Legal Use Policy

Every genetic we supply is a research specimen, nothing more. This policy sets out, plainly and firmly, the terms under which our products are sold and the responsibilities held by everyone who receives them.

The single condition of sale

For microscopy use only.

All spore products are supplied strictly as taxonomic and educational reference material. They are not sold for cultivation, consumption, or any other purpose.

Reference specimens Laboratory material for study under a microscope, never food, medicine, or a growing kit.
18+ only Sold exclusively to adults. Placing an order confirms you are 18 or over.
Lawful use, verified by you Check your local laws first. Legality where you live is the buyer's responsibility.
01

Microscopy use only

All products offered by MycoWorld, including spore syringes, spore swabs and spore prints, are supplied strictly for microscopy, taxonomy, research and educational purposes.

They are laboratory reference specimens intended for study under a microscope. They are not food, supplements, medicine, novel foods, or cultivation products, and they are not sold or intended for any of those uses.

02

No cultivation guidance

MycoWorld does not provide, endorse, encourage or support the cultivation of any species we list. Nothing on this website, including strain names, descriptions, lineage notes or LOT information, constitutes cultivation instructions or advice.

Our documentation exists to support identification, phenotype study and sterile handling under a microscope. It is not a growing guide, and it should not be read or used as one.

03

You must be 18 or over

Our products are sold to adults aged 18 and over only. By placing an order you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age.

We may decline or cancel any order where we have reason to believe the buyer does not meet this requirement.

04

Lawful use & buyer responsibility

By ordering, the buyer confirms that the products are legal to possess and receive for microscopy where they live, and agrees to use them for lawful microscopy, taxonomy, research and educational purposes only.

Laws differ between countries, states and regions. Some jurisdictions restrict or prohibit certain spores. It is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify that they may lawfully order, receive and hold a given product before purchasing.

  • Check your local, regional and national laws before you order.
  • Do not order a product that is restricted where you live.
  • Use every product for microscopy and study only, never for cultivation or consumption.
05

Acceptance of this policy

Placing an order with MycoWorld confirms that you have read, understood and accepted this Legal Use Policy in full, including the microscopy-only condition, the age requirement and your responsibility to ensure lawful use.

If you do not agree to these terms, please do not place an order.
