Psychedelic mushroom shops in California
Several California cities have decriminalized entheogenic plants. Retailers also stock Amanita muscaria products (federally unscheduled).
Decriminalized in several cities. Amanita muscaria is federally unscheduled.
California has not legalized psilocybin statewide — SB 519 stalled in 2022, and SB 58 was vetoed by Governor Newsom in 2023. But a growing list of California cities have deprioritized enforcement against entheogenic plants and fungi for personal use, including Oakland, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Berkeley, and Arcata.
Amanita muscaria — the iconic red-and-white toadstool — is federally unscheduled and legal to buy and sell in California. Retailers across the state stock Amanita gummies, capsules, and dried caps, along with microscopy supplies, spore prints (legal in California for research), and functional-mushroom products like lion's mane and reishi.
Use Mushy Guide to find Amanita muscaria retailers, functional-mushroom shops, and psychedelic-community resources across the Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego, and beyond.
