DESCRIPTION
Psilocybe cubensis Syzygy
Psilocybe cubensis “Syzygy” is a legendary strain with cosmic roots—famously attributed to Terence and Dennis McKenna in the 1980s, named after their mail-order spore company. “Syzygy” itself refers to a rare celestial alignment, and this strain’s storied past only adds to its mystique among spore collectors and mycologists.
Scientific Characteristics:
-
Spore Color: Distinct deep purple-brown, classic for P. cubensis spores.
-
Shape & Size: Spores are typically elliptical, ranging from 12–17 x 8–12 micrometers in size under the microscope.
-
Appearance: Syzygy spores feature high-contrast pigmentation and smooth surfaces, providing excellent definition for microscopy studies.
-
Mycelium Traits: When observed (in legal environments), Syzygy is renowned for producing thick, rhizomorphic mycelium and reliable, abundant spore prints.
-
Fruit Body Notes: In the wild, this strain is noted for medium to large fruit bodies with golden-brown caps and sturdy stems—though microscopy is the focus for spore enthusiasts.
Research Use:
Syzygy spores are highly sought after for their historical pedigree and reliability. Their unique genetics and consistent spore formation make them a top choice for comparative mycological research and educational study.
Fun Fact:
Much like the celestial event it’s named after, Syzygy is a rare find in the wild spore world—prized for its connection to psychedelic history and the McKenna legacy.
