DESCRIPTION
Psilocybe cubensis Teonanactl Spores
Psilocybe cubensis Teonanacatl spores are a fascinating specimen for microscopy research, named after the ancient Nahuatl word meaning “flesh of the gods,” a term used by the Aztecs to describe sacred mushrooms. This strain originated from a wild variety native to Mexico, where ceremonial use of Psilocybe species has deep historical and cultural roots. Researchers are often drawn to this strain for its historical significance and unique spore characteristics.
Under the microscope, Teonanacatl spores display a dark purplish-brown to near-black coloration when mature. They are elliptical to subellipsoid in shape, with smooth surfaces and a prominent germ pore. Spore dimensions typically fall within the 11–17 micrometers in length and 7–11 micrometers in width range, consistent with most Psilocybe cubensis strains. These spores are well-suited for detailed microscopic observation and comparative analysis, making them a meaningful addition to any spore researcher’s collection.
