What Size Syringe Do I need?

Our bags have a max amount of moisture they can hold, therefore it's important to check how much you need prior to setting up your project! These bags are purpose-made for Gourmet Health Mushroom spores and should be used alongside a bag sealer (for contamination-free second and third harvests) as well as a heat mat or heat chamber to keep the temperatures constant. Please refer to the table below for this information!

Disclaimer

Please note that it is illegal to grow magic mushrooms within the UK. We ask that you do not use these spores to grow mushrooms, but instead use them to study under a microscope. We cannot be held liable for any illegal use of these spores. Please check your local regulations as we cannot be responsible for the laws you should follow in your own country.

Description

South African Transkei Spore Syringe

The South African Transkei is a historically significant cubensis strain collected from the coastal Transkei region of South Africa. It was the first documented Psilocybe cubensis strain discovered growing naturally on the African continent making it a favourite for collectors interested in regional diversity. In countries where cultivation is legal, Transkei is known for producing slender stems, delicate caps and bright white flesh. Under the microscope its spores are clean and well defined, ideal for microscopy study.

Strain Characteristics

  • Native Psilocybe cubensis strain from the Transkei region of South Africa
  • First widely recognised cubensis strain discovered in Africa
  • Reported in legal regions to produce tall slender fruits with pale caps
  • Clear spore prints with strong definition for easy microscopy
  • Popular for collectors documenting global cubensis biodiversity

The Syringe

  • Prepared and securely packed in the UK
  • Includes a sterile 18g needle sealed separately for safe transport
  • Syringe fitted with a protective end cap to prevent leakage during shipping
  • All needles sterilised via gamma irradiation do not attempt further sterilisation as this may introduce contamination

To study, place a drop of South African Transkei spores on a prepared microscope slide and examine under magnification. Expect clean uniform cubensis morphology with excellent clarity, making this strain a rewarding subject for both new and advanced microscopy enthusiasts.


Important: Growing psilocybin mushrooms is illegal in the United Kingdom. These spores are provided strictly for microscopic research and educational purposes only. We do not condone or support illegal activity. Always follow the laws of your country or region.
