Mazatapec LC Information

Liquid culture syringes (also sometimes called ISO’s) contain mushroom genetics that are more stabilized than normal multispore syringes (MSS). Great care has been taken to isolate the strongest, fastest, and most hardy genetics that will provide vigorous and more consistent research under the microscope. Multispore syringes contain a great deal of genetic diversity, and therefore can present a multitude of different phenotypes. On the other hand, liquid culture syringes have been stabilized in order to present a more uniform phenotype which will provide the most optimized and consistent research.

Mazatapec is a Cubensis variety with a very interesting history. To begin with, it originated in the Oaxaca mountains in central Mexico. The mushroom was ceremoniously used by the Mazatec people, an indigenous group living in the area. They used the mushrooms in sacred ceremonies to connect with spirits and the divine, but also to heal their ailments.

Fast forward to the 1950’s, researcher R. Gordon Wasson traveled to Oaxaca to study and write about the Mazatec tribe and their mushroom ceremonies. While there, he met Maria Sabina, a Mazatec medicine woman. She taught him about the mushrooms and their uses. Soon after, in 1957 Wasson writes an article in TIME magazine about his experiences in Oaxaca, and more importantly about the, magic mushrooms. 

At this point, Mazatapec becomes the first Psilocybin species introduced to the Western world. This fact is why these spores are so popular and should be a part of every spore collector’s library! On top of that, it is great for both novice and advanced researchers.

Microscopic Features

The Mazatapec spore strain have dark purplish to black spores. The spores are subellipsoid (ellipse) shaped and they are present on a 4-spored basidia. The caps are 40-60mm in diameter with a convex to conic shape and are generally dark spore printers.
