If you have any concerns about a charge on your statement, please reach out to us directly at hello@momentmushrooms.com and we’ll sort it out with you right away. We understand this is an unconventional checkout experience and we genuinely appreciate your patience while we work toward a more straightforward payment solution.

  1. We ship all orders through a variety of carriers such as Canada Post, Purolator and UPS.  Every order gets a tracking number. 
    – Small orders are charged a flat $20 rate.
    – Orders over $150 ship free.
  2. All packages are shipped in unmarked, discreet, sealed mailing pouches / boxes. Nothing on the outside indicates the contents on the inside.
  3. If you want your order sent via specific courier or signature on delivery, please email us once you’ve placed your order. However, we cannot do custom delivery requests.
  4. After processing your payment and packing your order, your package will ship. Once shipped, deliveries usually take 2-3  business days to arrive, you may follow along using your parcel tracking number.
  5. We do not ship outside of Canada.
  6. Your tracking number will be sent to you once we complete your order. Then it will be activated once it has been scanned by a mail worker.  If you do not receive your package, please wait two days past the expected arrival, then reach out to us at hello@momentmushrooms.com with your order details.
  7. We do not ship on weekends as most couriers are closed.

Honestly, we agree that shipping costs are too high. It is one of the most frustrating parts of running an online business in Canada.

Here is the plain math. We charge a flat $20 on orders under $150, and shipping is free over $150.

We ship with a variety of couriers, but as you can see on the Canada Post website, a medium sized prepaid mailer costs $28.10. Which is more than the $20 we charge. We are already covering part of that ourselves, because asking someone to pay $28 to receive a $25 bag of mushrooms felt absurd to us. That is also why free shipping starts at $150 rather than at zero.

What you are paying for is a real courier, a tracked package, and plain unmarked packaging with nothing on the outside that says what is inside. We do not add a handling fee on top, and we do not make money on shipping. We will ensure you get your package! 

If cost is genuinely standing in your way, get in touch.  We would rather hear from you than lose you. And if you have ideas for how we could make this work better, we would love to hear them.

We’re proud to serve customers across Canada, but please note that we do not offer local pickup, even if you’re near one of our team members.

We use Golden Teacher mushrooms in our microdoses. This strain is known for its balanced and insightful effects, making it a popular choice for those seeking a supportive, mindful microdosing experience.

SSRIs work on the same serotonin receptors that psilocybin activates, which means they can significantly reduce or in some cases completely block the effects of psilocybin. This is one of the most common reasons people feel little to nothing from mushrooms. The degree of blunting varies from person to person, making it hard to predict. During a taper, the receptors continue recalibrating for some time even after the medication is fully out of your system.

We recommend watching this resource which explains the interaction clearly: youtube.com/watch?v=LTwir759D84

If you are currently on SSRIs or tapering off them we strongly recommend speaking with your doctor before starting and connecting with Trina at The Dharmacist at thedharmacist.com, a pharmacist who specializes specifically in psychedelic drug interactions. Her services are by donation. 

Some people choose to microdose alongside a supervised taper with their doctor’s guidance. Others prefer to wait until they are fully off before beginning. There is no single right path, but informed and supported decisions always lead to better outcomes.

We like to call our points ‘moments’ which you earn with every purchase.

$1 spent = 5 moments 

Each 100 moments are worth $1.00 (or 1 cent each). In other words, if you spend $124, you’ll receive 620 moments. On a future purchase you can use your moments to subtract $6.20 from your purchase. 

You can also earn moments by:

  1. Leaving a product review = 1000 moments ($10)
  2. Refer your friend  = 1500 moments ($15) and your friend will also earn 500 moments

Note:

  • You need an account to earn and spend your moments.
  • You can keep track of your moments under “Account” then the side tab “moments”.
  • We reserve the right to update or change the value of moments at anytime.

Yes! You have your own unique referral code to give friends and family and you’ll earn $15 per referral (1500 Moments).

On top of that, your friend will also receive $15 (1500 Moments) to use on future purchases!

That sounds like a win-win!

Steps to start referring friends:

  1. Find your unique code: If you click the “Moment Points” button in the right corner (or under Account / Moments) you can find your unique discount code. It should look something like this: momentmushrooms.com/wlpr_ref=r_a2o3kr8sc
  2. Copy and share your unique code with friends & family.
  3. Your friend follows the unique link you provide: – The code will be automatically applied once they enter their email in checkout. – If there are any issues, it can help if they create an account on momentmushrooms.com and then re-follow the link

Note: Cookies need to be on, so incognito mode won’t work.

