Psilocybin and psilocin are controlled substances. The supplied sources say private personal possession or use is not a criminal offence; possession or use in public can bring an administrative fine, reported as €601–€30,000. Sale, supply and cultivation are described as prohibited or criminal. Sources differ on how the law applies specifically to mushroom material, so this summary does not treat mushrooms as openly legal.
Sale & growing
Sale and supply are not legally permitted. One source also reports a prohibition on selling Psilocybe species to the public. A Spanish media article claims magic truffles are legal, but the other supplied sources do not establish that as a settled legal position.
Medical & therapy access
The supplied health source reports no general medical-access or reimbursement route for psilocybin in Spain; it describes access as limited to trials. It does not establish a routine prescription pathway.
Visitor notes
The sources do not identify lawful retail shops or retreats for psilocybin mushrooms. A visitor should not assume mushrooms, truffles, spores or grow kits can be bought or carried legally. Public possession or use may lead to an administrative fine; the supplied sources do not specify the status of spores or grow kits in Spain.
