A “Brazilian Mushrooms Grow Kit” refers to a grow kit for the Brazilian strain of Psilocybe cubensis, a species of mushroom containing the illegal Class A controlled substances psilocybin and psilocin.
Legality of grow kits vs. spores
The legality of products related to psilocybin mushrooms in the UK is determined by whether they contain dormant spores or active, psilocybin-producing mycelium.
- Dormant spores (legal for microscopy): Products containing dormant spores, such as spore prints or spore syringes, are legal to possess for microscopy, research, or educational purposes because the spores do not contain psilocybin.
- Grow kits (illegal): A “grow kit” implies active cultivation. Once the spores germinate into mycelium within the kit, the culture becomes illegal because it contains psilocybin.
UK law and penalties
- Class A drug: Under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, psilocybin and psilocin are Class A drugs, which carries the most severe penalties for possession and supply.
- Severe penalties: The maximum penalty for possession of a Class A substance is up to seven years in prison, an unlimited fine, or both. Supplying Class A drugs can lead to a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

For those interested in growing mushrooms legally, you can purchase grow kits for edible and medicinal fungi that do not contain psilocybin from reputable UK retailers. Examples of legal grow kits include:
