Psilocybe cubensis : Melmac Spore Isolate Syringe

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."

Combo Savings! Purchase with your choice of other available strains in our 4-Pack Customer's Choice : Psilocybe cubensis (ISO).

Comments: Developed in the 1980’s by the mail-order company Homestead, Melmac (often spelled Melmak) is one of the original Penis Envy varieties released into circulation.

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

Strain Origin: Unknown

Cap: 50+ mm in diameter, campanulate, golden brown to yellow to grayish. Surface dry and lacks remnants of universal veil on cap (spots). Flesh white soon bruising bluish green. The caps, nearly secotioid, and lamellae do not develop normally and suffer diminished spore production.

Stem: 125-275 mm in length, contorted 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.

Gills: Attachment adnate to adnexed, very close, underdeveloped. Grayish coloration in young fruit bodies that darkens slightly in age.

Spores: Few but dark purplish brown in volume, subellipsoid on 4-spored basidia

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.
