In the Wild:

This noodle-like mushroom was misidentified as a Psilocybe cubensis variety for decades. Legendary mycologist Alan Rockefeller sequenced the DNA of his P. cubensis var “Natalensis” samples and found that they were 7 nucleotides different than true cubensis varieties — officially making Psilocybe natalensis its own species!

P. natalensis (sometimes known as “NSS” or “Natal Super Strength“) are unique, skinny, small-capped mushrooms. High Performance Liquid Chromatography has shown these mushrooms to contain higher-than-average amounts of psilocybin/psilocin when compared to cubensis varieties and strains.

P. natalensis mushrooms hail from the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa.

Storage:

All cubensis syringes should be kept in a fridge between 33-40°F. Do not let your syringes freeze!
While most will survive one freeze-thaw cycle, multiple freeze-thaw cycles will kill any live mycelium.

When stored between 33-40°F, cubensis syringes will remain viable for taxonomy and identification for a minimum of 6 months.

Psilocybe cubensis syringes are intended for microscopy and taxonomy purposes only.
Any mention of cultivation will result in your order being canceled.
