In 2025, people can purchase psilocybin on the street for $5 to $35, depending on the location of sale, dosage, and other factors.

The cost of a single dose of magic mushrooms depends on what a person considers a dose and what their intended use is. If a person is trying to trip on psilocybin, they are likely to take up to an eighth of an ounce as a single dose. As of 2025, this will cost around $30 to $35. If a person is microdosing, they are going to take a much smaller amount. In this case, a single dose might only cost a few dollars. While a dose of magic mushrooms may seem expensive, they are not considered addictive.

The average cost of illicit street drugs is influenced by several factors, including availability, local laws, the manufacturing process, and more.

Factors That Affect The Street Price Of Magic Mushrooms

The price of magic mushrooms remains relatively stable and is most affected by the type of actual mushroom being used. Some varieties are rarer or are stronger in the effects that they provide, so they will naturally cost more.

Factors that affect the price of psilocybin include:

  • Location: prices can change dramatically from one area to another, with cities potentially having higher prices due to increased demand
  • Availability of Product: the season can affect price, with street prices lower during peak harvesting time
  • Demand and Supply: higher demand and limited supply can drive prices up
  • Quality of Product: Different strains of psilocybin mushrooms have different levels of potency, and higher potency will usually mean higher prices
  • Local Laws and Legal Status: street prices may be higher in areas where psilocybin mushrooms are illegal, whereas regions with decriminalization or legalization status may see lower prices
  • Species of Mushroom: certain strains of psilocybin, such as Penis Envy, are known for their rarity and potency, and will cost more than strains that are easier to acquire and more common

It’s important to understand that prices for psilocybin are approximations and can vary considerably. Consuming illicit substances such as magic mushrooms carries both legal and health-related risks.
