If you’re a mushroom-nerd — or just a person who has been thinking about trying a plant-based diet — this is the place for you. Located in the heart of downtown Detroit, the unassuming door of Shroom Hub opens into a minimalist space that’s home to mushroom art, books and a menu of edibles. The store sells everything from hen of the woods, maitake and porcini mushrooms to mushroom coffee, shroom tea and even mushroom chocolate. URL www.shroomhub.io
In the past, psilocybin, the hallucinogenic compound found in mushrooms, was viewed as part of youth counterculture and psychedelia.

Shroom Hub’s Winnipeg location is a smaller version of the stores they opened in Ottawa and Toronto last year, and the owners are hoping to convince city officials that their business doesn’t pose any danger for the community. “I’m expecting a similar response to the one we got from the police in other cities,” Kagan said.
The store will have a police presence inside the shop to ensure it is operating safely and only selling to people over the age of 19. And there are strict limits on how much you can buy, but Kagan says they don’t expect anyone to exceed those limits.
