Buy Magic Mushroom Spores From the UK
A single mushroom spores uk can produce hundreds of thousands of spores. These are like microscopic plant seeds. They contain all the necessary genetic material to form a new fungus and are essential for its life cycle.
Different species of mushrooms all look unique, and so do their spore prints. Because of this, mycologists like to study the pattern of a print to identify its species. To produce spore syringes or vials for microscopy, they can also be suspended in a solution. Identifying mushrooms with microscopy is simple. It is also a fun hobby!
Psilocybe cubensis – A Sacred Mushroom!
For the microscopy enthusiast, we supply a range of Psilocybe Cubensis, aka ‘Magic Mushroom’ spores. They range from exotic strains like the Amazonian, Thai or Cambodian to the classic strains like Golden Teacher and B+. Mushroom spores are like pokemon, you gotta catch ’em all!
mushroom spores uk are for microscopy research purposes. This is because in the UK, cultivation of this species is prohibited. For those interested in mushroom growing, we provide gourmet mushroom cultures over at MartianMushrooms.co.uk. combine these with a growing kit for big yields of delicious fruits!
We pack millions of mushroom spores into our double density microscopy syringes and vials. Some of the spores will clump together and be visible, but most of them cannot be seen by the human eye. To see all the mushroom spores, view them under a microscope at 500x magnification. It’s magic!
At Martian Genetics, sterility of all our products is very important. Contaminated products are detrimental for mycologists and microscopy hobbyists alike. Our spore syringes and vials are produced and sterile sealed in an ISO Class 4 cleanroom. This means you will receive a product that is free from any contaminants, inside and out.
Is It Legal To Buy Magic Mushrooms Spores In The UK?
Let’s cut right to the chase. Yes, it is indeed legal to buy magic mushroom spores uk.
This fact often comes as a surprise to many, but the reason for their legal status is actually quite simple. Let us explain…
The Legal History of Magic Mushrooms in the UK
Not so long ago, it was completely legal to buy fresh (meaning unprepared or non-dried) magic mushrooms spore uk. That’s right, you used to be able to buy them at your local headshop for a few quid a go.
All over the country, stalls would be set out offering the latest and greatest strains, a tempting display for psychonaut. The industry was booming, or should we say ‘mushrooming’. What a crazy time to be alive it was!
One of the many stalls selling fresh magic mushrooms that popped up across the country prior to 2005.
However, the party poopers at downing street had different ideas. In 2005, the government’s Drugs Act 2005 came into force. The act banned the sale of magic mushrooms , whether fresh, dried, packaged or otherwise.
According to Talk to Frank:
“The 2005 Drugs Act amended the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 to clarify that both fresh and prepared (e.g. dried or stewed) magic mushrooms containing psilocin or psilocybin (such as the liberty cap) are Class A drugs. This means it’s illegal to have this type of magic mushroom for yourself, to give away or to sell.”
It would seem then that the era of legal magic mushroom is well and over. However, there are some seeds (or spores?) of hope for the mushroom enthusiast.
What About mushroom spores uk ?
Before we delve into the legality of mushroom spores in the UK, let’s touch on what a mushroom spore is. The definition is very important in this context.
A mushroom spore is the seed of a fungus. like seeds, spores contain all the genetic information needed to create the next generation of a fungus.
Magic mushroom spores do not contain any psilocin or psilocybin, the active banned compounds in magic mushrooms. These substances only become present later on in the mushroom’s life cycle, when mushrooms (the fruiting bodies of a fungus) are produced.
For a more detailed look, check out our blog on the mushroom life cycle.
The spores of magic mushrooms do not contain the banned compounds psilocin or psilocybin. The compounds are only found in the mushroom fruiting body.
Therefore, magic mushroom spores are legal to buy and sell, because they do not contain any banned compounds. However, what they become when cultivated (magic mushrooms) is most definitely illegal.
It’s all a bit of a head-scratcher and highlights the tricky, and absurd, UK drug laws. But that’s a topic for another day!
So What Can You Do With Mushroom Spores?
So, we’ve already discussed that magic mushroom spores are indeed legal in the UK. But, as with most things in life, there’s a caveat.
Under the Serious crimes act 2007, encouraging or facilitating illegal activities can lead to some very lengthy prison sentences. Facilitating the growing of magic mushrooms falls under this banner.
This means that mushroom spores uk are 100% legal, as long as you purchase, sell or trade them with the intention STRICTLY not to grow them. So remember this please! If you follow the rules, you’ll be golden.

Growing Magic Mushrooms From Spores = Illegal
That brings us to the obvious question, if you can’t grow the buggers, just what exactly are you meant to do with them?
Most vendors will supply spores as souvenirs, collectibles or for microscopy/research purposes. This is very similar to how cannabis seeds are traded legally in the UK market.
As it turns out, looking at spores under a microscope has become an incredibly popular hobby, with microscope sales surging 800% since 2005!
All together now – “for microscopy use only!”. Repeat it yourself a few times until it sinks in.
