Workman said: Ok, let me see if I can sort this all out. First off, this vendor absolutely has no idea what he is talking about and seems to be just cobbling together some names at random. Second, he is using the movielink.com logo as his own (lame).
This vendor is confusing strains with species and even mixing up common names.
Psilocybe cubensis: This is a distinct species. It is the easist to grow and by far the most common Psilocybe mushroom available as spores. The majority of vendors only deal in this species but sell various varieties or strains. Psilocybe cubensis strain Mexican is just a strain of cubensis from Mexico (this is what you have).
Psilocybe mexicana is a completely different species that is more difficult to grow, produces smaller mushrooms but also has the ability to form sclerotia. It is not a variety of cubensis. The spores are harder to come by and are generally more expensive. Disreputable vendors may try to pass off cheaper cubensis spores as mexicana. A strain of Psilocybe mexicana is the Strain A. There is no Mexicana strain of Psilocybe cubensis.
The email also mentions Pilocybe Semilanciata (sic) as a strain of cubensis. This is false. Psilocybe semilanceata is yet another species of hallucingenic mushroom that is extremely difficult to grow and not normally available as spores. The common name is "Liberty Cap" and not "Bottle Cap" which is a common name applied to Psilocybe baeocystis which is yet another species.
Psilocybe subfimetaria is yet another species and is sometimes called a blue ringer which is also the common name of Psilocybe stuntzii. These are not strains of cubensis.
I hope that helps.
THANK YOU. You just verbalized the conclusion I was forming from all of the other comments beforehand. Thank you again for putting it concisely. You'll get a kick out of this, this vendor just sent me this correspondance:
"Check out this Wikipedia page. About half way down the page it does confirm that the mexicana strain-A does form sclerotia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybe_mexicana. Wikipedia has a lot of info about shrooms."
God, I can't believe I gave that asshole my credit card info. I'm scared now.

someone warned you before about dealing with micro supply. The warning was given for a good reason, those guys are shady as fuck. Obviously you are now seeing this firsthand.
www.shroomery.org/sponsors.php
These guys wont do you wrong. People like workman, who is a vendor here, strive to provide the best products for us. They (the sponsors) also provide excellent customer service and will almost bend over backwards while handing you the shirt off their back to fix a problem if it calls for it. Case in point, you can't go wrong with our vendors, and if something does go wrong we can help you get it sorted.
Unfortunately since microsupply is not a vendor, any related problems with their products is out of our control.
Good luck with your grow man, if the spores are good and you've followed a correct procedure, you should end up with some mushrooms at the end.
-------------------- To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . . -JG i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug* -A_S (RIP your final words to me will never be forgotten)

I hate to correct people (for risk of seeming defensive) but just for the record (for you seem to be taking an "i told you so" sort of stance) this warning came AFTER I had already recieved two spore syringes from them. See:

76degrees said: I've ordered from Micro-Supply twice and recieved twice. Very quickly I might add. Shipped very dicreetly and seemingly very sterile...
So, up untill yesterday, I was still under the impression that they were a decent vendor. I was ready to give them the benefit of the doubt based on their professional handling of the order. Even their customer service has been satisfactory. My inquiries were answered VERY quickly. The only thing that really sucks about them (micro-supply) is that apparently they have no idea what they are selling. Well obviously, they have some idea. So a noob like me would have never known the difference if experienced people like you hadn't raised the red flags, which I apprecate you all doing very much.

there are a lot of problems with micro supply, you should count yourself lucky you even received spores. All i was saying is that you now know why the person in that thread was warning you about micro supply.
