Dino Spores, P. subtropicalis "hoogshagenii var convexa" swab set
Psilocybe subtropicalis was described by Gaston Guzman from Mexico and sits close to Psilocybe mexicana and tampanensis. Vendors list locality collections from Veracruz under it, and some listings carry the older name semperviva. The print is purple-brown.
Each listing above is sold by the vendor who prepared it; the vendor's country, shipping regions and real customer reviews are on their store page. A multispore syringe, print or swab carries many genetic individuals, an isolate (ISO) is one worked line, and liquid culture and agar plates are living mycelium rather than spores. Isolated vs multispore explains the labels, how to use a spore syringe for microscopy covers the slide, and how to store spore syringes covers shelf life. Buying in the UK?
