Magic mushroom spores for microscopy, plus grow kits and cultivation supplies - Cylocybe, UK
Lab-grade Psilocybe spores for microscopy and research, pulled under ISO4 laminar flow.
News
17th Aug Price changes, and more on the way.
We've dropped our prices. Every Cubensis spore syringe is cheaper, and grow kits too:
- 1ml syringe £3 (down from £5)
- 3ml syringe £6 (down from £8)
- 12ml syringe £12 (down from £16)
- MycoBox grow kit £28 (down from £38)
- MonoBox grow kit £32 (down from £45)
These newer, lower prices are temporary.
New: for the first time, we now offer a 12 week EZ-Warranty on grow kits, which you can add at checkout for £10 on a MycoBox and £13 on a MonoBox if you want.
Notice we also dropped the prices of grow kits by about the same, so essentially we now cover 12 week free replacements (in the unlikely event something goes wrong with a kit). You were already covered for issues being our fault, but now we offer warranty that covers you guys being at fault too.
It also felt fair to backdate this to cover all customers who've paid the old price for kits over the past 12 weeks.
Why have we added this? Because it feels human.
How do you replace a kit? Head to the replacement portal, select the problem kit in your order, and it drops into your basket for £0.
Are we always going to have this available? If it goes over a certain threshold we have, then we'll maybe have to reconsider it.
How EZ-Warranty works, in full →
We also have a couple of promos going right now on Tidal Wave and TEX PE6 (max two per order until stocks run out) as we're getting new spore stock this week.
There are still lots of products out of stock right now as well as incomplete (or badly worded) pages... we're getting there. Admittedly, we've had to use quite a bit of AI to write the copy on quite a few pages, so the main plan is to get all that stripped out before our September deadline we've set ourselves. AI written slop doesn't belong on Cylocybe, our bad grammar is at least human.
We're about to launch a couple more grow kits as well as an improved CyLab and other useful grow equipment.
Stay tuned!

Our Selection
Our house pick of Psilocybe cubensis: a dependable, classic-looking cube chosen for clean, heavy spore drops rather than a famous backstory. A curator's choice labelled.
Price range: £3.00 through £20.00
Psilocybe cubensis
A+ Albino
The ghost-white cube that fooled its own name: a pale, blue-bruising leucistic line that still drops a proper dark purple print, so it studies like a classic A-strain and photographs like nothing else.
Price range: £3.00 through £20.00
Out of stock
Psilocybe cubensis
Amazonian
A big, old-school rainforest line carried out of the Amazon by a long-gone Hawaiian spore house. Tall fruitbodies and a dark, heavy, dependable purple-brown print made for the microscope.

Beyond cubensis:
the rare list.
Wood-lovers, Panaeolus and the UK's own liberty cap: a shortlist for the serious collection, in syringes, spore swabs and foil prints, with formats varying by species.

“The guides are very well made and the grow kits are made so that you actually understand each stage of the growing process and learn how mycelium actually works. It can take you from 0 to an experienced and knowledgeable grower.”

Frequently asked questions
Spore and grow-kit basics.
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.
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.
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.
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 on tracked Royal Mail, 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.
Yes. Plain packaging, no branding, no give-away of contents. Tracked Royal Mail UK-wide.
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.
We guarantee our spores are viable and clean for microscopy purposes. If you see anything unexpected, contact us within 6 weeks of dispatch with your order number and we'll replace the syringe.
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.
