Explore the Psilocybe cubensis "Tidal Wave" strain, a fascinating hybrid resulting from the cross between the B+ and Penis Envy strains. Known for its unique and sometimes mutant fruit bodies, this strain is an excellent choice for mycology enthusiasts interested in studying hybrid genetics and unusual growth patterns.
Product Features:
Spores in Sterile Aqueous Solution: Provided in 10cc BD Luer-Lok syringes with one 1.5in 16ga needle for convenient inoculation.
Strain Details:
Habitat: Thrives in bovine and equine dung as well as enriched soils, typical of Psilocybe cubensis species.
Climate: Prefers subtropical climates for optimal growth conditions.
Strain Origin: The "Tidal Wave" is a cross between two popular strains, B+ and Penis Envy, developed by Doma. This strain often displays unstable traits, producing unique, sometimes mutant fruit bodies. It is the progenitor of the Brainiac and Enigma strains, known for their sterile, cauliflower-like growth forms.
Physical Characteristics:
Cap: 25-75 mm in diameter, with a hemispheric to convex shape that expands to broadly convex and nearly plane with age. The cap starts dark red and matures to golden brown. The surface is viscid with a gelatinous layer when wet, becoming smooth upon drying. Fine fibrillose veil remnants are present in young fruit bodies, which soon disappear. The flesh is white, bruising bluish-green upon injury.
Stem: 150-200+ mm in length, typically equal but sometimes slightly enlarged at the base or contorted. The stem is yellowish to buff with a reflective sheen and bruises bluish when injured. The stem is hollow and features a membranous partial veil that leaves a persistent membranous annulus.
Gills: Attachment is adnate to adnexed, with a grayish coloration in young fruit bodies that darkens to nearly black at maturity.
Spores: Dark purplish-brown, subellipsoid in shape, measuring 13 by 8 micrometers on 4-spored basidia.
Additional Notes: The Tidal Wave strain is known for its unpredictable appearance, with some fruit bodies displaying mutation-like characteristics. These traits make it an exciting choice for mycologists who enjoy studying genetic variability. Its history as the progenitor of the sterile Brainiac and Enigma strains further showcases its role in mycological innovation.
