Shakti Spores: Syringes, Prints & Isolates

Shakti is a newer pale Psilocybe cubensis isolate, credited to a hobby breeder and circulated through vendors over the last few years. Beyond that credit, the pedigree has not been published in any detail, and listings that give a full parentage are repeating the vendor's own account. The name is the Sanskrit word for power.

The fruit is pale and the print is lighter than a standard cubensis, so expect a faint syringe. Spores are subellipsoid, in the usual range of about 11 to 17 by 7 to 10 micrometres. Shakti is sold as isolate syringes and swabs rather than multispore, so the label should name the isolate and give the generation.

Buying Shakti spores for microscopy

Every Shakti listing above comes from an independent vendor who prepared it, and the vendor's country, shipping regions and real customer reviews are on their store page. Labels tell you what you are getting: a multispore syringe carries many genetic individuals, an isolate (ISO) is a single worked line, and prints and swabs are the dry, long-life formats. Isolated vs multispore syringes explains the difference, how to store spore syringes covers shelf life, and how to use a spore syringe for microscopy walks through the slide. Buying in the UK?
