DESCRIPTION
Psilocybe cubensis Thailand Koh samui Super Strain Spores
Psilocybe cubensis “Koh Samui Super Strain” (KSSS) hails from the tropical island of Koh Samui, Thailand. This super strain was selected and developed from wild specimens collected by mycologist John Allen in the early 2000s, renowned for its impressive genetics and resilience in hot, humid climates.
Scientific Characteristics:
-
Spore Color: Classic deep purple-brown, a signature of healthy P. cubensis spores.
-
Shape & Size: Spores are elliptical to subellipsoid, typically measuring 12–17 x 8–12 micrometers under the microscope.
-
Appearance: KSSS spores feature bold, uniform pigmentation and a smooth surface—ideal for high-contrast, detailed microscopy.
-
Mycelium Traits: This strain is famous for fast, aggressive rhizomorphic growth and abundant spore print production in legal research environments.
-
Fruit Body Notes: In the wild, KSSS produces thick-stemmed, short, and robust mushrooms with wide, caramel caps—though in microscopy, all eyes are on the spores themselves.
Research Use:
KSSS spores are highly sought after by mycologists for their genetic stability, resilience, and fascinating Southeast Asian origin. A staple for comparative spore studies, genetic analysis, and anyone looking to broaden their microscopy collection.
Fun Fact:
KSSS is nicknamed the “tropical powerhouse”—a nod to its supercharged genetics and its roots on Thailand’s sun-soaked Koh Samui island.
