SHROOM HELP
Answers to commonly asked questions.
Shrooms Info
Magic mushrooms are any psilocybin/psilocin-containing mushrooms. These compounds make them hallucinogenic and have been used by people for thousands of years in ceremonial practice, for medicinal reasons and recreation. Psilocybin mushrooms; commonly known as magic mushrooms, mushrooms or shrooms, are a polyphyletic informal group of fungi that contain psilocybin which turns into psilocin upon ingestion.

- Addiction treatment: Psilocybin may help individuals overcome addiction and addictive behaviors.
- Cognitive enhancement: Potential benefits include improved cognitive function, enhanced problem-solving skills, and better focus and concentration.
- Symptom relief: Psilocybin can help alleviate symptoms of conditions like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), cancer-related symptoms, and stress.
- Personal growth and creativity: Users may experience increased creativity, spiritual awareness, and personal growth, as well as improved relational skills and mood.
- Cognitive development: Psilocybin can improve problem-solving skills, enhance openness and other beneficial personality traits, and promote self-efficacy.

Microdosing (Up to .25g)
A small dose isnāt enough to ātripā in the traditional sense, but can lead to subtle yet profound internal shifts. Improvements in mood, productivity, or creativity, enhanced focus, less reactivity, and the possibility of relief from depression, anxiety, cluster headaches, and a variety of other symptoms.
Level 1 (0.25-1 gram)
This level produces a mild āstoningā effect, with some visual enhancement (i.e. brighter colours, etcetera). Some short-term memory anomalies. Left/right brain communication changes causing music to sound āwiderā.
Level 2 (1 to 2 grams)
Bright colours, and visuals (i.e. things start to move and breathe), some 2-dimensional patterns become apparent upon shutting eyes. Confused or reminiscent thoughts. Change in short term memory leads to continual distractive thought patterns. The vast increase in creativity becomes apparent as the natural brain filter is bypassed.
Level 3 (2 to 3.5 grams ā medium to high recreational dose)
Very obvious visuals, everything looking curved and/or warped patterns and kaleidoscopes seen on walls, faces etc. Some mild hallucinations such as rivers flowing on wood-grained or āmother of pearlā surfaces. Closed eye hallucinations become 3 dimensional. There is some confusion of the senses (i.e. seeing sounds as colours, etcetera). Time distortions and āmoments of eternityā.
Level 4 (3.5-5 grams ā heavy recreational to spiritual dose)
Strong hallucinations, i.e. object morphing into other objects. Destruction or multiple splitting of the ego. (Things start talking to you, or you find that you are feeling contradictory things simultaneously). Some loss of reality. Time becomes meaningless. Out-of-body experiences and e.s.p. type phenomena. Blending of the senses.
Level 5 (5+grams ā heroic/spiritual dose)
Total loss of visual connection with reality. The senses cease to function in the normal way. Total loss of ego. Merging with space, other objects, or the universe. The loss of reality becomes so severe that it defies explanation. The earlier levels are relatively easy to explain in terms of measurable changes in perception and thought patterns. This level is different in that the actual universe within which things are normally perceived, ceases to exist! Satori enlightenment (and other such labels).
Absolutely! Many studies are proving how beneficial psilocybin mushrooms are for mental health and we can speak from first-hand experience that it is true! Our reviews section is filled with people speaking about the benefits of magic mushrooms, in particular to their depression.
If youāre consuming them on a regular basis, yes. You should wait 2 weeks between larger doses of magic mushrooms to reset your tolerance.Ā You don't need to do this, shrooms are not toxic but you will need a larger dose if you trip again shortly after tripping.
Psilocybin mushrooms are non-toxic.
You cannot technically overdose on mushrooms as the amount needed would be basically impossible to eat. You can have a bad trip though. Bad trips can make you face difficult things in your life, internal things that you often ignore or have suppressed. If this happens, just know that you will be OK, and after your trip you will most likely feel better about those issues, this is being studied by professionals for use in therapy.
Bad trips are not very common and they should not deter you from taking mushrooms, if you take them responsibly.Ā People have been eating magic mushrooms since we started walking and there have only been a few instances of people taking too much and harming others. As with any substance, shrooms must be taken with caution and good intentions.Ā Injuries and harmful acts are EXTREMELY rare, they are minuscule (unlike alcohol or cocaine). People on mushrooms tend to appreciate everything, be very chill and full of laughter to the point of tears.
