Pink Buffalo Spores: Syringes, Prints & Isolates
Pink Buffalo is a Psilocybe cubensis strain with a Thai origin story: the usual account is a collection from Koh Samui, found near a buffalo that the collector, often named as John Allen, took as a lucky sign. The story is repeated on most listings and is folkloric in its details. The caps are often described as having a pink to reddish tint.
Under the microscope it is a standard cubensis, with a purple-brown print and subellipsoid spores around 11 to 17 by 7 to 10 micrometres. Pink Buffalo is sold mostly as multispore syringes and prints, with the odd isolate; look for the generation and for ISO or multispore on the label.
