News · Monday 24th Aug

We are reordering our week schedule in the run-up to the busiest time of the year for us (September onwards). We will no longer dispatch on Mondays and Tuesdays, as these days will now be for producing stock (like grow kits, supplies, spores). This will allow us to be faster at building up larger stocks to cope with demand - it’s way more efficient. This means we will only be dispatching on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. This starts next week, on Monday 31st August.

Microscopy Spores

Psilocybe cubensis spores.

We're all here for the same thing, to check these out under the microscope!

Every spore syringe is made clean with a state of the art ISO4 (better than ISO5) laminar flow hood and with sterile technique developed over 20 years.

And every Psilocybe cubensis is available in 12ml, 3ml and 1ml spore syringes, 12ml vials, spore swabs and foil spore prints.

Our microscopy spores are sold for legal microscopy research only. Our grow kits are strictly for culinary or medicinal cultivation. Never mix the two together.

Spores

How spore syringes are produced and prepared.

From our flowhood

Preparing your syringes as clean as we possibly can.

To get an idea of the attention to detail which earned us the respect for actual quality, not the saying 'quality' and not really meaning it, well, it's about investing in the best equipment we can afford and having OCD levels of attention, it's where some of those traits like OCD or the hyperfocus ADHD gives you become your super powers! It's impossible to teach that, you have to want to provide the best for the customers who pay you hard-earned money:

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 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).

Exotics & rare species

Rare & exotic magic mushroom spores.

We also carry many more species for the serious microscopy connoisseur, like Pan. cyanescens (MIB and TTBVI), Psilocybe azurescens (the flying saucer), Psilocybe cyanescens (the wavy cap), sclerotia / truffle spores like Psilocybe mexicana and P. tampanensis, and much more.

Please bear in mind that many of our exotic species are wild-foraged and printed, and so could have the odd hitchhiker, unlike our P. cubensis, which are legally lab-cultivated and printed for ultimate cleanliness.

Sterile and injectable

Mushroom grow kits,
made easy.

At Cylocybe, our mission (as corny as it sounds) is to make mushroom growing as common as house plants!

Nervous newbie? Don't be... Growing mushrooms is EASY. Our mushroom growing kits come with grow guides, plus we're here to help if you get confused about anything - just ask us.

As well as growing mighty mushrooms with success, you'll be fascinated with every step of the journey. From watching the mycelium take over the mushroom spawn, then into the substrate, to the tiny pinheads that form into big mushrooms, to the caps which stretch open to rain down spores... The full life cycle, from spore to spore. If that doesn't get you excited, you've picked the wrong hobby!

Replacement cover, explained

EZ-Replace™

EZ-Replace™ is by far, the most generous thing we've ever brought to Cylocybe. Even more so than doing away with BS spore prices. Read below to see what we mean by that.

Spore syringes and vials from £2 · 6 weeks

We already cover spore syringes for up to 4 weeks, but this requires you to explain what the issue is and will always be at our discretion whether we replace or not. EZ-Replace™ guarantees an easy replacement for up to 6 weeks, with no questions asked and a self-management portal to let you add the replacement straight to your basket.

Grow kits for gourmet from £3 · 12 weeks

Without EZ-Replace™, a grow kit is covered before it has been used. Once you have started it we may still replace the main sterile component, but we will need photographs and it is always at our discretion. EZ-Replace™ guarantees an easy replacement for up to 12 weeks, used or not, with no questions asked and the same self-management portal.

We built this to be human. If you need a replacement, or if shit's tight, just take one.

SporeKit grain spore testing kit jar

SporeKit™ Testing Kit

Test your gourmet mushroom spores
before risking your grow.

Gourmet spore syringe producers can't test every syringe they sell. If they claim otherwise, they're full of it. A few pounds for a SporeKit gives you the means to verify your own gourmet mushroom spores before risking your substrate.

Choose between Grain (for syringes) or Agar (for swabs). And here's the clever bit: successful tests double as live culture syringes. The mycelium that grows out from a clean test can be injected directly into a grow kit which we demonstrate in the photos below.

