"Shooting Stars" (unknown varient/mebbe P. cyanescens): How to proceed?

Got a syringe of this variety. Place of purchase sez: "Psilocybe Cubensis: "Shooting Stars"
This strain of Psilocybe Cubensis is being sold by a company in Canada as a hybrid. And although we are unsure as to wether it is an actual hybrid between 2 different mushrooms, we know for sure that they are different than the mushroom spores that we currently carry. This Canada company is selling these spores for $45 plus shipping. We have been able to get these to you at a reasonable price.
What is different in this strain is that although they do not grow very large, they do grow in numbers, often wanting to spurt more mushrooms than its substrate and mycelium network can withtand at one time. The casings get often so packed with pinhead mushrooms that its hard to see the casing layer underneath. Its stems are small to medium sized and the caps are a bit darker brown caramel color than other cubensis strains and often develop wavy caps similar to that of the Psilocybe Cyanescens Species which is what makes them most unique. The veil tends to stay stuck to the cap and eventually rips like string cheese but never gets fully removed from its cap. A unique mushroom I must say."
Looks like:
Wondering: Do the seasoned vets here think it can be colonized in a jar substrate (as with most cubes)? ...or is this a different animal (and, if so, what to advise)?

I weren't askin' for love toward the vendor. (For fuckssake.) Just a few seasoned eyes to discern of the varietal.
So far, one poster sez "cube." (Thanks.) Anyone else?
I just want to know how, or how not, to proceed with this one specimen.

Cost me $18. (The $45 quoted above is what Herr Vendor is saying another outfit is asking for these...)
A prickly bunch, today. Thankfully, I'm in a mellow mood.

I advise to avoid that supplier like the plague. Purchase from a reputable vendor who isn't well known for years to be bullshitting noobs over the internet into paying too much for too little. Cubes are cubes. If you have a specific 'strain' question, please use the strain thread. RR

"Shooting Stars" have been around for some time now... With that being said, It's a "Cube". You would cultivate it as you would any other "cube".
