Albino A+ - Psilocybe cubensis. Unlike true albinos (such as the Albino PE, Pearly Gates, TAT, etc), this strain retains normally pigmented spores, therefore it is more accurately described as leucistic and not "albino." #mushroommonday #fungifriends #mushroomsky #photography #mushrooms 🍄📷

Ecuador strain of Psilocybe cubensis : stunning, self-stabilized land race regularly illustrating the strengths of its genetic base for microscopy and taxonomy. In circulation for over 20 years and going still looking amazing! #mushroommonday #mushroomsky #fungifriends #photography #mushrooms 🍄📷

The South African Transkei variety of Psilocybe cubensis was originally collected in 2002 near the city of Durban South Africa. This is the first commercial variety of Ps. cubensis developed from a wild collection in Africa. #mushroomsky #mushroommonday #fungifriends #mushrooms #photography 🍄📷

Collected near the Taman Negara National Park in Malaysia. This tenacious and aggressive land race variety provides a host of wonderful genetics for mycology microscopy - a very healthy and stable Psilocybe cubensis from SE Asia. #mushroomsky #fungifriday #mushrooms #fungifriends #photography 🍄📷

Purple Mystic, Psilocybe cubensis. Originally collected in Plant City, Florida by mycologist Blackd0voe. It can often be found with purple spore deposits on mature caps, giving it a mysterious, regal appearance. A legandary strain. #mushroomsky #fungifriday #fungifriends #mushrooms #photography 🍄📷

Deconia pegleriana, formerly Psilocybe. A non-active, small, dung-loving mushroom of wide distribution including Mexico, the Southeastern US, South American, and SE Asia. From spore to fruit on agar in as little as seven days. #mushroomsky #mushroommonday #fungifriends #mushrooms #photography 🍄📷

Stunning rhizomorphic mycelium from the PE#6 strain of Psilocybe cubensis. Aggressive and prolific, this monster variety is a hybrid of the original PE and Texas Gulf Coast strains. Make mycelium, not war. #mushroomsky #fungifriends #fungifriday #photography #mushrooms 🍄📷

Syzygy strain of Psilocybe cubensis was collected in the '80s by Terrance McKenna in the Amazon, and developed with his brother Dennis at their home in Hawaii. Lost for some time, it was revived by Free Spore Ring Earth. #mushroomsky #mushroommonday #fungifriends #mushrooms #photography 🍄📷

The McKennaii strain of Psilocybe cubensis. Of relatively unknown origin, this mushroom variety has been in circulation for nearly 20 years. Named in honor of famed psychonaut and author Terrence McKenna. #mushroomsky #fungifriday #mushrooms #photography #fungifriends 🍄📷

Psilocybe ochraceocentrata : Natal Super Strain, a South African psilocybe. The "ochra" is quickly becoming a fan favorite for microscopy and taxonomy with desirable properties exceeding those of Ps. cubensis. Find out more! #mushroomsky #mushroommonday #fungifriends #photography #mushrooms 🍄📷

Is it B "plus" or B "positive?" Either way, it's an A-OK. The B+ strain of Psilocybe cubensis has been in circulation for almost three decades. A wonderful, stabilized strain for taxonomy and microscopy. #mushroomsky #fungifriday #fungifriends #photography #mushrooms 🍄📷

Psilocybe caeruleorhiza, Winter Teacher, a recently described psilocybin-containing mushroom species native to North America. The name, meaning “blue root” was inspired by the strong blueing reaction of rhizomorphs in culture. #mushroomsky #mushroommonday #fungifriends #mushrooms #photography 🍄📷

Gills from recently swabbed Psilocybe cubensis Albino Penis Envy caps. The enzymatic oxidation reaction that produces dark blue, indigo-like pigments is distinct after bruising from the swab tip, and removal from the stipe. #mushroomsky #fungifriday #fungifriends #photography #mushrooms 🍄📷

Spores, spores, and more spores. The seeds of fungal life, prints of several colors! Small prints or big, purple and red... or brown! Fungi are fascinating. Psilocybe spore prints on foil for your #fungifriday. #mushroomsky #mushrooms #fungifriends #photography 🍄📷

The Blue Meanie strain of Psilocybe cubensis was developed in the early 2000’s from an Australian collection. Since “Blue Meanie” is also a colloquial nickname for the species Panaeolus cyanescens, there is often confusion. #mushroommonday #mushroomsky #fungifriends #mushrooms #photography 🍄📷

This big ole pile o' mushroom pileus has done their best Spore Works. Given the goodies to provide healthy and stable spora for mycological microscopy. Follow and share for mush more. A mountain of Psilocybe cubensis caps for #fungifriday! #mushroomsky #fungifriends #mushrooms #photography 🍄📷

True Albino Teacher or TAT, Psilocybe cubensis, isolated from a Golden Teacher multispore experiment by mycologist Jik Fibs. This variety is the basis for many of the interesting crosses he and his colleagues would go on to develop #fungifriday #mushrooms #mushroomsky #fungifriends #photography 🍄📷

PES Amazonian var of Psilocybe cubensis. Originally produced by Pacifica Exotica Spora in Hawaii. The strain origins are largely "unknown" as the Amazon is a BIG place. A prime example of this species for microscopy and taxonomy. #mushroomsky #mushroommonday #photography #fungifriends #mushrooms 🍄📷
