Mushroom Shop Montreal

Amid Montreal’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, modern mushroom shop Montreal and the city’s bustling street life is an obscure shop where people purchase illegal hallucinogenic mushrooms. It is a place where the atmosphere hums with a blend of nervous excitement and defiance, despite the store’s status as an outlaw business that sells prohibited substances. Its neon-coloured façade belies a nondescript room that looks like a medicine cabinet or a candy store, stocked with edibles and organic mushroom strains in jars and bags lining shelves that are carefully organised according to potency and euphoric effects.

The store, named FunGuyz, opened in July and has already been raided twice. The first time occurred just hours after it opened on July 11 and resulted in the arrest of four people. The second raid happened a week later and led to the seizure of more than 300 kilograms of psilocybin. It also led to five people being arrested and their apartments searched. The store’s operators fully expect a raid in the future and believe they are engaging in civil disobedience similar to the way cannabis stores were operated prior to legalization.

The store offers a variety of psilocybin mushroom products including gummies, chocolate bars, tea bags and a few other varieties that can be ordered online and shipped nationwide. The prices are fairly expensive, but there are sales and membership loyalty discounts available that can help ease the blow to your wallet. It’s possible to hunt and grow your own psilocybin mushrooms at home, but it requires an immense amount of effort, skill and carries the risk that you might not have the right strain for the desired effect.
