When it comes to wellness, mushrooms are generally lumped into two main categories: Psychoactive or Adaptogenic. 

Psychoactive Mushrooms like psilocybin or psilocin are known for their mind-altering properties that create altered states of consciousness. In some cultures, these mushrooms have been used in traditional shamanic or spiritual practices to unearth revelations. In other contexts, they are used recreationally for their hallucinogenic effects. Recently a few states, such as Oregon and Colorado, have legalized recreational use. Though in most places in the United States, the recreational use of psychoactive mushrooms are still considered illegal. Amanita Muscaria is the considered the “legal magic mushroom” and at Turning Leaf we offer Foundry Nation, Boomers gummies for recreational use.

Adaptogenic mushrooms do not produce hallucinations or altered states of consciousness when consumed. Also known as functional mushrooms, they are valued for their potential health benefits and can support various aspects of physical and mental health, including immune function, stress management, energy levels, cognitive function, and more. We offer a plethora of adaptogen mushroom products at Turning Leaf, such as North Spore Mushroom Grow Kits, BLNCD Functional Cannabis Elixirs, Odyssey Mushroom Elixirs, Verdant Leaf supplements and tinctures.