Once they make their first purchase, 1500 moments will be automatically added to both your and their accounts.

We are based in Beautiful British Columbia. 

We acknowledge that Moment Mushrooms operates on the unceded and ancestral lands of Indigenous Peoples along the coastal region of what is now known as British Columbia. We recognize the ongoing relationship between Indigenous communities and these lands, and we are committed to showing respect, gratitude, and humility in how we work, live, and grow here.

We also acknowledge and honour the traditional carriers of mushroom knowledge — the Indigenous healers, wisdom keepers, and medicine people who have worked with sacred plant medicines for generations. Their stewardship continues to guide how we approach this work with care and intention.

Synthetic psilocybin is a single molecule, made in a lab, chemically identical to the psilocybin found in mushrooms. It is what most clinical trials uses, because researchers need to know exactly how much of one compound each participant received. Purity and precision are the whole point.

A whole mushroom is not one molecule. Alongside psilocybin it contains psilocin, baeocystin, norbaeocystin, aeruginascin, beta-carbolines and a long list of other compounds, most of them present in small and variable amounts. Some of these are believed to be active in their own right. Others may modulate how psilocybin itself behaves.

So the honest framing is both natural versus artificial. It is also one compound versus a whole community of them.

Can you buy synthetic in Canada?

Short answer: No you can’t, not as a consumer. There’s no commercial route in Canada. The only way is through a Section 56 exemption. An individual exemption granted by the Minister of Health. The only other route is Clinical trials. Usually the most structured route, with screening, supervision and integration included. 

This is part of the reason everyone in Canada chooses to use Magic Mushrooms instead. 

Is there evidence that whole mushrooms work differently?

Yes, and it is genuinely interesting. Researchers compared a full spectrum mushroom extract against chemically synthesised psilocybin and found the extract produced stronger and longer lasting effects on synaptic plasticity, along with a distinct metabolic profile in the brain. Another study in mushroom extracts more potent than the same dose of pure psilocin on serotonin 5-HT2A receptor activity. And a 2026 computational study mapped how several minor mushroom compounds bind to brain targets alongside psilocybin, offering a possible mechanism for the difference (Scientific Reports). Worth noting that the authors of both published papers were careful about their own findings, cautioning that this is not proof that whole mushrooms are safer or more effective, only that the possibility deserves serious investigation. We think that caution is worth repeating.

Rough dosing conversion

If you have read about clinical trials and want to translate those numbers into mushrooms, here is the standard conversion, along with why it should be held loosely.

Clinical trials most commonly use a fixed 25mg dose of psilocybin. The usual conversion assumes dried Psilocybe cubensis contains roughly 1% psilocybin by weight, which gives:

PsilocybinApproximate dried mushroom
1 to 3 mg0.1 to 0.3 g (microdose range)
10 mg1 g (moderate)
25 mg2.5 g (standard clinical dose)
30 to 35 mg3 to 3.5 g (high)

Now the important caveat. That 1% figure is an average, and the real world range across dried cubensis runs from about 0.1% to 2%. In practice this means 2.5 grams might contain as little as 5mg of psilocybin, or around 25mg, or 50mg and above, depending entirely on what you are holding.

There is one more wrinkle worth knowing. Potency varies not only between strains but between batches, between individual mushrooms grown side by side, and between the caps and stems of the same mushroom. Strain differences are the largest of these by some margin, which is why moving from Golden Teacher to Enigma or Penis Envy calls for reducing your dose rather than keeping it the same.

So what should you actually do?

Dose by how it lands, not by arithmetic.

Start lower than the conversion table suggests, especially with an unfamiliar strain or a new batch. Give it time before deciding it was not enough. Adjust upward slowly across separate occasions rather than within a single sitting. And if a number on a page ever conflicts with what your body is telling you, trust your body.

This is the honest position. Whole mushrooms bring a fuller and, we believe, more interesting chemistry, and they cost you precision to get it. Working with that trade rather than against it is most of the skill.

Questions

We are always happy to talk this through. hello@momentmushrooms.com

Short answer: less than you might think!

We sell a range of strains and we describe them on our product pages, so we have an obvious interest in you believing those descriptions mean something. Here is the honest version anyway.

To start, almost all magic mushrooms for sale are the same species, called Psilocybe Cubensis. Within that species are lots of strains. You can think of a honey crisp apple vs a macintosh, but apples, but different character. 

Nobody has run a study giving people matched doses of two cubensis strains and measuring the difference in what they experienced. The scientific literature ties psychedelic outcomes to psilocybin as a compound, and to dose, mindset, setting and support. It does not tie them to strain names.

