Archival-Grade Psilocybe Cubensis Spore Prints on Foil
For the dedicated mycologist, our Psilocybe cubensis spore prints are the classic and most direct method of preserving fungal genetics. Because we believe this timeless approach deserves the utmost honesty, you’re not just getting spores; you’re acquiring a piece of mycological history. Ultimately, our goal is to provide authentic genetics in their purest form, empowering the educated researcher who is our most valued customer.
What are Psilocybe Cubensis Spore Prints? A spore print is the mushroom’s unique fingerprint. It’s created by placing a mature mushroom cap on a sterile surface (in our case, heavy-duty foil) and allowing it to release millions of spores. Indeed, this dense deposit is a concentrated library of genetic potential. In short, it is perfect for long-term storage and detailed microscopic study.
What’s In Your Psilocybe Spore Print Kit?
- A Dense, Viable Spore Print: A generous, dark deposit of spores on sterile, heavy-duty aluminium foil, individually sealed in a sterile bag.
- An Isopropyl Alcohol Pad: To ensure your workspace, slides, and tools are properly clean before you begin your research.
The Truth About Our Psilocybe Cubensis Spore Prints
The Common Myth: “A spore print is a sterile sample.”
The Reality: Creating a spore print involves exposing a mushroom cap to the air. This happens even within the ultra-clean environment of our laboratory’s HEPA units. While this process is meticulously controlled, no open-air biological sample can be guaranteed as free from contaminants. That is a scientific impossibility.
For this reason, our focus is on an honest, professional standard. Our suppliers use a cleanroom process for both growing and printing. Consequently, this ensures the ratio of spores to any microbes is astronomically high. This gives you a pure, clear view for your research. It’s the practical and truthful foundation of reliable microscopy.
Furthermore, it’s also crucial to remember the nature of spores. They represent a genetic lottery. Each spore is a unique individual, not a perfect clone of its parent. This genetic diversity is what allows for discovery and observation of subtle variations and new ‘strains’.
The only way to guarantee identical traits is through cloning (live tissue culture), which is an illegal act of cultivation that no legitimate vendor can or will offer.
Our Guarantee for Psilocybe Cubensis Spore Prints
We are confident in our laboratory process and the quality of our prints. Therefore, our guarantee is simple and focuses on two key promises.
Firstly, your spore print will be dense (some prints may be big, some may be small) and clean enough for a clear microscopy experience. Secondly, the genetics are 100% authentic to the strain’s name. If you’re not happy for any reason, just contact us within 4 weeks. We will put it right.
Scientific Classification of these Spore Prints
While their genetics give rise to different mushroom forms, all strains share this classification:
- Kingdom: Fungi
- Division: Basidiomycota
- Class: Agaricomycetes
- Order: Agaricales
- Family: Hymenogastraceae
- Genus: Psilocybe
- Species: P. cubensis
How to Store Your Psilocybe Cubensis Spore Prints
- Cool and Dry is Key: Store the print in its sealed bag in a cool, dark, and dry place. A desk drawer is fine for many years.
- Refrigeration is Best: For even longer-term viability, placing the sealed bag inside a container in the fridge works.
- Keep it Sealed: Do not open the sterile bag containing the foil print until you are ready to begin your research.
- A Serious Note on Legal Use: These are for research and taxonomy only. Cultivating them into mycelium has legal implications. Please respect all local laws.
A Curator’s Choice for Genetic Preservation
A spore print is more than a research tool; it’s an archival record. By studying these dense spore deposits, you engage with mycology in its most traditional form. As a result, you learn to handle and observe spores in their natural, clustered state. You can then master a different set of microscopic techniques.
Moreover, collecting prints allows you to build a true genetic library. This preserves the heritage of each unique strain for the future. So, start your archival collection with high-quality Psilocybe cubensis spore prints. Choose a supplier that honours science, facts, and your passion.

Quality prints.
Delivered very quickly and well packed. Haven’t got round to working with the spores yet, but I’m expecting great things đŸ™‚
Top quality
Will be using these guys again.
