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 sold for legal research purposes only.

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.

Online terminology around mushroom spores is often confusing.
Many people searching for magic mushroom spore prints are not familiar with the correct scientific or research-based terms, and may use language they’ve encountered elsewhere online. As a result, searches often mix recreational phrasing with legitimate microscopy and research intent.
This category is optimised to help users find the correct spore format for lawful study while providing clear, accurate information.
Spore prints are ideal for:
Researchers building a reference library
Long-term microscopy projects
Comparative strain studies
Those who prefer a dry, stable spore format over liquid alternatives
All mushroom spore prints supplied by SporeBuddies are psilocybin-free and provided strictly for microscopy, taxonomy, and lawful research purposes.
When examined microscopically, spore prints allow researchers to compare:
Spore size and shape
Pigmentation and colour density
Clustering and distribution patterns
Spore wall thickness
Strain-specific morphological characteristics
Because spore prints contain millions of spores from a single specimen, they are particularly useful for long-term comparative study and archival reference.
Our spore prints are prepared with microscopy and long-term study in mind, offering a reliable foundation for observation, archiving, and comparative research.
Our spore prints stand out for:
✔ Dense, clearly defined spore deposits for detailed microscopic examination
✔ Collected in controlled environments using sterile handling procedures
✔ Printed on sterile foil for durability, visibility, and long-term preservation
✔ High genetic diversity — millions of spores per print for research flexibility
✔ Dry, stable format ideal for archival storage and repeat study
✔ Secure, discreet UK shipping with protective packaging
Spore prints are especially suited to researchers who value longevity, stability, and genetic breadth in their microscopy samples.
We also offer complementary microscopy formats depending on your research needs:
🔗 Spore Syringes – liquid format for convenient slide preparation
🔗 Spore Swabs – compact, controlled sampling for targeted study
Each format serves a different purpose, allowing you to choose the method best suited to your research workflow.

How to Prepare a Spore Print for Microscopy
Clean slide and cover slip, low-airflow area, gloves recommended.
Open the sterile foil only when ready and avoid touching the spore surface.
Using a sterile tool, collect a tiny amount of spores — density is very high.
Place spores on the slide, add a drop of sterile liquid, gently lower cover slip.
Start at low magnification, then increase to study shape, size, colour and structure.
Reseal immediately and store cool, dark and dry for long-term preservation.
Spore prints from SporeBuddies are psilocybin-free, legal in the UK, and supplied strictly for microscopy and research purposes only.
Browse our collection of premium Psilocybe cubensis spore prints, ideal for microscopy, archival study, and long-term genetic preservation. Each print displays unique spore patterns and characteristics for detailed research.

Compare Density, Pattern & Microscopy Detail
Each Psilocybe spore print offers a slightly different microscopy experience. Variations in spore density, pigmentation, and distribution patterns allow researchers to compare characteristics across strains.
Use this comparison to choose the spore print that best suits your research focus, experience level, and the type of microscopic features you wish to examine.
All spore prints in this category are prepared using the same careful handling standards. The choice comes down to spore density, visual contrast, and the morphological detail you want to study under magnification.
✔ Dense spore deposit on sterile foil for clear microscopic observation
✔ Clearly labelled strain name for accurate reference and cataloguing
✔ Prepared using clean handling techniques in controlled environments
✔ Dry, stable format suitable for long-term storage and archival study
✔ Protective, discreet packaging to preserve print integrity in transit
✔ Microscopy reference information for research context
✔ UK-based customer support for orders and general enquiries
All spore prints are supplied psilocybin-free and intended strictly for microscopy, taxonomy, and lawful research purposes.

Mushroom spore prints are commonly used for microscopy, taxonomy, and long-term mycological study. They preserve spore characteristics in a stable format suitable for repeated observation.
Yes. Mushroom spores do not contain psilocybin and are legal to possess in the UK when supplied for microscopy and lawful research purposes.
Spore prints cannot be guaranteed 100% sterile due to the open-air nature of spore release. However, these are the same high-quality prints we use to make our spore syringesd and are prepared using clean handling techniques to minimise contaminants.
When stored sealed in a cool, dry, dark environment, spore prints can remain suitable for study for many years.
Spore prints are a dry, archival format, while spore syringes contain spores suspended in sterile solution for convenient microscopy workflows.
Store spore prints sealed and protected from heat, moisture, and light to preserve quality.
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.
