Psilocybin mushrooms for depression & anxiety

Dollymixture17 · 25/02/2026 10:26

After another fruitless talk to my Dr regarding my MH I am now interested in micro dosing.

For anyone that is doing/has done this, where do I start? Can I purchase a starter kit, or where do I find vendors or get spores in UK? I've downloaded lots of info, and have bookmarked things to watch on this subject.

To add, I have tried various meds, supplements, exercise, counselling etc. & I know the underlying reasons behind my depression.

Thanks

I ordered some a while ago from Mucci spores but I didn't use them in the end. I was planning to inject them into a bag of microwave rice, though I think it's then better to put them into a different container once the mycelium has grown or you're limited with the surface area.

Sorry to not be much help!

To obtain it you will have to research the dark web. This will take a lot of time and effort to get right. You will need Tor browser, and dark web resources. Some pointers can be found on reddit. I don't know if Im allowed to be telling you this online. If not sorry mumsnet and please delete my comment.

My mum uses it in microdoses and I can see a big difference in her mood. She is more calm and at peace, when she used to suffer from serious, painful depression.

I wonder if there are any clinical trials you could get on

Mushroom trips can be good or bad and different people need different amounts. Also do you really want to take something that may affect your brain chemistry for several weeks?

Op. Facebook has some groups where you can order them.
I took some microdose of lions mane and pysilo but not sure the lions mane helped me. It can have adverse reactions in some people.

Why change your name mid thread? It’s pointless and confusing.

She actually managed to get spores off a website on the normal internet and grow them, dried them out and put them into lots of capsules. This was a while ago so I couldn't tell you which site I guess she just googled and got lucky. I kept telling her it was dangerous as at least on the dark web markets it's like ebay with reviews from other buyers

You can buy the spores from plenty of places on normal internet, so just look for a site that looks legit and has good reviews same as you would anything else. It’s completely legal to sell the spores. It’s injecting them to grow magic mushrooms that’s not allowed lol. You can buy the grain bags from Etsy, then just follow videos from YouTube.
