Tidal Wave is a Psilocybe cubensis cross of Penis Envy and B+, with the wavy, rippled cap edge that gives it the name. The cross is usually credited to the breeder Doma, and the name became widely known through coverage of Oakland Hyphae's Psilocybin Cup. It has since produced lines of its own, including Enigma, which arose as a mutation in Tidal Wave.
The print is purple-brown and usually dense, since the B+ side sporulates well. Spores are subellipsoid, about 11 to 17 by 7 to 10 micrometres. Tidal Wave is sold as multispore syringes, prints and named isolates; vendor labels should say which, and give the generation where known.
Every Tidal Wave 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?
