Sporeworks.EU is the European Sporeworks shop for magic mushroom spores, including Psilocybe cubensis, Panaeolus cyanescens, and exotic Psilocybe species.
Our European catalog includes spore syringes, spore prints, and multi-syringe packs for microscopy, prepared and shipped from Austria. Since 1998, Sporeworks has built its reputation on consistent quality, dependable microscopy material, and a long-standing tradition trusted by microscopy hobbyists and researchers all over the world.
The scientific publications and research citations below document the use of Sporeworks spores and fungal material in mycological research, DNA authentication, fungal genetics, taxonomy, and related scientific studies.
They include published work involving Psilocybe cubensis, Psilocybe species, Panaeolus species, and other fungi supplied by Sporeworks Laboratories. The same focus on consistent quality and reliable material has also helped Sporeworks build a large base of satisfied customers over more than two decades.

Enhanced Green Biosynthesis of Metallic Nanoparticles by Fungi in Low Earth Orbit Conditions (2024)
On March 21st, 2024, several Sporeworks spore samples were aboard the SpaceX Cargo Dragon C209 spacecraft for NASA’s CRS-30 research mission, which launched from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
This study highlights the role of fungal biosynthesis in manufacturing gold and silver nanoparticles that are smaller and more geometrically consistent than those produced on Earth.
Initial findings demonstrate antibacterial and organoid penetration properties, as well as viability under simulated cosmic radiation.
This paper examined, for the first time, the response of a psilocybin-producing species Psilocybe cubensis to casing (peat moss and vermiculite) and supplementation with gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate).
Spores of Psilocybe cubensis (Malabar) were provided by Sporeworks.
This paper sequenced the genomes of 38 Psilocybe cubensis isolates from Australia and compared them with 86 commercially available cultivars to determine their genetic relationships.
Included in the analysis were seven Psilocybe cubensis cultivars provided by Sporeworks.com, including Albino A+, Malabar, Colombian Rustspore, Golden Teacher, Mazatapec, Huautla, and B+.
This study reexamined 94 Psilocybe fungarium specimens by DNA barcoding and chemical profiling of cultivated Psilocybe cubensis.
Specimens of Psilocybe cubensis (Golden Teacher SKU PSMICsy-090) originated from spore syringes provided by Sporeworks.com.
