| Are psilocybe spores illegal in my area? |
| Psilocybe spores including syringes and prints are legal to posses and distribute in all of the United States except California, Georgia and Idaho. Psilocybe spores including syringes and prints are legal to posses and distribute in Canada, The United Kingdom and most of Europe. If you are an international customer from a country which we have not listed here, you may want to check on your government websites and verify if it is legal for you to posses said spores. We do not ship psilocybe spore syringes and prints to any region we know them to be illegal so please do not ask. If you try and place an order despite this, we will cancel your order and block your IP from viewing our sites. |

| What will my package look like? Is it discreet? |
| We take pride in upholding the anonymity of our customers. We ship in plain bubble envelopes or brown/white boxes with the return address of “Innersight Trading” our parent corporation displayed. There is no mention of www.spores101.com or spores or mushrooms on the package so there is no need to worry about the contents being noticed. We also have a very strict privacy policy in place to protect our customers, if you have any questions on this matter please use the contact form anytime and we will be happy to alleviate your concern. |
|
|
| It is extremely hot / cold where I live, will affect the quality of my package? |
| This is a very reasonable and important concern. A spore or culture sample sitting in a hot mailbox can destroy the delicate contents, and make it un-viable. On the other hand cold temperatures can affect the actual syringe mechanics and cause leakage, thus leaving the contents to possible contamination. We recommend having your syringes shipped to a PO BOX or some other mail outlet building to be sure that a your shipment is exposed to a reasonable temperature during storage and shipping. Please note this is only when exposed to EXTREME conditions of hot or cold, in most cases your package will arrive in perfect condition, this if for times of heat wave or cold storms, or if you live in the arctic / desert. |

|
| What is the best way to store my product after arrival? |
A cool, dry and clean area is always best. The distilled water inside of our spore syringes is one of the best storage methods because the spores can stay hydrated while they are dormant, prints on the other hand must be re hydrated before they can be studied properly. Please note however that our products are only guaranteed for 30 days after purchase as we cannot be sure of how our customers are storing there samples. Syringe products are meant to be used very soon after purchase as they are more successful when fresh, but products like spore prints can be kept for longer periods of time.

|
| My package has not arrived and its been a very long time, what should I do? |
| If your order has not arrived within 7-10 days after shipping then there is most likely a problem. We strive to have all order shipped within 24 -48 hours after processing, unless it is a weekend. Please contact us immediately so we can confirm the address is correct and to check if your shipment might have been returned.

|
|
| What is the best strain for beginners to study? |
| This is a question we cannot answer. It really depends on your level of experience, timeframe, budget and what equipment you have available. The best thing to do if your curious about the topic is to do more research. Try reading up at a mycology forum like www.shroomtalk.com or www.shroomery.org to see what others have had success with. |
|
|
| Do you have actual mushrooms for sale? |
Absolutely not. Sorry but Spores101.com does not actually stock or retail any fruited mushroom species. We only provide spores in syringe or print, and edible strains in liquid culture. |
|
|
| What size are the spore syringes? |
| All syringes are BD brand syringes sized 10ML with 18 gauge and 1.5 inch size needles. |
