Burma Spore Syringes

Description

About Burma Spores

The Burma strain is a historically significant and highly respected member of the Psilocybe cubensis family. Sourced near Yangoon (formerly Rangoon), Myanmar, this strain was originally collected from buffalo dung in a rice paddy. Its connection to ancient Burmese rituals makes it a culturally rich and fascinating subject for research.

History & Origins

The Burma strain was introduced to the Western mycology scene by Mushroom John, after receiving a sample from a Thai student who had been collecting mushrooms in Myanmar. The region’s humid, tropical climate contributes to the strain’s robust genetics and adaptability, making it a highly sought-after subject for research and observation.

Growth Characteristics

In countries where cultivation is legal, Burma is known for producing medium to large mushrooms with pale stems and golden-brown caps. The strain colonises substrates rapidly and tends to produce thick flushes. It performs well on compost, pasteurised straw, and dung-based substrates – offering a wide range of options for study.

Microscopic Features

When viewed under a microscope, Burma spores exhibit classic cubensis features:

• Shape: Ellipsoid and smooth
• Size: Approximately 11–17 × 7–12 µm
• Colour: Deep purple to near-black when densely grouped
• Surface Texture: Clean, symmetrical surface, ideal for detailed microscopy work

Cultivation Notes

In research environments, the ideal colonisation temperature for Burma spores is between 28–30 °C, with fruiting temperatures around 22–25 °C. These parameters support vigorous mycelial development and healthy flushes, providing an excellent model for mycology research.
