New to magic mushrooms? This is the reading we'd hand a friend, in the order it helps most.

1. Learn the basics

What magic mushrooms are, how psilocybin works and how long an experience lasts.

2. Choose a format

Dried mushrooms, capsules, chocolate and gummies differ in taste, how exact the dose is and how quickly they start.

3. Get the dose right

Start low and read the label: every product lists the strain and the amount in each piece.

4. Plan for safety

Who should avoid mushrooms, medication interactions, set and setting, and having a sitter.

5. Thinking about microdosing?

What microdosing is, what the research shows so far, and the common schedules.

6. Easy first orders

Starter kits put a small, labelled selection together so you don't have to choose everything at once.

These guides are general information, not medical or legal advice. All products are for adults 19 and over.
