Yeah, its more for people who are more interested in actives than other species like gourmet or the like. Shrooms are fully decriminalized in Oregon, and are somewhat decriminalized in a few other states, although it is probably not a huge deal in most places so long as you aren't doing something stupid. There has been a pretty big push as of late push for at least decriminalization, especially because they have some success in preliminary studies on vets with PTSD (even some that was treatment resistant) when used in therapy (1, 2).

The biggest thing about the availability is how easy it is to get active spores in most states. I would be remiss to not say that those are to be only looked at under a microscope, and definitely not grown, despite how easy it might seem (definitely never lookup BRF Tek, Uncle Bens Tek, or CVG).

Also, nice mushroom pics, guess I have more screen backgrounds options now.

Wow fantastic gallery thanks for sharing!

On reddit r/mushrooms and r/mushroomid were for the fungal hobby and interest while r/shrooms was the drug community. I haven't yet gone looking for the mushroom boards here, but all posts on this board so far have been about psylocibes, primarily growing.

Psylocibin mushrooms are illegal in most areas of the US, check your local laws internationally lol. In the US, AFAIK the only legal/decriminalized areas to purchase or use psylocibin recreationally are Denver, CO Oakland, CA and the State of Oregon.

Amanita Muscaria (and by extension the other psychoactive varieties, but Muscaria is really the only one sold commercially at least right now that I've seen) to my knowledge is completely legal to obtain or use. Sale of it is rarer, but I have seen it recently popping up in more smoke shops in my area in gummy, chocolate, and vape form (mixed with cannabinoids). Pay attention as edibles can be vaguely labeled and also might have a mix of other mushrooms (Chaga, lions mane, reishi, etc.), But that's the form I'd recommend for now. I've purchased and used a brand called I think just Purple and they were good 👍
