DESCRIPTION
Psilocybe cubensis Texas Spores
Psilocybe cubensis “Texas” is a classic North American strain originally discovered in the fields of southern Texas. Collected by local enthusiasts in the 1990s, this variety is celebrated for its rugged genetics and iconic status among American cubensis collectors.
Scientific Characteristics:
-
Spore Color: Deep, rich purple-brown, consistent with the P. cubensis species.
-
Shape & Size: Spores are elliptical to subellipsoid, typically measuring 12–17 x 8–12 micrometers under a microscope.
-
Appearance: Texas spores are noted for their uniformity, dense pigmentation, and smooth surface, making them ideal for microscopic observation and identification.
-
Mycelium Traits: Renowned for vigorous, rhizomorphic mycelial growth and reliable spore print production in legal research environments.
-
Fruit Body Notes: In nature, Texas produces medium to large mushrooms with broad, caramel-brown caps and thick, sturdy stems, but research focuses exclusively on the spores.
Research Use:
Texas spores are a staple for mycologists and microscopy hobbyists, valued for their genetic consistency and adaptability. Ideal for educational research, strain comparison, and expanding any serious spore collection.
Fun Fact:
Nicknamed the “Lone Star Classic,” the Texas strain stands out as a symbol of North American cubensis resilience—robust, dependable, and a must-have for collectors.
