Spore Genetics Amanita Muscaria Liquid Culture Syringe

The Spore Genetics Amanita Muscaria Liquid Culture Syringe provides a unique opportunity for those interested in cultivating the iconic Amanita Muscaria, a mushroom known for its striking appearance and rich history in various cultural traditions. Scientifically classified under the genus Amanita, this species is characterized by its bright red cap, which can also appear orange or yellow, typically covered in small white warts or bumps. The cap measures between 5-20 cm in diameter, while the stem can grow up to 20 cm tall. The gills are white, and the stem is either white or yellowish, emitting an earthy or musty smell. Amanita Muscaria is commonly found in association with trees like birch and pine, as well as in grassy areas or near roadsides across the temperate and boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in Europe, Asia, and North America.

This syringe contains a live, isolated biological sample that has been meticulously nurtured, tested, and expanded at Spore Genetics to ensure it is 100% contaminate-free. The culture syringe features a high-output isolated sub-strain, optimized for maximum yield and reduced incubation time. Each purchase comes with a sterile, individually packaged hypodermic needle for easy substrate injection, and Spore Genetics guarantees replacements if contamination occurs.

Amanita Muscaria is known for its chemical composition, particularly the psychoactive compounds muscimol and ibotenic acid. Muscimol is a potent GABA agonist, producing both inhibitory and excitatory effects on the brain, while ibotenic acid, a weaker GABA agonist, also contributes to the mushroom's psychoactive properties. In addition to these compounds, Amanita Muscaria contains various amino acids, polysaccharides, and trace minerals, further adding to its unique profile.

With its rich cultural significance and unique physical characteristics, Amanita Muscaria offers a fascinating cultivation project for those interested in mycology and the broader world of mushrooms.
