Summer Weather and Heat Damage to Spores: Summer heat is very hard on spores and can kill or damage them if left in a hot mail box or car to long. Inside a mail box out in the sun can easily reach 130F in some climates. If you live in a hot climate, be sure and bring the spores indoors as soon as delivered. A PO BOX can be opened for only $7 per month. General Delivery to your local post office is another option. We can not monitor weather all over the USA, so its' the customers responsibility to order spores when the temperature in your area is not to hot. If temperatures are above 100F you really should not leave them outdoors in a mail box.
Winter Weather Warning and Freezing Spores:
Spore syringes should not be frozen solid. This can kill or damage the spores. Remember water freezes at 32F. A sign of weather damaged spores is spores that shows no signs of life under a microscope. I can not monitor the weather all over the USA It's the customers responsibility to order spores when the weather is warm enough in their area. You must think of the travel from the nearest major airport to your city. We do offer Priority mail and Express mail with a 3 day warmer. Since most Priority mails are delivered in 2 to 3 days, these warmers will keep the package warm. Important to remember to not let them sit outside in your mailbox long if below freezing. Although we did some tests and the warmer did keep the syringes from freezing when left outside overnight on the porch and mailbox. These warmers cost me about $2 each, plus extra shipping time, but they work great. You will see the warmers at the bottom of the spore selection page. IF you live in a freezing cold area and don't select the warmers option at checkout, then your taking a risk of your spores getting frozen. I live in a warm climate so I'm not snowed in here. :) I usually ship on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays except on holidays.
I will not replace weather damaged (frozen) syringes for free. I do offer very cheap replacements or even free with a new order, but again it's your responsibility to order spores when the temperature is warm enough in your area, or select the shipping with warmers at checkout. With that said, I still only lose a few orders each winter to freezing even though hundreds of them are shipped into very cold locations.
The test we did with the 3 day warmers had great results. Delivered on the 2nd day in 19F weather. The spores and warmer were laser temped upon delivery and the warmer was 63F an syringes 53F. The packages were left outdoors all night in much colder weather of around 5F, and they did not freeze solid as the warmers kept them warm enough to prevent freezing. So if you can't be there when delivered, the warmers will keep them warm until you get home.
How long do spores stay alive?: I get this question a lot and there is no exact science to it. I give my customers a 90 day guarantee. Most vendors are only 30 or less.
I've had one customer tell me spore syringes stayed good for 5 years, and others tell me a couple years, yet sometimes I hear they are no good after 6 months. Storing spore syringes in air tight containers in the fridge can greatly prolong their life. Spore PRINTS should only be stored in the fridge IF they are sealed from moisture, such as vacuum sealed.

Disclaimer: Psilocybe mushroom spores do not contain any active (scheduled)
drug, thus they are legal. The spores we sell
can produce mushroom fungi if you put them in the right growing conditions and
attempt to cultivate them. That mushroom fungi can potentially develop into
mushrooms if you continue to grow them in just the right conditions. In the U.S. it
is illegal to cultivate
psilocybe mushrooms, but it is not illegal to possess spores and research them
under a microscope or use them as food seasoning.
Just because our spore suppliers/growers lives where it is legal to grow psilocybe
mushrooms it is NOT our intention that you do so as well. Pictures are
