Denver mushroom cooperative holds free psilocybin exchange

In true holiday fashion, the Denver Mushroom Cooperative held a Gifting Portal for psilocybin enthusiasts… The Gifting Portal was free to attend and didn’t allow any money to change hands. Participants were encouraged to share their homegrown mushrooms as well as cultivation advice, supplies and more… the free event had a full RSVP list with an approximate 155 people in attendance across the two sessions, according to the cooperative, and all attendees were required to bring ID proving they were at least 21, with no last-minute entry...

There was plenty of discussion, however, with new and experienced mushroom consumers, cultivators and enthusiasts talking about things like microdosing psilocybin, how to start your own home grow and current political events and developments surrounding psilocybin. An organization dedicated to not-for-profit psychedelic mushroom education events such as Microdose Mondays or Psilocybin 101, the Denver Mushroom Cooperative’s Gifting Portal event, held on December 21 [2023] at Plant Magic Cafe, allowed individuals aged 21-and-up to share and give away mushrooms they had grown. Every person was given one of three name tags upon arrival: a tag with an image depicting an outstretched hand, implying that the individual was willing to receive gifts; a tag with a hand holding a mushroom, implying that they had something to offer; a tag with two hands and a mushroom between, implying that they’re open to either.
