DESCRIPTION
Psilocybe cubensis Albino A-Strain (AA+) Spores
The Psilocybe cubensis Albino A-Strain, commonly abbreviated as AA+, is a striking leucistic variety known for its pale, almost ghostly appearance in mature fruiting bodies. Despite the name "albino," this strain exhibits leucism rather than true albinism—retaining a faint pigmentation, particularly under certain lighting conditions.
Under the microscope, AA+ spores present the classic characteristics of P. cubensis:
-
Color: Deep purple-brown to black when viewed in mass (spore print).
-
Size: Typically ranges from 11.5–17.5 micrometers (µm) in length and 8–11 µm in width.
-
Shape: Elliptical to subelliptical, with a smooth surface and thick walls.
-
Germ pore: A distinct apical germ pore is visible, which is typical for P. cubensis spores.
Microscopy enthusiasts value the AA+ strain for its clean morphology, stable genetics, and the visual contrast of its spores against various staining agents.
