Discover Panaeolus cambodginiensis, a fascinating and stable collection from Brooksville, Florida, available for educational and microscopy purposes. This strain was previously misidentified as Panaeolus tropicalis, but after careful study, it has been reclassified based on its distinctive features. It is now considered a separate species, highly valued for its low genetic variability and consistent characteristics.
Product Features:
Spores in Sterile Aqueous Solution: Supplied in 10cc BD Luer-Lok syringes, complete with a 1.5in 16ga needle for easy inoculation. Strain Details:
Habitat: Grows in manure and enriched soils, thriving in tropical and subtropical environments.
Climate: Prefers tropical to subtropical climates, similar to other Panaeolus species.
Strain Origin: Originally collected in Brooksville, Florida, USA.
Physical Characteristics:
Cap: The caps range from 10-25 mm (occasionally up to 29 mm) in diameter. They start as brown to very dark brown pins and mature to grey-brown, often darker in the center. Occasionally, they may feature a scalloped margin.
Stem: Stems measure approximately 80-100 mm long and 1.5-3 mm thick, typically yellowish.
Gills: The gills are adnexed, featuring 3-4 tiers of intermediate gills, adding to the complexity of this strain.
Spores: The spores measure 11-13 microns, with a black deposit that is somewhat transparent under magnification. Most basidia are 4-spored, with occasional 2-spored basidia.
Additional Notes:
Stability: This strain is highly domesticated and exhibits low genetic variability, making it particularly stable in cultivation.
Species Confusion: Initially, this collection was confused with Panaeolus tropicalis due to similar spore sizes. However, after further research and taxonomic review, it has been confirmed as Panaeolus cambodginiensis.
