MONTHLY FEATURE: Ps. cubensis : Magnum PE 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."

Psilocybe cubensis : Magnum Penis Envy (Magnum PE)

Comments: Magnum PE was developed in Sporeworks labs as a cross between the Giant Penis Envy (GPE) and Melmac Thick Penis (MelTP) varieties of Psilocybe cubensis. This particular isolate is the most robust descendant of the PE line that we have seen.

Individual specimens can get very large and unlike other varieties of Penis Envy, produce adequate spores.

Strain Origin: Sporeworks laboratory

Description

• Pileus (Cap): Up to 150+ mm in diameter, campanulate, golden brown to yellow. Surface dry and lacks remnants of universal veil on cap (spots). Flesh white soon bruising bluish green. The caps do not develop normally but do produce adequate spores.
• Lamellae (Gills): Attachment adnate to adnexed, very close, often deformed on larger specimens. Grayish coloration in young fruit bodies that darkens in age.
• Stipe (Stem): Up to 200+ mm in length, often bulbous near the middle, pale yellow to buff. Flesh bruising bluish green where injured. No persistent annulus but an annular zone can be distinguished on the stems surface. Dark purple-brown dusting of spores on older specimens.
• Spore print: Dark purple-brown.

Microscopic Features

• Spores: Dark purplish brown, subellipsoid on 4-spored basidia
• Basidia:
• Pleurocystidia:
• Cheilocystidia:

* 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.
