Psilocybe Natalensis has been getting a lot of attention recently. As this species is studied further, researchers have found that this is most likely a new species discovered in South Africa, and circulating in the United States. The genetics PNW Spore offers is Psilocybe ochraceocentrata, aff. Natalensis. The “aff.” description is intended to label the species as new or not yet defined. This species of Natalensis Super Strain is found to be closer related to cubensis than Psilocybe Natalensis, and more research is currently taking place to clearly identify this exciting new strain.

The differentiating physical characteristics discovered during sequencing of the actual Psilocybe Natalensis include the loss of pigmentation at maturity, fewer spores dropped, which are more elongated than ochraceocentrata spores. The fruits of Psilocybe ochraceocentrata produce medium size caps that leave dark, dense spore prints.

PNW Spore will continue to keep tabs on current research to see how this new species is categorized!

Spore Strain Origin

This rare Psilocybe natalensis, also known as Natal SS, was first collected in 1995 amid the lush subtropical Indian Ocean coastline of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The original specimen was thought to be a newly discovered Psilocybe cubensis variety, however, after genetic sequencing, it was found to have its own characteristics. Update: New research is currently taking place to help define the differences between actual Psilocybe Natalensis and Psilocybe chraceocentrata aff. Natalensis.

Syringe vs. Print: What's Best?

A spore syringe is a medical-grade syringe filled with mushroom spores suspended in sterilized distilled water; they’re easy to work with and ready for use right out of the box.

A spore print is the direct deposit of spores left by placing a mushroom cap onto a sterile surface like glass, foil, or paper. Prints can be stored long-term and utilized when needed. (Hydration of spores happens when put in a syringe, but there are other uses as well.)

For beginner researchers, syringes are the recommended starting point, with no prep work required. Explore the PNW Spore print collection to compare options.
