Dear members,
For reasons related to the current state of events, and agreeing with the global community rules, we have included the following entry in the FAQ:
1.5 What about Fungi?
Some users may be interested in discussing or trading mushroom related materials, particularly the psycho-active species containing psilocybin and psilocin. Sadly, growing these types of fungi is illegal almost everywhere, so trading live fungi tissue or discussion about them, including growing questions and grow logs, is not allowed in STS.
Mushroom spores of any kind do not contain scheduled substances, hence they are technically legal. Please note, however, that unless you live in a country where growing psychoactive mushrooms is allowed, their spores are basically precursors for producing illegal substances, so we do not encourage trading spores of psychoactive fungi.
Discussion about growing other species of fungi that do not contain scheduled substances is allowed, and so is trading legal mushroom growing tools or supplies.
I'm sure you will all understand that this is necessary for legal reasons and for your own safety.
Best wishes,
Mandrake
