Golden Teacher Spore Swab

Golden Teacher Spore Swab – Clean Psilocybe cubensis Spores for Scientific Research

The Golden Teacher spore swab delivers a premium, sterile collection of Psilocybe cubensis spores, carefully harvested from one of the most iconic and widely studied strains in the world of psychoactive fungi. Known for its distinct golden caps and reliable fruiting traits, Golden Teacher is a frequent subject of microscopic and taxonomic research thanks to its recognizable morphology and extensive genetic documentation.

Each swab is taken from mature fruiting bodies under sterile lab conditions and packaged in a sealed plastic tube to maintain spore integrity. This format is ideal for researchers, educators, and mycology enthusiasts seeking to explore the detailed spore characteristics of a well-established species.

Golden Teacher is prized for its large, dark-colored spores, making it an excellent specimen for slide preparation, photomicrography, and comparative fungal studies. Whether used in institutional settings or by private researchers, this spore swab is a clean, accessible gateway into the microscopic world of P. cubensis.

This product is intended strictly for microscopic research, taxonomic documentation, and scientific education. Researchers and students can explore:

• Spore morphology (shape, color, wall structure, germ pores)
• Comparative taxonomy within the Psilocybe genus
• Photodocumentation for scientific publications or spore atlases
• Slide preparation for microscopy demonstrations in academic settings

Each swab provides enough spore material to prepare multiple slides and may be stored for archival research under cool, dry conditions.

Instructions for Microscopy Use

1. Prepare Your Workspace:
2. • Ensure a clean and sterile working area to maintain the purity of the spore print.
   • Use sterile gloves, tools (scalpel, tweezers), and clean microscope slides.
2. Preparing the Microscope Slide:
3. • Carefully open the spore swab's protective packaging.
   • Using a sterile scalpel, gently scrape a small section of spores onto a clean microscope slide.
3. Applying the Cover Slip:
4. • Place a glass cover slip over the spores to distribute them evenly.
   • Optionally, add a small drop of sterile water or a staining solution to improve spore visibility.
4. Observation Under Microscope:
5. • Use a microscope with 400x–1000x magnification for a clear and detailed view.
   • Golden Teacher spores are elliptical, smooth, and dark purple to brown in pigmentation.
   • Document spore dimensions, surface texture, and arrangement for taxonomy research.
5. Documenting Your Findings:
6. • Record spore morphology, including size, shape, and pigmentation.
   • Compare observations to reference materials for classification and study.
