Is mycelium legal in the uk?(want to order a myceliumbox)
    #17815395 - 02/16/13 08:24 PM (11 years, 3 months ago)

I'm about to order a MyceliumBox.
It might not give me the most bang for the buck but at least I don't risk an early contamination and get to enjoy the fruits faster. Given this will my first grow I want a quick and foolproof solution.

I've read that mycelium does contain some psilocybin (I suppose minimal trace amounts) which is definitely illegal. However the shop that I'm thinking to order from does send the myceliumboxes to the uk. (I'd give the name of the shop but not sure if it's allowed,)
They are sent from the Netherlands.

Do you think it would get confiscated by customs? Could I even get fined?
However the shop claims that the items are shipped discretely without any indication of the content, so it might slip by?
Or I'd be fine?

I'd appreciate any feedback.

Why not just order a few pre-steralized grain bags from a Shroomery sponsor and a syringe? Mycelium is a felony in North America. You'd be better off to learn the trade yourself anyway.

Read through my getting started forum post for some hints.

I might if I find out that mycelium is illegal in the uk and it's very likely that it would get confiscated.

I would really prefer to start off with already colonized substrate.
It's £42.00 and has a thermo mat included which is important (room temp is too low) I know this method is not the most affordable in the long run but I've checked and it offers the cheapest starting point.

It's illegal in the UK since mycelium contains psilocybin.  You would be better off ordering spores from one place and presterilized bags from another place.

I wouldn't even try it, it will just result I nasty letters from customs and unwanted attention.

For the ammount and time involved in getting a few provisions and setting up yourself with minimal risk I would not consider this

I see. I get the impression that you just want to experience psilocybin as quickly as possible and cost is less important. If you want to get into shrooms though I'd really advise you to learn the trade. You'll have your freezer full of more cracker dry shrooms than you can eat in a lifetime. The reward of this hobby is worth the patience it takes to get started.

I contacted the shop and they didn't give me a clear answer if their
customers from the UK have had any problems receiving the myceliumbox.
Well.. I guess I'll let it go.

''We can ship to the UK and have had no problems so far.
Make sure all products you order can be legally received. ''

Yes it's illegal and a large tub/bag is much more noticeable and easier to pick up on than a syringe or spore print in the post.

Just get spores.  I'm UK and Sporeworks has never let me down. 
Cultivate 1 strain at a fraction of the price by DIY and you can then trade prints for new strains.  The kits are expensive and one-use whereas learning to source cheap grain and re-using old pasta sauce jars will last you a lifetime.

PF tek will cost you next to nothing.

Old glass cups - Check the cupboard or £shop,  3 for a quid.
Get Vermiculite from B&Q for £5 / 5L
Perlite from same place and price.
Spores from a sponsored vendor (For microscopic purposes, nothing to do with this list)

You can get away with steaming in a pot. Use an old tub or plastic bottles as a chamber.

So for about £20 you'll have a permanent re-usable set up.  You can add a PC to start doing grains.  £1 per kilo from £shop

You'll learn more, grow more for a cheaper price.
