Back to School Combo Special!
Summer is winding down, the nights are getting cooler, and it's time to hit the books! What better way to celebrate the return to institutionalize learning, than by adding a couple highly regarded microscopy samples to your collection? With tounge planted squarely in cheek, we offer you the Back to School Combo Special: two spore syringe microscopy kits, one each of Albino A+ and B+. Why these two, well duh... not everyone is an A+ student...
This combo is offered at $24.95 for two spore filled syringes. That's just over 25%, but not quite $10 off the standard retail price... we leave it to you AP students to do the actual math.
Bulk discounts also available: purchase four or more combo packs and the price drops to $19 each. (Again, for our B+ students, that's 8 syringes for $76).
Sale will expire Aug 31.
Note: This Special is offered for Spore Syringe Microscopy Kits only
 Psilocybe cubensis : Albino A+
Habitat: Bovine, Equine Dung and Enriched Soils Climate: Subtropical
Strain Origin: Leucistic mutation of the A strain
Cap: Very pale cream, especially in the center, to white often with bluish tones, sometimes with a sharp central nipple. Universal veil remnant spots are present but inconspicuous against the pale cap.
Stem: Similar in coloration to the cap, bluing intensely with damage. Partial veil leaves a persistent membranous annulus that is soon purple with spores.
Gills: Attachment adnate to adnexed. Grayish coloration in young fruit bodies becoming nearly black in maturity.
Spores: Dark purple in deposit
Comments: Unlike the PF albino, this mutated strain retains normally pigmented spores. Since there is also a small amount of pigment in the carpophores, this strain is better considered a leucistic form instead of a true albino. Original print provided by E-V-da-B.
 Psilsocybe cubensis : B+
Habitat: Bovine, Equine Dung and Enriched Soils Climate: Subtropical
Strain Origin: Unknown
Cap: 25-75 mm in diameter, hemispheric to convex expanding to broadly convex to nearly plane with age. Dark red maturing to golden brown. Surface viscid with apparent gelatinous layer when very wet, soon smooth from drying. Fine fibrillose veil remnants when young that soon disappear. Flesh white soon bruising bluish green.
Stem: 150-200+ mm in length. Typically equal, sometimes slightly enlarged at base, sometimes contorted. Yellowish to buff with a reflective sheen, bruising bluish, hollow. Partial veil membranous leaving a persistent membranous annulus that is well dusted with purplish brown spores even before tearing away from the cap.
Gills: Attachment adnate to adnexed. Grayish coloration in young fruit bodies becoming nearly black in maturity.
Spores: Dark purplish brown, subellipsoid, 13 by 8 micrometers on 4-spored basidia
Formerly misrepresented as Psilocybe azurescens.
Detail of separable gelatinous pellicle: This feature seems to be unique to the "B+" among cubensis. When young and fully hydrated the cap has a transparent amber colored layer of cells that quickly oxidizes upon removal to a more opaque blue gray color. The texture is like a thin stretchable layer of gelatin. Note the area where the pellicle has been removed is dull.
