View MoreTo any California resident that is confused on the laws involving spores I just want to let you know you can indeed legally posses and keep them, no different than federal law as long as the intent is to not cultivate them, microscopy only. Here is the full law in case anyone is curious. Hope this helps!

CALIFORNIA

There are three interesting things about the California law regarding spores.

The law appears to state that it is only illegal to import spores into the state if there is intent to cultivate them into mushrooms.

It is not specifically illegal to possess spores, it is only illegal to "transport, import into the state, sell, furnish, or give away" spores or mycelium if they are intended to be cultivated or used to produce psilocybin-containing mycelium or fungi.

Only viable spores appear to be illegal as the law specifically states that it is "spores or mycelium capable of producing mushrooms" which are illegal.