Perfect your sterile technique and grow cleaner flushes.

I was blown away by extra snack bars in the box it hasn’t been 5 seconds and I’m chewing on it, the rest of the day was legendary due to that occurrence. But don’t expect it, it won’t be a surprise then. And after all maybe Its for higher value orders or I’m just special, but overall its a value packed easy peasy to understand package I love these people behind all this. It’s the easiest thing i could have gotten, life is easy.

I bought, I grew, I harvested, and I consumed. I waited for all four before leaving a review. I am a first time grower, hence I even dehydrated my culinary mushrooms on my radiator. I ended up with about 28 grams of culinary mushrooms after drying, and that was after throwing my brick out after 3 flushes, even though it could have handled at least one more - mainly because the mycelium was looking tired. My fault, I'm only new. Very happy with product. Better than I expected. Start to end-of-third-flush took 2.5 months.

Well packaged, and with absolutely no signs of contamination when viewed under a microscope. I imagine that if a hardened criminal were to cultivate them, by now the spores would be busily colonizing a spawning substrate with pure white mycelium.

Frequently asked questions

Spore and grow-kit basics.

Are your spore products legal to buy?

Yes. In the UK it is legal to possess and sell Psilocybe mushroom spores for the purpose of microscopy and collection, because the spores themselves contain no psilocybin or psilocin. Germinating and cultivating them is illegal and not what we sell them for. All our magic-species products are sold strictly for research, microscopy, and collection.

What's the difference between spore syringes and liquid culture?

A spore syringe contains dormant spores in sterile water, intended for microscopy. A liquid culture contains live, actively growing mycelium in a nutrient broth, used for cultivating legal gourmet species and giving you faster, more reliable colonisation than starting from spore.

What does ISO4 actually mean?

It's the cleanliness classification of our laminar flow hood. ISO4 is one tier stricter than ISO5, with fewer than 10,000 particles ≥0.1 µm per cubic metre of air. Every syringe is pulled under that hood, every time.

How long does shipping take?

It comes in two parts: how quickly we dispatch, then how long the courier takes. Dispatch time varies by product and is shown on each product page (spores go out faster than made-to-order grow kits). Once dispatched, most UK orders arrive within 1-3 working days of dispatch depending on whether you pick Express or Economy, and worldwide delivery is typically 5-15 working days depending on the service you pick. Your exact dispatch date and delivery estimate are shown at checkout for your address before you pay.

Is shipping discreet?

Yes. Plain packaging, no branding, no give-away of contents.

What's the difference between MonoBox™ and MycoBox?

MonoBox™ is the simple all-in-one (just inject and wait), our customer favourite. MycoBox is the original injectable design we pioneered. MycMonster™ XL is the brand-new oversized variant for big yields. All three accept the same syringes.

Why do we always use ™ for product names?

Since we started in 2017, we've been copied rotten. When I say that, I mean it. From entire clones of our site, our copy, Ruth's illustration style, our killer innovations like glueless injection ported lids (yep, us!), my CVG+Coffee (aka Cylocybe Special grow kits), the components of a new gen commercial sterile grow kit (inc. perlite - us, inc. sterile gloves - us, inc - chlorhexidine wipes - us, inc. SacO2 bags as a fruiting tent - us) You get the idea. Our product copy, our HTML code (as well as the hilarious bug I couldn't fix on it). The only vendor to ever ask our permission to use a product idea was MushBuddies. The Morel of the story - if we put TM on a name, it's just a sign to the competitors who watch our site more than we watch theirs to give us a break. Sorry, that turned into a bit of a rant.

What if my spores look wrong under the microscope?

Optional cover you add in the basket. If a covered item lets you down, a like-for-like replacement drops into your basket for £0, no questions asked. We may still allow some replacements regardless, but this will be judged on a case-by-case.

What if you don't stock the strain I want?

If there are any magic spores we don't have, let us know and we'll put an order in. Our catalogue is driven by what customers actually ask for. Drop a request and we'll source it.
