FunGuyz was one of the best-known names among Toronto’s walk-in magic mushroom stores. If you are searching for it today, the most important thing to know is that its stores are gone. This page explains what happened, what the law says about mushroom dispensaries in Canada, and what to consider before buying psilocybin anywhere.
FunGuyz operated a chain of storefront magic mushroom dispensaries, including several in Toronto. In November 2024, the company announced that it was closing all 30 of its physical locations in Ontario and Quebec, citing more than 120 police raids on its stores. It said it would continue to operate online (NOW Toronto, 25 November 2024).
An earlier version of this page described FunGuyz as an operating shop selling gourmet and medicinal mushrooms. That was wrong: FunGuyz sold psilocybin products, and its walk-in stores have closed.
No. In Canada, psilocybin and psilocin are Schedule III substances under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, and the production, sale and possession of magic mushrooms are illegal unless authorized by Health Canada (Health Canada). Toronto Police told NOW Toronto that psilocybin is an illegal substance under the Act, and that selling or producing it requires an exemption from Health Canada (NOW Toronto).
Storefront dispensaries have opened in Toronto and other Ontario cities despite this, but they operate without legal authorization. The legal routes to psilocybin in Canada are narrow: clinical trials, the Special Access Program, and individual exemptions under section 56 of the Act.
Whatever the source, psilocybin products are not regulated for consumers in Canada, so labels are claims rather than guarantees. Potency also varies widely: when 14 Psilocybe cubensis strains were grown under identical laboratory conditions, total tryptamine content differed by more than 7.8-fold between strains, and psilocybin varied by 13% to 23% between individual mushrooms of the same strain (Sharchaton et al., 2026). Start low with any new product or batch.
Psilocybin effects typically begin within 15 to 45 minutes and usually last four to six hours (Health Canada). It can raise heart rate and blood pressure, and people with heart conditions, a personal or family history of psychosis or bipolar disorder, or who take psychiatric medication face higher risks. Never combine psilocybin with lithium: in an analysis of online reports, 47% of lithium-plus-psychedelic experiences involved seizures (Nayak et al., 2021). Never pick wild mushrooms to eat, because poisonous species can look like magic mushrooms.
