Mushroom spore swabs are a dry, compact format where spores are collected onto a sterile swab tip and sealed for research handling. They are commonly used for microscopy, taxonomy, and educational mycology workflows where cultivation is not permitted.
At SporeBuddies, our spore swabs are prepared using clean handling techniques and dispatched discreetly from the UK. This page contains our spore swab product listings below, plus a short reference overview to help researchers understand how swabs fit into microscopy workflows.
Reference Summary: Magic Mushroom Spore Swabs
Magic mushroom spore swabs are dry research specimens where microscopic spores are collected onto a sterile swab tip and sealed for handling.
They are commonly used for microscopy, taxonomy, and educational mycology because the format is compact, dry, and convenient to store.
Spore swabs support microscopy workflows by allowing a small spore sample to be transferred to a slide or other research surface using appropriate sterile technique.
Spore swabs do not contain active compounds and are supplied for research and educational purposes only, where cultivation is not permitted.
Spore swabs are often preferred by researchers who want a dry, compact format that stores well and is easy to catalogue. Typical research advantages include:

Spore swabs are prepared by collecting spores onto a sterile swab tip and sealing the specimen for research handling. The dry format makes swabs convenient for storage and cataloguing, and the controlled surface area can be useful when transferring small samples for microscopy workflows.
When examined microscopically, spore swab samples can be used to observe:
Spore swabs supplied by SporeBuddies are provided for microscopy, taxonomy, and lawful research purposes only, where cultivation is not permitted. Customers are responsible for understanding and complying with local regulations and intended use.
Spore swabs are commonly used for microscopy, taxonomy, and educational mycology. The compact dry format is convenient for storage and controlled sample transfer.
Spore swabs 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 swabs are prepared and sealed using clean handling techniques to protect specimen quality. For microscopy work, always use sterile tools and a clean workspace.
When stored cool, dark, and dry in sealed packaging, spore swabs can remain stable for long periods as reference specimens.
Swabs are compact dry specimens suited to controlled transfer. Prints are dry deposits on foil suited to long-term reference. Syringes contain spores suspended in sterile solution and are often chosen for convenience in microscopy slide preparation.
Store sealed in a cool, dark, dry place. Avoid moisture, heat, and unnecessary handling of the swab tip.
