LuLu Spore Swab

Description

LuLu is a hybrid species variety. Psilocybe ochraceocentrata and Jack Frost (Psilocybe cubensis) were crossed.
Monokaryons from each species were mixed, clamp connections verified under the microscope and this resulted in “Yellow Umbo”. LuLu is an offshoot from the Yellow Umbo project that had albino and leucistic properties from the Jack Frost. Yoshi was the originator of these new hybrids.

The LuLu offered here is unknown in the Filial generation; however, has some traits that can be expected.
Spores are not deposited (does not print effectively) and are swabbed directly from the gills. A very small amount of spore material is released and is visible at the junction of the cap and stem, but overall this variety is swab only for spores.
The pins appear canonical in appearance with dark brown caps; however, as they mature they lose most of the color in the caps and seem to fix on a pale yellow. Leucistic and albino genetics may be possible to be seen as well
The stipes show gnarling near the cap/step junction that is common with PE varieties- likely the Jack Frost genetics coming through.

Spore swabs are for microscopy/art/collection purposes only as specified in the TOS.
Spore swabs are sterile medical swabs covered in spores and wrapped in foil. Spore swabs are sold as singles.
This variety was swabbed directly, so there is a chance for contamination. All efforts were taken by the spore supplier to produce and package the swabs with as little contamination exposure as possible, but be mindful when viewing under the scope.
Spore swabs are sent in a ziplock bag with “Microscopy use only” written on the ziplock.
Spore swabs will be labelled with an acronym for the variety or with the full variety name or, if it is a single swab, the ziplock may be labelled.
Due to environmental, genetic, and other conditions, the phenotype contained within the spores may be different than the collector’s card image. All varieties, especially mutant ones, are vetted to ensure the correct genetics are being sold.
