How to build a Magic Mushroom business without harming the planet.
Transparency over greenwashing.
Moment creates premium psilocybin products with a fierce commitment to sustainability & quality.
We know: ‘sustainability’ is an easy thing for a company to claim. But for us, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of our business.
Moment was created by fostering sustainability within three main areas:
We depend on the deeply respectful relationships we’ve created within all these areas. And if we don’t ‘walk the walk,’ honestly—our business won’t succeed. It’s that simple.
Mushrooms have dramatically changed our lives.
Mushrooms have supported us, taught us, and empowered us. With that, we feel a responsibility to live a beautiful life of service.
We have a vision of bringing the life changing power and benefits of magic mushrooms to Canadians. However, Canadians are currently being denied access to life changing medicine and we believe that all Canadians have the right to seek out their own healing.
Our Key Values:
1. Support people: We are genuinely trying to improve people’s lives. We believe that people who are more present live happier and more fulfilled lives. Supporting people can look totally different from person to person, so we operate out of a mindset of non-judgement.
2. Sustainability: We are all part of nature and feel a deep sense of connection and responsibility for the products that we make. We strive to use vegan ingredients and environmentally friendly packaging that doesn’t put the disposal burden on the consumer.
3. Result: With the help of Mushrooms, you become complete about your past and move forward to live a more fulfilled life you love.
In our experience, consuming mushrooms promotes a deep connection to our natural environment. It feels incredibly disingenuous to then create and sell a product that is full of plastic & non sustainable
It’s essential that we create and sell products that allow this relationship with our natural environment to flourish.
Packaging: We’ve gone to great lengths to source packaging that’s:

We want our products to deliver the best possible experience to our supporters. That means creating premium products made from only the highest-quality ingredients.
Our stacks are made up of three main ingredients: psilocybin mushrooms, medicinal mushrooms, and plant based herbs & medicines.
The main ingredient requires our highest level of care. The psilocybin mushrooms we use grow naturally, without the use of pesticides or chemicals. We selectively use young mushrooms with veils still attached or detaching, which means they are harvested at the ideal time to maximize potency and eliminate side pins.
Each mushroom is then individually hand trimmed with a knife to ensure no substrate on feet and minimize spores on caps. Once picked, they are dehydrated at 60°c to ensure they are fully dried with zero chance for mold growth, while preserving psilocybin potency. Then they are carefully packaged with a desiccant pack to maintain freshness.
Harvesting and preserving mushrooms in their original form takes a lot of careful handling and TLC. Then, in small batches we create our products as you see them. We’re proud that all of this work, care, and passion, gets passed along to you.
For all of our other plant based ingredients, we work with a clinical herbalist. This method ensures that we source the highly quality, potent, effective, and easy-to-use plant medicines. All of the ingredients come from ethically sourced organic farmers to wild foragers. With rigorous small batch standards, all of our plant medicines are tested for purity, potency, and quality to guarantee you receive the best nature has to offer.
Our non-psychedelic mushrooms contain independently verified active compounds and are pure fruiting body mushrooms, with zero grain or mycelium fillers. (Many other companies use products that are produced from mycelium being grown on grain. They are packaged and sold as mushrooms, when they’re actually filled primarily with the grain that the mycelium is growing on.)
Furthermore, our mushrooms are concentrated between 8:1 and 16:1 instead of being 1:1 powder. This is important for several reasons:
First, is that with this process we can control which elements remain in the final product.
Secondly, the extraction process is a long-term cooking process which breaks down the cell wall of the mushroom. This cell wall is composed of chitin, which is the same tough substance that crustaceans make their shells from. Through this extraction technique, we can break down this chitin and give our bodies easier access to the important compounds.
Thirdly, the extraction process leads to a very high yields of Beta-Glucans. Beta-Glucans can be up to 15 times more concentrated depending on the kind of mushroom in extracts when compared to powders. The cooking extract causes specific substances (and especially beta-glucans) to become eluted from the cellular matrix and therefore much more readily available and easier to absorb through digestion.
We recognize that we’re nothing without you—our community.
We are always looking for new ways to support our community, whether it’s partnerships with guides, health care professionals, trip sitters, facilitators, and more.
