All countries

Possession

Possession is generally illegal and can be punished by a fine or up to two years in prison. The supplied sources describe limited authorized medical or scientific use, not a personal-use exemption.

Sale & growing

Unauthorized sale is illegal. Psilocybin, psilocin, and psilocybin-containing mushrooms and spores are listed as controlled substances for medical or scientific use only. Magic truffles or sclerotia appear covered as other fungi containing psilocybin or psilocin. The sources do not specify how grow kits are treated as kits.

Medical & therapy access

The law allows controlled substances to be used for medical or scientific purposes under applicable authorization rules, but the sources report no established psilocybin treatment program or routine patient access in Denmark.

Visitor notes

Visitors should not expect lawful magic-mushroom shops, retreats, or recreational use. Bringing, possessing, or selling mushrooms or spores may lead to criminal penalties. The sources do not describe specific enforcement practices for tourists.
