Frequently asked questions

Is Magic Shroom Heaven a mushroom store?

No. Despite the name, we are an independent informational website. We do not sell, ship or take orders for any mushrooms or products.

How should fresh mushrooms be stored?

Most fresh mushrooms keep best in the refrigerator in a paper bag or breathable container, and are best used within a few days. Avoid sealing them in plastic, which traps moisture.

Are psilocybin “magic” mushrooms legal?

Psilocybin is a controlled substance under US federal law and in many countries. A few places have regulated programs or decriminalization measures, so always check the laws where you live.