What exists instead is decades of accumulated community reports, cultivator lore, and vendor copy that has been quietly copying itself across the internet until repetition started to look like fact. Legal restrictions slowed formal research for a very long time, so most of what circulates came from underground cultivation communities rather than peer review.

What we hope testing will eventually show

None of this means the differences are imaginary. It means nobody has measured them properly yet, and we are genuinely hopeful that will change.

A mushroom is not just psilocybin. It contains psilocin, which is the molecule your body actually converts psilocybin into and the one doing most of the work at the receptor. Alongside those sit baeocystin, norbaeocystin, aeruginascin, and a family of beta-carbolines, most present in small and variable amounts. Some of these may be active in their own right. Others may modulate how psilocybin behaves, how quickly it comes on, how long it lasts, or how it feels while it is happening. Their ratios genuinely do differ between varieties.

So it is entirely plausible that one profile leans more visual, another more emotionally open, another more physically gentle or more suited to therapeutic work. That is exactly what people have been describing for decades. What is missing is the analytical work connecting a measured chemical profile to a described experience. If that research arrives, and we hope it does, strain descriptions could stop being folklore and start being useful. We would love to be able to tell you which of our mushrooms suits which kind of work, and mean it.

What is genuinely different between strains

Potency is real and measurable. Penis Envy has repeatedly tested 20 to 30 percent stronger than average standard cubensis. Enigma runs considerably above Golden Teacher. These differences show up in laboratory testing, not just in people’s accounts, and they matter enormously for how much you should take.

Growth and appearance are real. Strains differ in how they fruit, how fast they colonise, how they look. Cultivators have documented this carefully for decades.

Species differences are real. Psilocybe natalensis is not a cubensis at all. Pan Cyan is a different genus entirely. These are genuinely different organisms with different chemistry, and the differences between them are on much firmer ground than the differences within cubensis.

The comparison that should give everyone pause

Cannabis went through this exact thing.

Indica and sativa were described with total confidence for decades. Indica for the body, sativa for the head. Then chemical testing became widespread and most of those stereotypes fell apart. The categories turned out to be much more about marketing and lineage than about what the plant did to you.

The bit that makes this genuinely hard to untangle

Expectation is one of the most powerful forces in any psychedelic experience.

What you believe is about to happen is part of your mindset going in, and mindset shapes the experience more than most people realise. So if you read that a particular strain is deeply spiritual, and then take that strain holding that idea, there is a higher chance you have a deeply spiritual experience. The mushroom may have had rather less to do with it than your own anticipation did.

This is why accumulated anecdote cannot settle the question. Thousands of people reporting that Mazatapec feels ceremonial is exactly what you would expect to see whether the effect is pharmacological or whether everyone read the same description first.

So what should you actually do with this?

Hold the character descriptions loosely. They are worth something. Decades of consistent reports are not nothing, and they may reflect real differences in alkaloid ratios that nobody has properly measured yet. But treat them as accumulated impressions rather than established facts.

Consider using expectation deliberately. If a description genuinely appeals to you, choosing that strain is not foolish, because you are shaping your own mindset in the process. Just know that is what is happening. Trust your intuition! 

Or run the opposite experiment. Take something without reading anything about it first, and see what actually shows up. You will learn more that way than from any product description, ours included.

What matters more than any of this

Set and setting. Both terms are worth defining properly, because they get used loosely.

Set is your mindset. What you carry in with you: your mood that day, your expectations, your intention, what is unresolved in your life, how rested you are, whether you feel safe in yourself. Psilocybin tends to amplify what is already present rather than introduce something new, which is why the state you arrive in matters so much.

Setting is everything around you. The physical space, the light, the temperature, the music or the silence, whether you are indoors or out. It also includes the people. Who is with you, whether you trust them, whether someone is holding steady while you are not.

We would put both of these well above strain choice, and above small differences in dose. The same mushroom, at the same amount, will give one person a difficult afternoon and another a meaningful one depending almost entirely on these two things. Time spent preparing your mind and your room will do more for your experience than any amount of time spent choosing between varieties.

Why we are telling you this

Because we would rather you trusted us on the things that matter than believed us about everything.

Dose, setting, mindset and preparation will shape your experience far more than which variety you are holding. We would rather you put your attention there. 

Questions?

Always happy to talk it through. hello@momentmushrooms.com

There is no hard expiry date, but like any natural product, potency will gradually and slowly decrease over time. Potency holds reliably for a year or more under good conditions. Dried mushrooms will hold their potency longer than capsule products.

Store in a cool, dark, dry place. 

Avoid humidity, heat, direct light, and freezing (all of which accelerates degradation).