However, if you do feel that you seriously need help. We advise you call a loved one or seek medical attention.Ā Our products are made with actual mushrooms and do not interact with many medications, however it is possible so be sure to do your research if you are on any medications such as anti-depressants, anti-psychotics or antibiotics.
The short answer is maybe, and you should NEVER consume recreational amounts of mushrooms before you work or operate any kind of vehicle. However, most drug tests do not test for psilocybin/psilocin, almost all of them test only for cannabinoids, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates and PCP. Always use mushrooms responsibly.
Magic mushrooms are not addictive. You can Microdose daily with no addiction issues whatsoever. Our bodies build up a tolerance though so while microdosing daily is fine, you would need larger and larger doses to get the same experience. We recommend taking a break of 2 weeks or more between trips for efficiency.
Psilocybin is a natural ingredient and does not contain any addictive properties so NO withdrawal symptoms.
If you store your mushrooms in a cool, dry, dark place and theyāre sealed in a zipper bag, Tupperware, or mason jar, they will retain potency for a long time. If they get damp there is a possibility of them growing mould, so always store them sealed with the desiccant/silica packet we provide.
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience from our magic mushrooms, please use them responsibly and with caution. The following guidelines can help minimize risks and maximize benefits:
- Respect the recommended dosage: Avoid taking more than the suggested amount of mushrooms to reduce unnecessary risks.
- Have a trusted trip sitter present: If you're new to magic mushrooms, have a sober trip sitter nearby to provide guidance and support in case of an emergency.
- Avoid combining substances: Refrain from mixing magic mushrooms with other substances, such as cannabis or alcohol, as this can increase the risk of adverse effects.
- Keep Vitamin C readily available: Having Vitamin C on hand can help mitigate intense effects if you've taken a stronger dose than intended.
- Stay hydrated after the experience: Drink plenty of water after the trip to help flush out the psilocybin and restore your normal state more quickly.
By following these guidelines, you can significantly increase your chances of having a positive and enlightening experience with our magic mushrooms.
Microdose Info
MicroDose Capsules are a new way to experience the benefits of psilocybin without the intense, psychedelic effects. Each capsule contains precisely measured doses of psilocybin, allowing you to tap into the therapeutic potential of this powerful compound without overwhelming your senses. This method of consumption allows for easier integration into daily routines, providing a subtle enhancement to your mental faculties without the need for significant life changes.
This is a loaded but important question. There are many schools of thought on this.
Personally, we microdose every day as a part of our morning routine but some other methods have been proven very effective. Try a few and see what works best for you.
Dr. Fadimanās Approach
Dr. Fadiman recommends taking a microdose capsule once every 3 days to prevent any changes in tolerance. Workweek Approach For a boost in energy and cognition during a hard work week, this approach recommends taking one microdose capsule 5 days a week, and taking the weekend off.
Balanced Approach
Kind of like Dr. Fadimanās approach, this balanced approach will help prevent changes in tolerance but instead of once every three days, youād be taking a microdose capsule once every other day.
Weekday Approach
Microdose every weekday, skip the weekends.
Daily Approach
Microdose daily.
The Stamets Stack: Developed by mycologist Paul Stamets, this protocol involves āstackingā several supplements to create a nootropic stack. The ingredients include:
0.1 grams of Psilocybe cubensis mushroom
5-20 grams of whole or powdered Lionās Mane OR 50-200mg of Lionās Mane extract
75-200 mg of Niacin (Vitamin B3)
The microdosing schedule for the Stamets Stack is as follows:
Days 1-4: Microdosing days
Days 5-7: Transition days
Days 8-11: Microdosing days
Days 12-14: Transition days
Lionās Mane is believed to promote neurogenesis and stimulate nerve growth, while Niacin helps deliver the compounds to neurons and the brain blood barrier.
