Dutch King (Mexican) Spore Syringe - Psilocybe cubensis, 20 ml
The Dutch King (Mexican) is a Psilocybe cubensis strain that originates from Mexico, but has been cultivated in the Netherlands for so many years that the local variant has built its own reputation. The mycelium of this strain produces enormous yields under a wide range of conditions, making it popular among growers researching growth behaviour and spore morphology under the microscope. This spore syringe contains 20 ml of spore suspension in sterile water, ready to use in a syringe so you don't need to fill one separately.
Spores themselves contain no psilocybin or psilocin; those active compounds only form later in the mycelium and the mushroom itself. This spore syringe is therefore supplied exclusively for microscopic research and identification purposes, not for growing mushrooms for consumption - which is not permitted in the Netherlands for Psilocybe cubensis.
Usage
Clean the work surface and your hands before opening the syringe, and disinfect the needle with an alcohol wipe before use. Shake the syringe briefly before removing the cap, so the spores are evenly distributed through the suspension. Use the syringe to apply a small drop of suspension to a clean slide for examination under the microscope.
Growing conditions (mycelium, for reference)
- Substrate: compost, grains, pasteurised manure and hay
- Temperature during colonisation: 28-30°C
- Temperature during fruiting: 22-26°C
Storage
Store the syringe upright, in the dark and refrigerated between 2 and 8°C, for example at the bottom of the fridge. Do not freeze the suspension: ice crystals damage the spores. Reseal the syringe immediately after use to prevent contamination of the remaining suspension.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this syringe to grow mushrooms for consumption?
No, this spore syringe is intended exclusively for microscopic research and identification. Growing Psilocybe cubensis for consumption is not permitted in the Netherlands.
What's the difference between Dutch King and other cubensis strains in the range?
Each strain, such as the Ecuador variety also in our range, has its own origin and reputation in terms of yield and spore morphology. Dutch King is known for its Mexican origin and the large yields the strain shows under varying conditions during microscopic research.
