Unlike spores from cubensis fungi, azurescens spores are very hard to come by. While most microscopists would love to have the chance to get it on a slide in their lab, legal cultivation by mycology labs is simply too difficult for the spores to be worth gathering.
Consider the following to be a little psychedelic mushroom strain guide so that you can learn more about the psychedelic mushroom spores we sell. Like azurescens , the Blue Meanie strain is known for its bruising characteristics in the wild. Mycologists have reported that this particular strain bruises a deep, dark blue—which is, of course, where it gets its name from. Of those strains, Penis Envy is perhaps the most popular. This is thanks to not only its very high psilocybin content and attention-grabbing name, but also because this strain is believed to have been cultivated by Terence and Dennis McKenna, who are famous figures in the world of magic mushrooms.
We have a wide variety of spores available from nearly all strains of psychedelic mushrooms, including the ones mentioned above like Penis Envy and The Lucy.
Whenever dealing with psychedelic mushroom spores, there are some important legal considerations you must understand. It is perfectly legal to buy, sell, own, and study psilocybin mushroom spores for research purposes only.

Unfortunately, psilocybin mushroom spores are illegal in California, Georgia, and Idaho, and we cannot deal with any customers residing in those states.
Like other medicinal mushrooms, ancient people across the world used psilocybin to heal themselves and for spiritual purposes—our culture seems to be rediscovering these benefits now, and perhaps more importantly, proving them with science. Clinical trials have indicated that psilocybin may offer certain individuals a great deal of benefit in treating a variety of maladies, including depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and even addiction to alcohol or cigarettes.
Some are suggested to be more euphoric, more visually psychedelic, or more introspective. The strain of mushroom you choose has little to no direct impact on the experience. Your mindset going into the trip has a much greater impact on the qualitative experience you have from taking magic mushrooms — not the strain. The bottom line is that all strains are going to provide more or less the same experience. The core difference from one strain to another is the growth habits of the mushrooms themselves.
There are some exceptions here. Additionally, you may want to go with a more cold-tolerant or heat-tolerant strain depending on the climate conditions where you live. For most people, the best strain is simply the one that sounds the most interesting to you. I encourage you to try many different strains and find one that works best for you.
Some people create hybrids by mixing two or more strains together; others isolate specific growth habits from existing strains using agar plates.
Many more undocumented strains are circulating in closed spore trading circles, mycological societies, or private labs. You can also collect your own wild strains by harvesting samples from the wild. G — an infamous mushroom breeder and Shroomery user.
This strain has nice thick, tan-colored caps and produces fairly prolific flushes, especially in the second and third flush. The Albino A strain is the isolated genetics of a pale white version of the classic A strain. This is not a true albino because the spores still carry the dark purple or black color. Albinos have no pigment in the flesh or spores. Albino A shares the same infamous large fruiting bodies, cap shape, and thick spore production as its parent genetics.
Albino Penis Envy is the non-pigmented version of Penis Envy. It was developed by Workman at Sporeworks. This strain is just as potent as the conventional Penis Envy mushroom and produces prolific flushes. The only trade-off is that this strain is much more prone to aborts than the original strain, so this is considered an intermediate-level strain for home growers. This strain is an albino mutation of the classic Treasure Coast strain — originally harvested from the Southern Florida Gulf Coast.

This strain is an aggressive colonizer and highly resistant to infection and mold. This strain is well-loved in the mushroom community. Its characteristics are thin, tall mushrooms with rapid colonization times.
Amazon is a very large mushroom strain and grows surprisingly quickly for its size. Part of the reason they can grow so large so quickly is the fact that this strain has hollow stems. They shrink quite a bit when you dry them out. As you can imagine, this strain was first collected in pastures around Australia no specific region identified.
The Australian cubensis strain is a classic golden top mushroom with large fruits, rapid colonization, and relatively strong resistance to mold and bacteria. This is an excellent strain for beginners.
This strain comes from Central America. Its name comes from the Aztec tribes that used these mushrooms several hundred years ago.
This is a good intermediate species to consider for people who want something a little different. This is a classic strain invented by the legendary Mr. Either way, this is an excellent strain for beginners because of how resistant it is to cool weather and contamination. This strain is slower growing than most, but the increased defense against infection and unoptimized growing conditions is worth waiting a few extra days. Ban Hua Thanon is more commonly referred to in the mushroom community as BHT mushroomers love their acronyms.
The original sample was collected by Mushroom John Allen on a tour through Southeast Asia in the 90s as he collected new strains of Psilocybe cubensis. This strain is noted for its large mushrooms, but not much else is known about this strain. Ban Thurian B. This strain is an isolation of the Mexican Cubensis strain one of the O.
The Bix Mex isolate produces characteristic flat caps with a light-colored ring around the edges. Once the veils break, these mushrooms throw thick black mounds of spores all over the place in just a few short hours.
The name for this strain comes from the distinct blue coloration that forms around the caps and stems when touched or grazed. This discoloration is present in all psilocybin-containing mushrooms but is more noticeable in larger and light-colored strains such as this.
The original stock for this mushroom strain is reported to come from Australia, and the appearance of these mushrooms is very similar to the Australian strain. In the wild, these mushrooms can easily grow larger than 18 inches, but in cultivation, the fruiting is much smaller. The original sample was collected from outside Yangoon, Burma now Myanmar. It was reportedly collected by a Thai student who gifted a sample to Mushroom John Allen, who then propagated the spores throughout the mushroom community.
This strain is highly resistant to unoptimized growing conditions and. Mushroom John Allen collected the original sample for this strain near the ancient temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

The short and fat nature of these shrooms means they can be very dense. This strain produces mushrooms that are slightly larger than Golden Teachers while providing the same euphoric and insightful experiences that make Golden Teachers so popular. Golden Teachers are one of the most common mushroom strains on the market and an excellent option for beginner mushroom cultivators because of their tolerance to unoptimized growing environments.
The origins of this strain remain a mystery, but experts believe it was originally picked from somewhere in the Gulf region of the United States. This strain has been circulating around since at least the s. This is a very well-rounded strain. It grows quickly, produces dense flushes, and carries average to high strength for a cubensis.
This strain is distinguished by its dark pinhead mushrooms that form into light golden-colored caps as they mature. The flushes on this strain are very prolific but are more prone to molding.

There are some things to look out for when foraging for mushrooms—or buying them on the black market. A standard dose of shrooms is around two or three grams, but two grams of penis envy mushrooms could be much stronger than, say, two grams of golden teachers. When foraging, the biggest risk, as mentioned, is that you might misidentify a mushroom.
Some mushrooms found in the wild are actually fatal. In terms of addiction, shrooms have actually shown promise for treating substance use disorders. There are other risks, though, if you have bipolar, schizophrenia, or a personal or family history of psychosis. We have a small favor to ask. And we have committed to never having a paywall.
