Back to School Special: A+ and B+ Spore Syringe Combo Pack

Back to School Combo Special!

Time for Spring Semester! What better way to celebrate the return to institutionalize learning, than by adding a couple highly regarded microscopy samples to your collection? With that in mind, we offer you the Back to School Combo Special: one each of A+ and B+. Why these two, well duh... not everyone is an A+ student...

This combo is offered at $27.75 for two spore filled syringes. That's 25% off regular price (the math checks out).

Bulk discounts also available: purchase four or more combo packs and the price drops to $22 each. (That's 8 syringes for $88, the math checks out).

Note: This Special is offered for Spore Syringes only

Psilocybe cubensis : A+ (our current Monthly Lab Feature!)

Habitat: Bovine, Equine Dung and Enriched Soils
Climate: Subtropical

Strain Origin: Leucistic mutation of the A strain

Cap: 25-50+ mm in diameter, convex to broadly convex to plane at maturity often with persistent acute umbo (nipple). Reddish cinnamon brown maturing to golden brown to light yellow with nearly white edges. Surface dry lacking remnants of universal veil on cap (spots). Flesh white soon bruising bluish green.

Stem: 150+ mm in length, yellowish. Flesh bruising bluish green where injured. Persistent membranous annulus (ring) from partial veil that becomes dusted with purple brown spores at maturity.

Gills: Attachment adnate to adnexed. Grayish coloration in young fruit bodies becoming nearly black in maturity.

Spores: Dark purplish brown, subellipsoid on 4-spored basidia

Comments: Origin of the A-strain of Psilocybe cubensis is unknown, but it was originally supplied by a spore vendor in Idaho. This strain is the basis for the Leucistic mutation that resulted in Psilocybe cubensis : Albino A+ Strain.

Psilsocybe cubensis : B+

Habitat: Bovine, Equine Dung and Enriched Soils
Climate: Subtropical

Strain Origin: Unknown

Cap: 25-75 mm in diameter, hemispheric to convex expanding to broadly convex to nearly plane with age. Dark red maturing to golden brown. Surface viscid with apparent gelatinous layer when very wet, soon smooth from drying. Fine fibrillose veil remnants when young that soon disappear. Flesh white soon bruising bluish green.

Stem: 150-200+ mm in length. Typically equal, sometimes slightly enlarged at base, sometimes contorted. Yellowish to buff with a reflective sheen, bruising bluish, hollow. Partial veil membranous leaving a persistent membranous annulus that is well dusted with purplish brown spores even before tearing away from the cap.

Gills: Attachment adnate to adnexed. Grayish coloration in young fruit bodies becoming nearly black in maturity.

Spores: Dark purplish brown, subellipsoid, 13 by 8 micrometers on 4-spored basidia

Formerly misrepresented as Psilocybe azurescens.

Detail of separable gelatinous pellicle: This feature seems to be unique to the "B+" among cubensis. When young and fully hydrated the cap has a transparent amber colored layer of cells that quickly oxidizes upon removal to a more opaque blue gray color. The texture is like a thin stretchable layer of gelatin. Note the area where the pellicle has been removed is dull.
