Spore to Cap

How it gets made.

Every capsule passes through five stages inside our Michigan facility. Short supply chain. Long list of standards. No contract work, no mystery blends, no shortcuts.

/ Genetics

Genetics locked.

Every strain starts with verified genetics from a curated spore library.

We don't buy wholesale mystery cultures. Every strain in our lineup comes from a verified source, traceable to a specific phenotype and generation. When we say Tidal Wave, we mean the exact Tidal Wave that took Oakland Hyphae records. When we say Albino PE, we mean the genetic that earned the 2022 Psilocybin Cup Spiritual Champion.

Each strain gets its own isolate, its own colonization protocol, and its own grow log. If a genetic drifts from its expected phenotype, we pull it and restart. That's what separates a real strain catalog from a bag of unknowns.

KEY DETAIL

Every strain traceable to a verified source isolate.

/ Cultivation

Cultivated in-house.

Climate-controlled grow rooms, organic substrate, zero shortcuts.

Every fruit body on our production line is grown inside our facility. No contract growers, no overseas sourcing, no mystery supply chain. One building, one team, one standard.

Each strain has environmental parameters tuned to its specific phenotype. Temperature, humidity, CO2, light cycle, substrate composition - all logged and audited per batch. Organic grain, organic coir, no pesticides, no growth hormones. When something fails a grow check, that batch doesn't move forward.

KEY DETAIL

One roof, one team. No contract growers, no overseas sourcing.

/ Extract

Full-spectrum extract.

Cold processing preserves the full alkaloid profile. Nothing stripped out.

Mushrooms contain more than psilocybin. Psilocin, baeocystin, norbaeocystin, beta-carbolines - the full alkaloid profile contributes to what the experience actually feels like. A lot of microdose products use harsh heat processing that strips most of this out. We don't.

Our extract process runs cold and slow. The end result is a standardized concentrate that preserves the character of each strain. Tidal Wave still feels like Tidal Wave after extract. Enigma still hits like Enigma. That's the point.

KEY DETAIL

Cold extraction. Full alkaloid profile preserved, not stripped.

/ Dosing

Precision dosed.

Every capsule individually weighed. Plus or minus 5% tolerance.

This is the part the industry skips. Most microdose capsules are volume-measured, which means the weight can swing plus or minus 20% between caps in the same bottle. That's the reason a "microdose" feels like a museum dose sometimes and like nothing at all other times.

Every Caps Lock capsule is weighed to 0.25g with a plus or minus 5% tolerance. Any cap that misses spec gets pulled and reworked. Our tolerance is tighter than most supplement manufacturers, by design. Consistency is the product.

KEY DETAIL

Plus or minus 5% per capsule. Every cap weighed, not volume-measured.

/ Delivery

Bottled and delivered.

Hand-delivered to Michigan retail partners within 48 hours of bottling.

Once a batch passes dosing spec, it gets capsuled, bottled, and prepared for delivery. Every bottle is date-stamped with manufacture and expiration. Every shipment logs the retail partner, the strain, and the batch.

We hand-deliver to every Michigan retail partner within 48 hours of bottling. Cold-chain preserved, no third-party logistics, no untracked inventory. By the time a bottle hits a shelf, we know exactly where it came from and exactly where it went.

KEY DETAIL

48-hour delivery. Every bottle tracked from manufacture to shelf.
