Panaeolus (Copelandia) cambodginiensis : Sandose Domesticate Spore Syringe Microscopy Kit

Spores provided in sterile aqueous solution using 10cc BD Luer-Lok syringes. One 1.5in 16ga needle will be provided for each spore filled syringe.

Habitat: Manure and enriched soils
Climate: Tropical/subtropical

Strain Origin: Brooksville, Florida

Cap: 10-25 (29) mm in diameter. Pins brown to very dark brown maturing to grey brown often darker in the center. Occasionally observed with a scalloped margin.

Stem: (30) 80-100 mm long by 1.5-3 mm thick

Gills: Adnexed with 3 to 4 tiers of intermediate gills.

Spores: 11-13 microns, black in deposit, somewhat transparent under magnification. 4-spored with the occasional 2-spored basidium.

Comments: Highly domesticated and stable with low genetic variability. Previously considered a strain of Panaeolus tropicalis, this collection is better considered as the similar P. cambodginiensis. The documentation of the various Panaeolus species contains conflicting information which initially misled staff on this particular collection. P. tropicalis and P. cambodginiensis have similar sized spores and are easily confused.
