Mushroom spores are the equivalent of seeds in the fungus world. Just like plants have seeds, the mushroom species reproduce and spread through their spores. They are small, tiny reproductive units capable of giving rise to a new fungal growth, under the right conditions. Due to their size, they are invisible to the human eye, therefore if you would like to collect them you would need specialized tools and techniques. The spore print technique is one of the most popular ways to collect spores directly from the gills or pores of the mushroom cap. Even though widely used, this technique carries a higher risk of contamination. Another way to make sure you get the highest-quality spores is to buy them from a reputable source such as FungusHead.

Yes. Psilocybin containing mushroom spores do not have any of the active compounds (psilocybin or psilocin) that are found in the fruiting bodies of some mushrooms. Therefore, they are legal to possess and study within most of the United States. Please check your local laws and regulations before purchasing.

No. Psilocybin and psilocin are active compounds that are found within the fruiting bodies of certain species of 'magic' mushrooms. Since we are only offering the spores, none of our products do not contain these compounds. Our spores are for microscopy purposes only and are not intended for cultivation or consumption. They do not contain psilocybin or psilocin.

We are not able to ship to ID or GA at this time. These two states have explicit laws against the possession, or sale, of magic mushroom spores despite the fact that we only offer these products for microscopy research purposes. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

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.

You can buy mushroom spores right here at FungusHead. If you are a beginner, take a look at our psilocybe spore syringes. Spore syringes contain mushroom spores suspended in a sterile liquid solution, typically distilled water. Spore syringes are easy to handle, distribute spores evenly, and are suitable for starting new mushroom cultures.  We offer a wide variety of mushroom strains and species, such as Golden teacher, B+ Cubensis, Blue Meanie, and Jedi Mind Fuck. If you are looking into mushroom spores for identification purposes, we have spore swabs. Spore swabs consist of sterile cotton swabs that have been rubbed on a mature mushroom cap to collect spores. Our swabs are then sealed in a sterile container, and you can use them to create spore prints, and identify mushroom species. Finally, if you are an advanced researcher, check out our latest product – liquid culture. Liquid culture is a more advanced technique that accelerates mycelium growth but requires more experience, equipment, and care to avoid contamination.
