Hey friend,

I get asked at least five times a day:

“Where can I get psilocybin mushrooms?”

And I get it—sourcing them isn’t always easy. Especially if you’ve moved, lost your old connections, or don’t feel like asking the hippies in the park for a bag of boomers.

Plus, finding legit sources online is a minefield…

Scammers in your DMs, shady vendors selling mystery capsules, and even trusted sources tend to disappear overnight.

But here’s the good news: You can grow your own.

Whether you’re microdosing or macrodosing, cultivating your own psilocybin mushrooms gives you full control:

• Quality
• Purity
• Potency

You’ll know exactly what went into the process—and what didn’t. And chances are, you’ll end up with more mushrooms than you know what to do with.

No fancy lab setup required.

You don’t need a lot of space.

You don’t need a biology degree.

It’s easier than most people think.

And yes, psilocybin spores are legal to buy and possess in most U.S. states (and in many countries around the world).

If you’re ready to stop relying on unreliable sources and take your healing into your own hands, here’s everything you need to get started:

1) Buy Spores

Psilocybin mushrooms may be illegal in most of the U.S., Canada, and Europe…

But their spores are not.

Spores are essentially the “seeds” of the mushroom, and since they don’t contain any active psychedelic compounds (like psilocybin, psilocin, or baeocystin), they’re legal to buy and possess in most U.S. states (excluding Idaho, California, Georgia, and Florida—sorry!).

If you’re looking to get started, here are some of the most trusted psilocybin spore vendors I’ve researched and vetted.

Top psilocybin spore vendors (and where they ship):

• ​Spores101 (🇺🇸 / 🇨🇦)
• ​Ralphsters (🇺🇸)
• ​Sporeworks (🇺🇸)
• ​Shiny Spores (🇬🇧 / EU 🇪🇺)
• ​Sporeslab (🇨🇦)
• ​The Magic Mushrooms Shop (🇪🇺)
• ​Mushroom Prints (🇨🇦 / 🇺🇸)

Some strains of Psilocybe cubensis are much more beginner-friendly than others due to their resilience, colonization speed, and forgiving nature.

Here are the top strains recommended for first-time growers:

• Golden Teacher
• B+
• Z-Strain
• Amazonian
• Koh Samui
• Mazatapec
• Teonanacatl

2) Get a Mushroom Grow Kit

Once you’ve got your spores, you’ll need a way to grow your psilocybin mushrooms.

Grow kits are the easiest way to start—think of them as the “set it and forget it” option. They’re beginner-friendly, low-maintenance, and widely available (many even on Amazon).

If people can grow oysters and lion’s mane at home, this is no different—just a little more magical.

At a minimum, you’ll need a simple setup to get going. Here are some of the top all-in-one grow kits:

• ​Boomr Bin (🌎)
• ​Mid-West Grow Kits (🌎)
• ​Microdose.nl Golden Teacher Grow Kit (🇪🇺)
• ​Third Wave’s Mushroom Grow Kit (🇺🇸)
• ​Virgenu 12 Jars Kit (🌎)
• ​Wholecelium Psilove Go Kit (🇪🇺)

If you’re ready to upgrade to a full-fledged grow operation, you’ll need a few extra tools.

3) Follow a Step-by-Step Grow Guide

With your spores, grow kit, and tools ready, it’s time to grow your own medicine.

The process is straightforward, but don’t just wing it.

A full breakdown is beyond today’s newsletter, but here’s the basic 5-step flow:

1. Substrate Preparation
2. Inoculation (introducing spores)
3. Colonization (mycelium growth)
4. Fruiting (mushrooms emerge)
5. Harvesting & Drying

If you’re a visual learner, courses from Third Wave, DoubleBlind Mag, or Fungi Academy walk you through every step.

Or if you’re looking for solid free guides, here are a few I recommend:

• ​A Grower’s Guide to Cultivating Psilocybe Mushrooms Indoors​
• ​How To Grow Magic Mushrooms At Home​

In just 6–8 weeks, you could be holding more mushrooms than you’ll know what to do with.

Pharmaceuticals rely on a fragile industrial system.

When that system glitches—whether from supply chain issues, economic shifts, or global crises—many are left without the medications they depend on.

Natural medicine is different.

It doesn’t come from a distant lab… it comes from the Earth. It can be grown, foraged, wildcrafted, and harvested directly from nature.

You can cultivate your own psilocybin mushrooms for both microdosing and macrodosing.

You control the quality, the purity, and the quantity.

That means you can take your healing into your own hands.

Happy dosing,

Onjae
