Psilocybe Semilanceata Spore Print

Description

Psilocybe Semilanceata Spore Print | The Iconic Liberty Cap

Psilocybe semilanceata, commonly known as the Liberty Cap.  This renowned psilocybin-containing mushroom celebrated for its distinctive appearance and widespread presence in temperate regions. This species is notable for its potency and unique morphology. Making it a subject of interest for mycological research and microscopy studies.

Morphology & Key Features

• Cap Formation – Features a conical to bell-shaped cap with a prominent nipple-like protrusion (papilla) at the apex. The cap is hygrophanous, changing color based on moisture levels, ranging from ochraceous to pale brown when moist to light yellow-brown when dry.

• Gill Structure – Gills are narrow, closely spaced. Exhibit a narrowly adnexed to almost free attachment to the stipe. They transition from pale brown to dark gray or purple-brown as spores mature.

• Spore Characteristics – Produces ellipsoid, smooth spores measuring 10.5–15 by 6.5–8.5 μm. In mass, the spore print appears deep reddish purple-brown.

• Stipe (Stem) Features – The slender stipe measures 45–140 mm in length and 1–3.5 mm in thickness, often slightly thicker towards the base. It is yellowish-brown, sometimes exhibiting bluish hues upon bruising.

• Microscopy-Ready Specimen – Ideal for spore printing, magnification, and detailed research studies.

Ecology & Natural Habitat

• 🌎 Geographic Distribution – Widely distributed across temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, including Europe, North America, and parts of Asia.

• 🌿 Preferred Habitat – Thrives in grassy meadows, pastures, and lawns, particularly in moist, acidic soils.

• 📅 Fruiting Season – Typically fruits during the cool, wet months of autumn, making it a common sight in late summer to early winter.

Quality & Collection Standards

• 🌿 Ethically Collected & Preserved – Each spore print is sourced with strict environmental considerations.

• 🔬 Prepared in Sterile Conditions – All materials undergo HEPA filtration for quality assurance.
