Hi, I’m a university student living in NSW, and I’m studying psychology and biological science. I’ve been a fan of mycology for a few years now, and have bought non-psychoactive spores for study and growing purposes before, however I’m interested in studying different active species now due to increasing research into the field of psychoactive therapy in psychology. I don’t have intentions of actually growing and cultivating the spores, but I don’t want to risk picking my own magic mushrooms and making my own spores since I know that would be illegal. I’m curious about the legality of ordering mushroom spores, specifically active spores (cubensis), online via overseas providers and mycologists.

Here is the list of permitted mushroom spawn/culture by the Australian government: BICON - Annex

I‘m thinking what you’re describing is not listed. See the note at the bottom of the page:

“Note: Any species not listed in table 1 are not permitted entry into Australian territory.”
