Legality of Mushroom Spores

First, it’s important to note that Federal law in the United States does not explicitly address psilocybin mushroom spores. While psilocybin and psilocin—the active compounds found in psychedelic mushrooms—are classified as Schedule I substances under Federal law, the mushrooms themselves are not. Psilocybin Cubensis mushroom spores do not contain psilocybin or psilocin, making them legal under federal law and in most US states. This allows us to sell and ship mushroom spore syringes throughout the United States and Canada, except in states or regions with specific regulations concerning the sale, distribution, or transportation of psilocybin mushroom spores.

• • Idaho & Georgia: Idaho and Georgia both have adopted laws that specifically ban the transport and sale of psilocybin mushrooms. Therefore, we are unable to ship or sell to Idaho or Georgia. Customers from these states will not be able to purchase anything on our website. If a customer who resides in either of these states would like to purchase any edible liquid culture syringe, please email us.
• • California: California has a law that mentions spores, however, it is not illegal to possess mushroom spores specifically.  Also in California law, there is a law stating that it is illegal for women to drive vehicles while wearing a housecoat, a law stating that walking an elephant down Market Street in San Francisco is illegal, unless the elephant is on a leash and finally, a California law that states homeowners who have Christmas lights on their houses past February 2 may be subject to a fine of up to $250. Any many, many more … 🙂

Decriminalization Psilocybin Movement: Mushroom Spore Laws

In May 2019, Denver residents voting on Ordinance 301 declared that “the adult possession and use of psilocybin mushrooms” would become the city’s lowest law enforcement priority, further prohibiting the city from spending resources on penalizing shroom use.  Oakland, California followed suit a month later. In 2020, Oregon voted to legalize magic mushrooms! Many activist groups in the United States have moved to implement decriminalization of personal use, possession, or cultivation of naturally-occurring psychedelics like psilocybin mushrooms and ayahuasca in many cities and states.

As of 2024, there have been four cities in the state of Michigan, five cities in California, three in Washington, four in Massachusetts and one city in Maine that have all decriminalized psychedelics.

In the spring of 2024, Missouri enacted Senate Bill 768, which legalizes psilocybin therapy for veterans aged 21 and older who are dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder, substance use disorders, or who need end-of-life care.

Surveys have shown that over 60% of all registered voters in the U.S. support decriminalization of psychedelics.  For more information on and to help support efforts to decriminalize psychedelics, we recommend checking out the excellent organization, Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (aka MAPS).
