The research is already out there.
We made it easier to find.
MegaShrooms is a Canadian mushroom research catalog. We catalog the most searched functional and psilocybin mushrooms with research summaries, active compound profiles, potency ratings, and direct citations to peer-reviewed literature.
What we are
MegaShrooms is an informational and educational resource. We do not sell mushrooms, supplements, or controlled substances. We do not make health claims, therapeutic claims, or purchase recommendations.
What we do: catalog the most popular functional and psilocybin mushrooms by search volume, synthesize the research, provide potency ratings for psilocybin species based on published tryptamine analytics, and link directly to source studies. Every claim on this site that references a scientific finding is attributed to a specific study.
We also provide sourcing context — which products are available in Canada, what procurement through legitimate channels looks like for legal functional mushrooms, and how Health Canada’s exemption system works for Canadians seeking authorized psilocybin access.
Our principles
Attributions, not claims
We write "Researchers found X" not "This mushroom does X." Every health-related statement links to the study it comes from. Readers can verify every claim.
Potency data from analytics, not community
Psilocybin potency ratings are based on published tryptamine assay data from peer-reviewed sources and community science programs (Psilocybin Cup). Not from forum anecdote.
Legal status, always visible
Every psilocybin entry includes Canada's legal classification (Schedule III, CDSA) and information on Health Canada Section 56(1) research exemptions. We don't minimize legal context.
The catalog
Functional Mushrooms
The 20 most-searched functional mushrooms in Canada, based on Google search volume. Each entry covers active compounds, documented research uses, preparation methods, contraindications, and direct study citations.
Psilocybin Mushrooms
The 30 most-searched psilocybin mushroom species and cultivars. Each entry includes a potency rating (1–5 based on published tryptamine data), compound profiles, traditional use context, and harm reduction notes. Legal status prominently displayed.
