Description
All spores sold for the purposes of microscopic study. Each spore syringe is prepared in front of a laminar flow hood under strict laboratory conditions. All spores are legally produced in Jamaica.
History and Origins:
White Teacher Spore Syringes are derived from a leucistic Golden Teacher strain that was named and discovered by a mycologist called Bas. Known for its extremely aggressive growth, White Teacher produces exceptionally fine, almost liquid-like mycelium, setting it apart from other tomentose varieties and isolates. This strain yields purple spores that drop from dense clusters of well-formed fruits.
In our observations, White Golden Teacher has demonstrated the ability to outcompete contaminants on Petri dishes, colonizing plates within days. The potential of WGT, available from InoculateTheWorld, is unmatched and truly belongs in a category of its own. Our White Golden Teacher Spore Syringes are filled with thousands of spores, all of which have been confirmed to be clean and healthy.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced mycologist, adding a White Golden Teacher Spore Syringe to your collection is essential.

Are White Teacher spores legal to buy?
In the UK any psilocybe cubensis spores are legal to buy but cultivation is not. The legality of buying Psilocybe Cubensis spores may vary depending on your location and local laws. In some countries, it is legal to purchase spores for research purposes, but illegal to cultivate them. In other places, it may be illegal to possess or purchase spores altogether.
How do I store my spores?
Spores should be stored in a cool, dark and dry environment. You can also store spores in the fridge. Make sure the syringe is in a clean zip-lock bag such as the packaging the spores are sent in.
Can I freeze my spore syringe?
DO NOT allow your spores to freeze. This is not because it’s a bummer to have to wait for your syringe to defrost before viewing your spores under the microscope. The issue is that the spore cells will burst as the water expands on freezing.
How long can I keep my spore syringe before using?
You should use your spore syringe as soon as possible. If stored correctly the spores should be fine for 6 months. The longer you leave the spore syringe the more chance of contamination being present when viewing under the microscope.
Can I reuse my spore syringe if I have some spore solution left?
Yes! The best thing to do is leave the needle on and flame sterilise before storing with the needle cover put back on. DO NOT remove the needle to put the syringe cap back on as this will allow an opportunity for contamination to occur. When you come to use your spore syringe again please flame sterilise again before pushing a small amount of the spore solution out of the needle. You are now able to carry on your microscopic studies.
I can’t see any spores in my syringe with the naked eye?
Each spore syringe has literally millions of spores in a 10 ml spore syringe. Individual spores are not visible to the naked eye. When you can see spores without using the microscope you are looking at a clump of spores. We homogenise our spore solutions to give an even distribution of White Teacher spores in the syringe. This can make it hard to see the spores as the clumps are broken up. The vast majority of our spore syringes have very visible clumps of spores even after homogenisation. If you can’t see any spores without the microscope there is no need to worry!
How do I get my White Teacher spore syringe ready for the microscope?
The aim of the game when viewing mushroom spores under the microscope is cleanliness. This means:
1) you need to be as clean as possible
2) your environment needs to be as clean as possible and
3) your equipment needs to be as clean as possible.
For you to be as clean as possible have a shower, wear clean clothes, and give your hands a good clean with 70% isopropyl aclohol (or wear sterile gloves).
To work in a clean environment ideally you will be using a Still Air Box (you can see how to make one here) or a flow hood. If you do not have access to this equipment then the next best thing is to work in a clean and draft free room. We are trying to eliminate the possabllity of something landing on your slide other than your selected spores. Give your equipment a good clean with 70% isopropyl alcohol. At this point you are ready to re-clean your hands with the alcohol wipe, remove the syringe cap and attach the supplied sterile needle.
