Mushroom spore prints are a preserved format of fungal spores collected from mature caps and stored on sterile surfaces. They are commonly used for microscopy, taxonomy, and long-term mycological study.
At SporeBuddies, our spore prints are prepared using clean handling techniques and dispatched discreetly from the UK. This format is ideal for researchers seeking long-term storage, traditional microscopy workflows, or archival reference material. Spore prints are supplied for research purposes only, where cultivation is not permitted.
Reference Summary: Magic Mushroom Spore Prints
Magic mushroom spore prints are dry spore deposits collected from mature mushroom caps onto sterile foil or other sterile surfaces.
They are commonly used for microscopy, taxonomy, and long-term reference collections because the dry format is stable and stores well.
Under microscopy, spore prints support observation of spore size, shape, pigmentation, clustering patterns, and other identifying characteristics.
Spore prints do not contain active compounds and are supplied for research and educational purposes only, where cultivation is not permitted.
Our spore prints are prepared with microscopy and long-term study in mind, offering a reliable foundation for observation, archiving, and comparative research.

Spore prints are created by allowing a mature mushroom cap to release spores onto a sterile surface. Once collected, the spores form a visible print that preserves the mushroom’s spore characteristics. Compared to liquid formats, spore prints offer excellent longevity and stability, making them suitable for extended storage and repeated microscopic examination.
When examined microscopically, spore prints allow researchers to compare:

Spore prints are commonly used for microscopy, taxonomy, comparative study, and long-term reference storage because the dry format is stable and can be revisited over time.
Spore prints are commonly supplied in the UK for research and educational microscopy purposes. Laws can vary by region and may change over time, so customers are responsible for ensuring compliance with local regulations and intended use.
Spore prints are collected and packaged using clean handling techniques to protect print quality. For research handling, always use appropriate sterile tools and a clean workspace.
When stored cool, dark, and dry in sealed packaging, spore prints can remain stable for long periods, making them useful for long-term reference collections and repeat microscopy.
Spore prints are dry specimens suited to long-term storage and reference study. Spore syringes contain spores suspended in sterile solution and are commonly chosen for convenient microscopy slide preparation.
Store spore prints sealed in their packaging, in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid moisture, heat, and repeated handling of the spore surface.
Explore our full range of mushroom spore prints, compare different strains and spore characteristics, and choose the option that best suits your microscopy or research focus. If you’d like help understanding the differences between formats or strains, our UK-based team is always happy to help.
