DESCRIPTION
Psilocybe cubensis SG-30 Spores
Psilocybe cubensis “SG-30” is a unique strain whose name hints at its roots: “SG” often believed to reference the “Super Golden” family, while “30” points to its original selection number. First circulated among spore collectors in the early 2000s, SG-30 quickly made a mark for its vigorous spore production and distinct characteristics.
Scientific Characteristics:
-
Spore Color: Classic deep purple-brown, typical of P. cubensis spores.
-
Shape & Size: Spores are subellipsoid to elliptical, generally measuring 12–16 x 8–11 micrometers under a microscope.
-
Appearance: SG-30 spores are smooth and uniform, with bold pigmentation for sharp contrast under magnification.
-
Mycelium Traits: Recognized for swift, aggressive mycelial growth (when observed in legal settings) and reliable spore print formation.
-
Fruit Body Notes: In natural environments, SG-30 produces medium-sized mushrooms with pronounced golden caps and thick, pale stems.
Research Use:
SG-30 spores are favored for their clarity and uniformity—ideal for mycological microscopy, side-by-side strain studies, or adding genetic variety to spore collections.
Fun Fact:
SG-30 is often called the “hidden gem” of cubensis spores—quietly reliable, easy to work with, and popular among collectors seeking something just a little different.
