DESCRIPTION
Psilocybe cubensis Thailand Elephant Dung Spores
Psilocybe cubensis “Thailand Elephant Dung” is an exotic strain with a legendary backstory—originally discovered in the humid jungles of Thailand, growing on the nutrient-rich dung of native elephants. Originally collected by John Allen near Bangkok Thailand, this variety captured the fascination of mycologists and collectors alike for its unique ecological niche and robust tropical genetics.
Scientific Characteristics:
-
Spore Color: Deep purple-brown, a hallmark of classic P. cubensis strains.
-
Shape & Size: Spores are elliptical to subellipsoid, typically measuring 12–17 x 8–12 micrometers under the microscope.
-
Appearance: Thailand Elephant Dung spores exhibit smooth surfaces, strong pigmentation, and uniform size, providing excellent clarity for microscopic study.
-
Mycelium Traits: Known for rapid, rhizomorphic mycelial growth and prolific spore print production (when observed in legal research environments).
-
Fruit Body Notes: In nature, this strain produces medium to large mushrooms with thick, white stems and wide, golden caps—though microscopy research focuses exclusively on the spores.
Research Use:
Thailand Elephant Dung spores are prized by mycologists for their rare origin and strong, consistent morphology. Perfect for studying tropical adaptation, genetic diversity, or expanding any serious spore collection.
Fun Fact:
The “Elephant Dung” moniker isn’t just for show—this strain truly traces its origins to the mighty Thai elephant, making it one of the most unique cubensis varieties in the microscopy world.
