The microscopic, reproductive units of psilocybin mushrooms are called spores. Spores are haploid cells that unite to form a diploid cell. When these spores are grown in an environment where they have access to nutrients and moisture, they will germinate into mycelial (mushroom) tissue. The mycelial tissue then produces and expels the spores, beginning the process anew.

Since magic mushroom spores contain no active ingredients, and therefore no psilocin or psilocybin, they can be sold and shipped to most states within the United States. The states that still disallow the sale of psilocybin spores are California, Georgia, and Idaho.

Microscopy, simply put, is the magnified observation of a very small object. This is achieved through the use of a microscope and can be used to view cells, bacteria, or spores such as magic mushroom spores.

The cultivation of magic mushroom spores is illegal in nearly every state. The spores offered on our site are intended for microscopy and taxonomy purposes ONLY. We do NOT promote the act of cultivating your own magic mushrooms.

Mushroom spores are very resilient. We recommend putting them in a refrigerator, or somewhere cool and dry. If you don’t use the spores within 30 days, which is general best practice, it isn’t a problem. Some mycologists have reported observing viable spores from syringes that had been refrigerated for an entire year.

All orders are typically shipped the next day, and can be expected to arrive anywhere between 5-7 business days from purchase.
