Description
History & Origins
Albino A+ is a variant of the popular A+ strain, selectively cultivated for its pale appearance and consistent traits. While its exact origins remain uncertain, it’s widely respected in the microscopy community for its distinctive look and reliable spore production. The mutation responsible for its lack of pigmentation does not affect the strain’s structural traits, making it both fascinating and practical for study.
Growth Characteristics
Albino A+ mushrooms feature thick, white stems and pale caps that often appear bluish or silvery under certain lighting. As the mushrooms mature, the caps may remain convex or slightly flatten, depending on environmental conditions. Stems typically bruise blue when disturbed, an indicator of psilocybin presence.
This strain is moderately sized but known for its uniform growth patterns and moderate spore output, making it ideal for both new and experienced researchers.
Microscopic Features
Albino A+ spores exhibit typical P. cubensis traits under magnification:
- Shape: Ellipsoid with smooth walls
- Size: Approx. 11–17 × 7–12 µm
- Colour: Dark purple to black, despite the visual appearance of the fruiting body
- Surface Texture: Smooth and easy to identify under the microscope
Cultivation Notes
Albino A+ is favoured for its reliable performance on a wide range of substrates, including brown rice flour, coir, and manure-based mixes. It typically colonises at a steady rate and produces uniform flushes. Although not as fast-growing as strains like B+, its visual uniqueness and stability make it a standout for research purposes.
Instructions for Use
How to Use the Albino A+ Spore Syringe
- Unscrew the syringe end cap
- Attach the sterile needle securely
- Inject the spore solution as required for microscopy
- Remove the needle and discard responsibly
How to Store Your Albino A+ Spore Syringes
To preserve viability, store spore syringes in a cool, dark place. Ideal storage temperature: 2–8 °C (standard fridge).
Avoid freezing, as this can damage the spores.
Can Albino A+ Spore Syringes Be Reused?
Yes. To reuse:
- Replace the needle cap after first use
- Store the syringe at 2–8 °C, away from children and direct light
- Always use a new sterile needle for reuse
- Never sterilise used needles with heat—this can compromise your sample
Replacement needles available for purchase.
