Lab Clearance – Pinning Agar Cultures
A limited number of agar cultures have begun showing early pin formation during storage.
While these cultures remain healthy, viable, and suitable for transfers and further work, they no longer meet our standard for regular inventory and are therefore being offered at a reduced price.
Receive 40% OFF select varieties while supplies last.
These cultures are sold as-is and are available in limited quantities.
As always, we remain committed to providing fresh, high-quality cultures and appreciate your support as we continue refining our production processes.
The Genetics you need to grow mushrooms
The True Albino Teacher (TAT) magic mushroom variety is especially interesting, as it is not a hybrid, but instead an Albino mutation of Golden Teacher, one of the most renowned Cubensis varieties. This variety was first isolated by a cultivator who goes by the name of JikFibs, but not much else is known about its origins.
TAT has been refined by several cultivators over the years, and is now a quite stable genetic that even from spore will reliably produce the vivid-white caps that this strain is known for. It also retains some of the most desired qualities of its parent (Golden Teacher), like above-average potency, good yield, and resistance to contamination. Spores Lab has further increased the strength of our TAT cultures, and this genetic now also boasts exceptionally fast colonization.
Feedback found online, from the likes of Shroomery and various SubReddit communities, reports that the experience elicited after consuming TAT is similar to Golden Teacher, a relaxing, introspective, and often spiritually charged experience.
Aesthetically, this strain typically produces medium-large sized mushrooms, with thick, dense stems and large pale white caps, often split at the margins. Sporulation is moderate, and spores are white (making this a true albino strain, not a leucystic strain).
