Magic Mushroom Spores

If you are just starting out with microscopy spores, check out Psilocybe cubensis.

Psilocybe cubensis

This is the species everyone talks about. And for beginner microscopists, this is the one you'll care about the most. Please note: we don't sell these to be cultivated as that would be illegal, we sell them for you to look at through the microscope.

Our ISO4 Flowhood

How spore syringes are produced and prepared

After our syringes are filled with spore solution, they are immediately passed over to a second expert responsible for screwing on the sterile syringe caps, all whilst sitting in front of our ISO4 HFLT1800 laminar flow hood (10 times finer filtration than the industry standard ISO5).

The capped spore syringes are then quickly sealed in ziplock bags.

Once we finish filling and capping the spore syringes, we clean the stainless steel workspace. Then, one by one, we take each spore syringe and pack it into a laminar-foil, light-blocking bag. We never label within the lab because dirty, sticky labels don't mix well with latex-gloved hands and sitting a printer in front of a laminar flowhood would call for some life choice evaluation!

This all means the syringe itself will never be labelled, keeping it super clean. When the time comes to remove it from the foil bag, you won't cross-contaminate your workspace by handling a syringe with a dirty trich-ridden exterior.

Our labelling is performed on the laminar-foil bag after we exit the laminar flow hood and lab and we strictly only use labels made from polypropylene so YOU can safely wipe the whole thing down with isopropyl alcohol before taking it into your SAB for that extra caution.

Our entire production process for spore syringes is carefully thought out and designed for the customer's benefit, not our own (and yet, our prices are still amongst the lowest in the UK).

Preparing a Cylocybe syringe for your microscopy slides

Our syringes are fitted with professional tamper-evident luer-locking syringe caps which you may not have seen before. We use these so you know no-one has tampered with them between our lab and your hands.

We took this picture of Golden Teacher spores - amazing to think that every single spore has its own unique genetics, like no two snowflakes are the same!
