Psilocybin in the Netherlands: mushrooms and sclerotia are treated differently

The Netherlands placed hallucinogenic mushroom fruiting bodies on Opium Act List II in 2008. In April 2026, the Dutch Supreme Court confirmed that magic truffles, or sclerotia, fall outside the Opium Act and may be cultivated and traded. This product-form distinction is not general legalization of psilocybin mushrooms and is not an approved medical treatment system.

Status in brief

What the current framework actually permits

Mushrooms

Listed hallucinogenic mushroom fruiting bodies remain prohibited. Drying, grinding, preparing, or selling them online does not remove that controlled status.

Magic truffles

Sclerotia are outside the Opium Act under the Supreme Court’s 2026 ruling and may be cultivated and traded domestically. Their status is based on product classification, not the cannabis coffee-shop tolerance policy.

Borders and medical claims

Dutch domestic availability does not decide whether export or import is lawful in another country. Truffle retail also does not create licensed psychedelic healthcare or authorize medical claims.

Boundary

Product form matters, and destination law still applies

Psilocybin and psilocin themselves remain controlled, as do the mushroom forms placed on the statutory lists. A lawful Dutch truffle sale does not make prohibited mushrooms, extracts, preparations, or cross-border delivery legal.
