Yes, functional or medicinal mushrooms (like Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, and Turkey Tail) are completely legal in Colorado and across the U.S. These mushrooms are classified as dietary supplements rather than controlled substances.
What about Psilocybin "Magic" Mushrooms?
Yes, if you’re 21 or older, Colorado’s 2022 Natural Medicine Health Act allows personal use, possession, and home-growing of psilocybin mushrooms. Here’s what you need to know:
- Personal Use: Private use only—no public consumption or driving under the influence.
- Cultivation: Grow up to a 12x12 ft. area in a private residence.
- Sharing: Allowed with other adults, but selling remains illegal.
- Penalties: Underage use or public consumption can lead to fines or legal action.
Stay within these limits to use psilocybin responsibly under Colorado’s law. It's important to know that psilocybin remains a Schedule 1 Prohibited Substance under Federal Law.
