MONTHLY FEATURE: Psilocybe cubensis : Rusty Whyte Spore Isolate Syringe

Spore Works Lab Monthly Feature: on the first of every month the Spore Works Lab will releases a limited quantity of mushroom spore or culture material from rare, interesting, and exotic varieties. These represent the ongoing efforts of our dedicated team towards collection, taxonomy, and species/strain development, and are offered at a discount to encourage further investigation. Your patronage ensures the continued research and development of these wonderful mushroom varietes, thank you for your support. Quantities are limited, as new features will be announced and rotated each month.

Isolate (ISO) provided in sterile aqueous solution using 10cc Luer-Lok syringes. One 1.5in 16ga needle will be provided for each syringe. For more information on Spore Isolate Syringes, see our Blog Update: "Spore Isolates: What and Why."

Comments: The Rusty Whyte is a variety of Psilocybe cubensis developed by shroomery user Pastywhyte in 2014 by crossing Ps. cubensis Albino A+ with Columbian Rust Spore. The result is a variety that exhibits both the pale coloration of the Albino A+ and the red spores of the Columbian Rust Spore.

Habitat: Bovine, Equine Dung and Enriched Soils

Climate: Subtropical

Cap: Very pale cream, especially in the center, to white often with bluish tones, sometimes with a sharp central nipple. Universal veil remnant spots are present but inconspicuous against the pale cap.

Stem: Similar in coloration to the cap, bluing intensely with damage. Partial veil leaves a persistent membranous annulus.

Gills: Attachment adnate to adnexed. Almost white in young fruit bodies becoming golden yellow in maturity.

Spores: Clay brown to reddish brown in deposit.

* Spore isolate intended for microscopy and taxonomy purposes only. Images provided for informational and educational reference only and originate from cultivators and labs outside the US. Cultivation of this species is illegal in many countries including locations within the United States. Please check your local regulations.

California, Idaho, Florida, and Georgia residents: Orders requesting Psilocybe Genera material shipped to California, Idaho, Florida, and Georgia will be refused, voided, or refunded. Possession of these mushroom spores may be illegal in CA, ID, FL, and GA without the proper permissions.

So, what exactly is an Isolate? In contrast to the multi-spore syringes (MS), which contain a wide variety of genetic material in tens of thousands of spores, our isolates (ISO) contain only one set of genes. This assures that it will perform consistently and uniformly in your research. In instances where genetic diversity is desired, we recommend our multi spore (MS) products. When predictability is preferred, isolates (ISO) are the best choice.
