Where to get your spores

We supply almost everything else in the mushroom world except the spores. Spore vendors are the experts in producing spore syringes, which are essential for our kits. Each half pint jar in our kits requires slightly less than 1cc of spore solution, while each spawn bag and large grain jars needs between 3-5 cc. Most spore syringes are sold in 10cc quantities, making a single syringe sufficient for around 12 substrate jars, 2 spawn bags or 3 of the large grain jars. 

There are many online sources for spores, ranging widely in quality and reliability. Over the years, we've gathered extensive customer feedback on these vendors and are happy to share our insights. Our top recommended spore sources shift periodically based on customer reviews.

Want to learn more about spores and vendors? Check out our 2024 Spore Buying Guide on our blog for up-to-date advice on where to purchase. For trusted options, we recommend sites like Premium Spores and Spore Genetics. Both are established providers known for their quality and selection. Spore Genetics, in particular, offers an impressive range of high-quality syringes, often featuring rare varieties that change seasonally. Mentioning our referral may even get you bonus items!
