This list contains microscopy spore samples from some of the worlds most noted edible, medicinal, and novelty mushroom species. Many mycological suppliers only offer the following species in culture form, limiting the ability to perform microscopy unless the purchased culture is cultivated, producing mature mushrooms from which the spores may be harvested. Purchasing the following prepared, clean spore print microscopy kits completely cuts out these unneeded steps and provides ready to observe spore material.
