Decide what you are studying for. Beginners and classic microscopy often start with widely documented strains like Golden Teacher or B+. Collectors look for distinctive varieties like Penis Envy or leucistic Treasure Coast. Landrace strains are prized for geographic provenance. Use the filters above to narrow by type, region, and attribute.
Are all these strains legal to buy?
Psilocybe cubensis spores are legal for microscopy and research in most U.S. states because they contain no psilocybin; California, Georgia, and Idaho restrict them. Gourmet and medicinal spores are legal nationwide. Check the state-by-state spore-law guide before ordering.
Do different cubensis strains look different under the microscope?
No. Psilocybe cubensis spores are nearly identical across varieties under the microscope. Strains differ by geographic provenance and the phenotype of the fruit body, not by spore morphology.
This page is general information for microscopy, taxonomy, and research, not legal or cultivation advice. Psilocybe spores contain no psilocybin and are sold for microscopy and research only; germinating them is illegal in most jurisdictions. Confirm your local law before purchasing.
