Z-Strain Spore Swab Pack

Disclaimer

When buying Z-Strain (Cubensis), be aware that they’re considered “active spores” which are for microscopy purposes only. DO NOT CONTACT US ABOUT ANYTHING REGARDING CULTIVATING OR GERMINATING ACTIVE SPORES. EVEN IF IT IS LEGAL OR DECRIMINALIZED IN YOUR CITY/STATE/COUNTRY- WE ARE REGISTERED IN ARIZONA WHERE IT IS NOT LEGAL AND IT IS STILL FEDERALLY ILLEGAL TO CULTIVATE OR GERMINATE ACTIVE SPORES. 

Shipping is unavailable to California, Idaho, & Georgia. These 3 states strictly prohibit the possession of spores from psilocybin and psilocin producing mushroom species. We will refuse and void any orders made to these 3 states. Furthermore, any payments made for orders to CA, ID, or GA will incur a $5 cancellation fee. 

The provided images are for informational and educational purposes only and are used as a reference point only. We acquire all images and spores from outside, trusted sources in a legal manner. We also do not condone or participate in the cultivation of psilocybin or psilocin producing mushroom species. 

When you buy Z-Strain swabs, visibility is dependent on the characteristics of the spores themselves. As a result, not all spore swabs will look the same visibly. Despite any visible differences, they are still viable for microscopy research.

Z-Strain Spore Information

Despite the actual origin of this variety being unknown, Z-Strain has become one of the best and most well known Cubensis genetics on the market. Some say it was first found on a pile of dung in the Hawaiian islands and was isolated in a lab. Others say that a mycologist named The Keeper (same mycologist who isolated Creeper) isolated Z-Strain from Golden Teachers. Another popular theory is that Lipa, a user on Shroomery, created Z-Strain spores by crossing Mazatapec and Thai Lipa Yai (both Cubensis varieties). 

In our opinion, the mystery behind the beginnings of Z-Strain makes it even more fun to work with and study! Whichever origin story you believe, if any, one thing is for sure- these genetics belong in every researcher’s library. They’re great for beginner and advanced researchers alike because Z-Strain spores are easy to work with but also provide results that pack a punch! They can also handle a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels and still generate robust and healthy research.

Microscopic Features

Z-Strain spores can vary in color from dark purple to black. They’re are subellipsoid (ellipse) shaped and they are present on a 4-spored basidia. The caps range from 40-60mm in diameter with a convex to conic shape. Generally, Z-Strain Mushrooms leave behind very dark prints which makes them excellent for providing future research specimens.
