Frequently asked questions

Is Houston Shrooms a store or delivery service?

No. Despite the name, we are an independent informational website. We do not sell, deliver or take orders for any mushrooms or products.

Where can I find fresh gourmet mushrooms in Houston?

Many Houston-area farmers markets and specialty grocers carry locally grown oyster, lion’s mane and shiitake mushrooms. Our guides cover what to look for when buying them fresh.

Are psilocybin mushrooms legal in Texas?

No. Psilocybin is a controlled substance under Texas and federal law, and possession can carry serious penalties. Texas has funded some research into psychedelic-assisted treatment, but that does not change the law for individuals.
