Terms of Service & Legal Disclaimer
Last updated: February 2026
1. General Terms
Sporexpert is a mushroom cultivation management platform that provides educational tools, cultivation tracking, community features, and an online store. By accessing or using Sporexpert ("the Platform"), you agree to the following terms.
2. Legal Disclaimer — Psychoactive Species
2.1 Educational and Research Purpose Only
All information regarding psychoactive mushroom species (including but not limited to Psilocybe, Panaeolus, Gymnopilus, and Pluteus genera) provided on this Platform — including cultivation parameters, species profiles, and related data — is offered strictly for educational, scientific, and mycological research purposes.
Sporexpert does not promote, encourage, endorse, or facilitate the cultivation, possession, distribution, or consumption of psychoactive mushrooms in any jurisdiction where such activities are prohibited by law.
2.2 Spore Products
Mushroom spore products available in our store are sold exclusively for microscopy, taxonomy, and scientific research purposes. Spores do not contain psilocybin or psilocin. The purchase of spores does not constitute authorization or encouragement to cultivate psilocybin-containing mushrooms.
Spores must not be used for cultivation purposes in jurisdictions where such activity is illegal.
2.3 Applicable Laws
Users must be aware that:
United States (Federal): Psilocybin and psilocin are classified as Schedule I controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 812). Cultivation, manufacture, distribution, and possession of psilocybin-containing mushrooms are federal crimes punishable by up to 20 years imprisonment. Spores are legal federally as they do not contain controlled substances, except in California, Georgia, Idaho, and Florida where state laws restrict spore possession.
Mexico: Psilocybin and hallucinogenic mushrooms are classified as Group I psychotropic substances under the Ley General de Salud (Articles 245–249). Cultivation, harvesting, processing, possession, trade, and consumption are prohibited, with penalties of 10 to 25 years imprisonment under the Federal Criminal Code. Article 195 bis of the Federal Penal Code provides an exemption for traditional spiritual practices and indigenous ceremonies.
Other Jurisdictions: Laws regarding psilocybin mushrooms, spores, and cultivation vary significantly by country, state, and municipality. Some jurisdictions (Oregon, Colorado, and select municipalities in the United States) have enacted decriminalization or regulated access programs. Users must research and comply with all applicable laws in their specific jurisdiction.
2.4 User Responsibility
It is the sole responsibility of each user to understand and comply with all applicable federal, state, provincial, and local laws regarding psychoactive mushroom species, spores, cultivation, and possession in their jurisdiction.
Sporexpert assumes no responsibility or liability for any illegal use of information, products, or tools provided through the Platform. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you will comply with all applicable laws.
