The Psilocybe Tampanensis Pollock Spore Syringe offers an incredible opportunity to study the historical and rare Psilocybe tampanensis species. The spores are direct descendants of the original 1977 collection made by Steven Pollock in Tampa, Florida, known for forming sclerotia—also called "philosopher’s stones." These spores were once considered extremely rare but are now recognized as synonymous with Psilocybe atlantis from Georgia due to recent genetic studies. This collection is ideal for microscopy and taxonomy enthusiasts interested in studying the origins and evolution of this remarkable species.
Each sterile syringe is filled with spores suspended in an aqueous solution, and a 1.5-inch 16ga needle is included for accurate and safe inoculation. Explore the fascinating world of Psilocybe tampanensis with this easy-to-use spore syringe.
