About Psilocybe cubensis varieties
Psilocybe cubensis is the pantropical dung-loving species behind nearly every named 'strain' in the hobby. The varieties differ in appearance and history, but under the microscope they are one species: subellipsoid spores of roughly 11 to 17 by 7 to 10 micrometres with a broad germ pore, and a dark purple-brown print.
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?
