Hallucinogenic Mushrooms in Poland

7018 Views

Hallucinogenic mushrooms are not common in Poland. However, species containing chemical compounds with psychedelic properties generate great interest due to their effects. When consumed, they influence consciousness and mood, alter the perception of time and space, and heighten the senses. This effect is primarily caused by the psilocybin contained in the mushrooms. You can find growkits for hallucinogenic mushrooms in our online store's offer.

 

What types of hallucinogenic mushrooms are most commonly found in Poland?

The types of hallucinogenic mushrooms in Poland are almost exclusively limited to the liberty cap (Psilocybe semilanceata), which contains psilocybin and trace amounts of other psychedelic substances. Such compounds are also present in the popular species Psilocybe cubensis, which is much easier to cultivate. According to current law, spores of this mushroom can be produced and stored only for collector, observational, and research purposes. A rich offer of these can be found in our online store Shroom.it.

Natural occurrence

Psilocybin mushrooms in Poland are quite difficult to identify because they have coloration typical of many commonly found species in shades of brown and yellow. This appearance is characteristic of various inedible mushrooms that do not contain psychedelic substances. Accidental consumption of liberty caps is rare. However, reverse mistakes occur, i.e., encountering other mushrooms while searching for psilocybin varieties. This applies, for example, to inactive Panaeolus species. The liberty caps found in Poland are fairly well adapted to grow in temperate climates.

Hallucinogenic properties

The hallucinogenic properties of such mushrooms are primarily influenced by the content of specific chemical compounds. Psilocybin can produce varied effects, depending on the age, individual character traits and psycho-physical state of the user, as well as the dose taken. Psychedelic mushrooms have been used for many centuries. Representatives of ancient societies and cultures used them for medicinal and recreational purposes, as well as to expand consciousness, induce euphoric states, or achieve spiritual experiences. Individual psilocybin mushrooms differ in psilocybin content, so the duration, intensity, quality, and type of sensations can vary.

Is it legal to grow, possess, and use hallucinogenic mushrooms in Poland?

Hallucinogenic mushrooms in Poland are currently illegal. However, there are no legal prohibitions regarding the possession of spores and mycelium of varieties available in our online store Shroom.it. Our assortment consists of complete sets in the form of grow kits, allowing for research and observation. These products can be used for laboratory and collector purposes, as long as the owner does not allow the actual development of fruiting bodies. It is in these that psilocybin occurs, which cannot be possessed in Poland. The spores available in our store are optimally adapted for convenient microscope observation. To legally grow these mushrooms in other countries, one should primarily familiarize themselves with the individual regulations of those countries regarding the cultivation of psychedelic mushrooms.
