroom strain, and alleged quality.
The ultimate cost will also depend on how much you wish to purchase, of course, and how quickly you intend to go through your batch. Knowing your shrooms dosage can help calculate your spending prior to even approaching a seller.
On the large scale of things, DIY is a lot cheaper. Still, a dealer is a dealer… and buying it even from the most reputable one definitely isn’t legal. Or particularly safe.
The illegal status of magic mushrooms which still classifies them under Schedule I of the controlled substances act makes their sourcing and selling unregulated and unsupervised. This means there’s no way to actually know what’s in the product. Unless you have it tested yourself.

How Much Do Shrooms Cost At Dispensaries?
Yes, psilocybin dispensaries do exist. But does that make them legal? Not quite.
Dana Larsen, the founder of The Medicinal Mushroom Dispensary, has been in the cannabis business for over 30 year. With psychedelics booming, he wanted to get ahead and be the first in Canada to open a dispensary. Although not technically legal, Larsen’s dispensary is continuing to operate. And with his history of activism and founding the Vancouver Seed Bank — an online dispensary for cannabis, peyote, and coca seeds — he’s eager to challenge the law.
Psilocybin gets delivered in capsules, with the shrooms cost between $4 to $7 CAD. Each shroom contains 25mg, 50mg or 100mg of dried Golden Teachers mushrooms. These mix with spirulina — which is an algae that’s high in antioxidants and protein.
Exciting news: Oregon is legalizing Psilocybin therapy in early 2023. Click here to get on the waiting list for the first state-approved psilocybin therapy in the United States now!

October 13, 2022 at 12:15 amI suffer from manic depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I am tired of taking chemical antidepressants that cause me to gain weight and other side effects. I would really like to try psychedelic mushrooms and microdosing. Antidepressants that I’ve been on for years doesn’t work completely.
