Description
History & Origins
Originally discovered near the ancient ruins of Teotihuacan, this strain is believed to have been revered in spiritual ceremonies by Aztec priests. With a reputation steeped in mystery, Aztec God spores offer researchers a glimpse into the genetic past of one of the most historically symbolic mushroom strains.
Growth Characteristics
In regions where cultivation is permitted, this strain is known for its dense mycelium and rapid colonisation on substrates like brown rice flour, rye grain, and even nutrient-rich horse manure. It produces medium to large caps with a golden-caramel hue and firm stems. This combination of robust structure and reliable spore production makes it particularly appealing for microscopy and observational study.
Microscopic Features
When studied under magnification, Aztec God spores exhibit:
- Shape: Ellipsoid and symmetrical
- Size: Approximately 11–17 × 7–12 µm
- Colour: Deep violet to nearly black in large clusters
- Surface Texture: Smooth and consistent, perfect for detailed microscopy
Cultivation Notes
Though illegal to cultivate in the UK, this strain is widely discussed in mycological literature for its strong colonisation profile and flexibility across various substrates. It’s well-suited to beginners due to its contamination resistance and consistent performance in controlled research environments.