Most of the work microdosing will do for you is in the background, it may be a little challenging to know if microdosing is working for you. The compounds in magic mushrooms are proven to help rewire the brain, however, this takes time and because of that, the effects might not seem super dramatic. If you look a little deeper you should notice some major changes in your outlook, emotional and mental health, creativity and more. You should notice an overall change in perceived well-being, possibly less bothered by things that would normally really bug you, you could find yourself worrying less and enjoying the world around you more. Microdosing isnāt a magic ācure-allā but itās a very powerful tool for changing your outlook on life and allowing you to be a more well-rounded you.

We ship from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia to anywhere in Canada. Unfortunately, we cannot ship across the border at this time.
We package all of our orders in discreet packaging, using a different company name. Until your package is opened, there is no way to tell that it contains magic mushrooms.
We try our best to ship or deliver on the same or next business day. Bars are made on a per-order basis to ensure freshness and it is just two of us so if you need your order for a certain day, please add that to your order note. Ā Typically all orders are received by our customers between 2 and 4 business days.
Yes, if you are not happy with your product, we will send you a replacement product or a refund (minus shipping) once you return the original. If the original has been consumed, our hands are kind of tied because that puts us in a situation where we can be taken advantage of. However, we are here to help so if you are not satisfied with your consumed product, letās chat about it and we will try to make it right. Since 2018, not a single order has been returned.
We do everything ourselves (the growing, producing, packaging, shipping, hosting and operating our website) and we have very little overhead. Growing the actual mushrooms isn't expensive. It is time consuming, making the products, packing, shipping and operating our website is also time consuming. You're basically paying for our time and we work cheap as Happy Fungus is a labour of love, not a plan to get rich.
Most people are broke these days and the bigger shops are ripping people off so we decided to undercut everybody.Ā If you find a lower price from a legitimate operation, let us know.
Shroom Bars
On the outside, you can't. We use the same box design for each variety since we have so many options.Ā There will be a label on the foil that your bar is wrapped in. The label includes the strain, kind of bar, bar size and when it was made (usually a few days before you receive it).
Happy Fungus chocolate shroom bars are pretty big compared to the other bars (Often around 1.5 grams or 1500mg).
We grow several strains that vary in potency and offer bars in a few sizes so our potency range is very high. From 3 gram Golden Teacher shroom bars to 10 gram Penis Envy shroom bars. We have something suitable for all occasions.
Our bars are made of actual mushrooms that we grow ourselves, many bars sold online are made of research chemicals. They feel like mushrooms but they are not, these bars can be dangerous.
Our bars START at 3 grams (3000mg) and they are still cheaper than the bars sold by others that have only a fraction of the mushrooms in them. Our bars have 24 squares containing magic mushrooms that we grew ourselves and while they are made for tripping, they can also be used as a tasty microdose!
One square from a Basic Bar (The 3 Gram Bars) contains 125mg on average.
This is a smaller microdose size.
One square from a Heroic Bar (The 5 Gram Bars) contains 208mg on average.
This is pretty much a standard microdose size.
One Square from a Legendary Bar (The 7 Gram Bars) contains 291mg on average.
This is a high microdose size.
One Square from a Psychonaut Bar (The 10 Gram Bars) contains 416mg on average.
This is almost a half gram per square, do not use these for microdosing.
Now you know how many mg of magic mushrooms are in each square of our bars. Use this information to help you find what dose size works best for you.Ā Always start low and give it time to kick in (About 20 minutes or so, depending on when you last ate).
Properly stored, handmade gourmet chocolates & chocolate bars will maintain the best quality for about 6 months but will remain safe beyond that time. We recommend that all of our products are stored in colder temperatures (fridge or freezer for edibles).
Absolutely. We only make products that we consume ourselves. If you want milk chocolate shroom bars, you're not going to find them here but our bars are just as good, or even better than the ones made with milk chocolate.
Weāre here to help lessen suffering, not contribute to it. Our products are 100% vegan friendly.
Bars are small enough to fit in bubble mailers, which means we can ship them using stamps.Ā If you choose free bar shipping, this is how they will be sent.Ā If you chose to pay for shipping, they will be sent in a Canada Post box with plenty of room so adding other products when using paid shipping makes sense.
We make our bars fresh, when you get your bar it will be at most a few days old.Ā Ā In order to maintain the best taste, we recommend you keep bars (open and unopened) in the fridge.Ā If you have children, please make sure they are VERY hidden as these bars are not made for minors.
