Please reach us at info@sporedoctors.com
Yes, Spore Doctors' liquid culture syringes are legal in most US states. However, they are illegal in Georgia and Idaho because the formulation suspends the mycelium and prevents the production of psilocin and psilocybin, controlled substances in those states. These cultures are intended for microscopy purposes only.
Microscopy allows you to observe the fascinating morphology (shape and structure) of cubensis spores, including their intricate details.

Liquid cultures are already colonized, eliminating the need for germination processes required with spores. This can be easier for beginners in microscopy. Additionally, liquid cultures offer a larger sample for observation under a microscope.
Liquid cultures typically have a shorter shelf life than spores. We recommend using them within 3-6 months of receipt for optimal viability. Proper storage in a refrigerator can help extend their lifespan.
A basic compound microscope with 400x magnification is sufficient for observing the general features of cubensis spores and mycelium. For more detailed observations, higher magnification may be desired.
We cannot answer questions related to cultivation, as the legality of growing psilocybin mushrooms varies by location. Our spores are intended for microscopy research only.
Spore germination success depends on various factors like storage conditions, microscopy techniques, and slide preparation. If you encounter germination difficulties, ensure you're following proper microscopy practices. There are also online resources and communities dedicated to microscopy techniques you can explore.
