Cylocybe isn’t a normal shop, so what’s the point in pretending it is? The products we sell are like walking a tightrope. It plays on your mind, kinda drives you a wee bit insane if you let it. We take the risk so you can go on life journeys with microscopy, and in return, we get to have some nice things for taking on that burden.

We’re humans with empathy!

Recently, I wrote a blog post in which I made a passing mention of starving children in Gaza… Guess what happened to our place in Google Search? It knocked us down to 38th position, i.e., no one will ever find us unless they search for ‘Cylocybe’. For a spore vendor that spent most of the last seven years at No. 1, it’s a bad place to be!

It’s a moral test. Do we remove the mention of starving children to get to a better position and more customers, or do we tell Google where to go and be truer to ourselves?..

We deleted their cookie code from the site, so your browser will still get that cookie from virtually every other website, but not from ours, at least.

We need to have a voice at Cylocybe. It’s hard enough doing this job as it is, but we’ve always felt proud of what this shop brings people and it’s the nice messages we get from customers that drives us to keep going. If you want to know your mushroom spores come from people that would help you up if you fell over, now you know.
