Texas Spores: Syringes, Prints & Isolates

Texas is a Psilocybe cubensis strain said to come from a wild collection in the state, where the species grows on cattle dung through the warm months. The name has been used for several distinct collections over the years, and sub-lines such as Texas Orange Cap and Texas Yellow Cap are sold separately, so one vendor's Texas may not match another's.

As a wild-derived multispore it shows the usual cubensis traits under the microscope: a purple-brown print and subellipsoid spores about 11 to 17 by 7 to 10 micrometres. It is sold mostly as multispore syringes and prints. The label should name the sub-line where there is one, and the generation if the vendor tracks it.
