Psilocybe tampanensis Spore | mushroom spore

Psilocybe tampanensis spore Pollock P. tampanensis magic mushroom spore vials are produced under sterile conditions and should be kept dark and refrigerated (2-8°C) to increase the shelf life of the spores.

Vial vs. Syringes

Spore vials are superior to the spore syringes in most fields. Get the best results when cultivating Pollock P. tampanensis magic mushrooms with this quality spore vial. Using spore vials will result in a higher success rate in the colonization and fruiting process.

Reasons to go Vial:

• Longer shelf life than most spore syringes (2 years vs 6 months)
• It’s easier to get ALL spores out of the container.
• Spore vial solution has over a 1000 grow parts per milliliter, versus 500 g.p.p. ml or even less in most syringes.
• Professional look and feel
• Takes up less space
• Easier to transport

Contents

• 1x Glass Vial with 10ml Pollock P. tampanensis tampanensis spore solution
• 1x Sterile 10ml Syringe
• 2x Alco Preps

Instructions to use a Pollock P. tampanensis spore vial

The vials have a top with a round elastic film.

Shake the Pollock P. tampanensis spore vial energetically to spread the spores equally all through the vial. Eliminate the defensive plug top from the head of the vial and disinfect the septa with an alco prep. Unload the sterile needle and eliminate the defensive top from the needle. Insert the needle of the needle through the septa.

The purpose of the needle ought to be lowered in the spore arrangement. Pull back the unclogger of the needle gradually so the needle will load up with spore solution. Just 3 milliliter of spore arrangement is expected to colonize 1 liter/1.05 quart of substrate. After having filled the needle with the necessary measure of spore arrangement, gradually take out the needle from the vial.

To continue from here to the vaccination cycle, there are a few techniques to browse:

Dropping the spore solution onto the substrate | Psilocybe tampanensis spore

After having prepared your own substrate or cakes, you can drop the Pollock P. tampanensis spore solution directly from the syringe onto this. Press the plunger slowly so that dropplets of spore solution will come out of the needle. Every dropplet that will be in contact with the substrate is a potential mycelium growth point. Spread out these dropplets over the substrate evenly to colonize the substrate with mycelium.

Injection through injection ports

This is almost identical as dropping the spore solution onto the substrate. Open the injection port by pulling back the port protection cap. Use a alco prep to sterilize the injection port entry. Pierce the opening with the needle. Now drop the spore solution evenly over the substrate inside the spawn bag or grow box.

Liquid culture for faster colonization and stronger mycelium

While infusing the Pollock P. tampanensis spore arrangement in a ‘shower of supplements, for example, the Liquid Culture Growth Medium, the spores will shape into mycelium inside this fluid suspension. This is called fluid culture or LC for short. Fluid Culture Growth Medium itself can be utilized to vaccinate substrate and cakes. Fluid culture development medium has a higher achievement rate and will be considerably more solid than attempting to grow the spores without the utilization of  LC. In short: Using LCs will expand the opportunity on mushrooms.

Note: The Liquid Culture Growth Medium won’t function admirably with our spore needles.

Study spores and research using a microscope

The wondrous world of the spores. Many of our customers are scientists, doing research on these differences in a homemade laboratory. After having prepared your microscope slide, drop some of the Pollock P. tampanensis spore solution on it. Cover the specimen with a microscope covering glass. The best magnification for Psilocybe tampanensis and Panaeolus cyanescens spore research is a magnification of 1000x or higher.

The syringe and reusing it

After using the syringe to inoculate the substrate, cake, or LC  with Pollock P. tampanensis, you can reuse the empty syringe after you have sterilized the needle. This can be done with a spirit burner or lighter. Burn the needle by keeping it in the flame long enough to make it glow orange. Let it cool down before you insert the needle again. Instead of reusing one, you can also order a sterile needle separately.

Storage

Store the Pollock P. tampanensis vial in the refrigerator between 2°C – 8°C or 35°F – 46°F. Leave the ‘septa protecting stopper cap’ in place when storing the vial. After removing this protective cap, always sterilize the septa with an alco prep before you insert the syringe.
