The Koh Samui Super Strain has been one of our best sellers ever since we introduced it at The Hawks Eye. We helped fund a trip for Enthomycologist John Allen and -Clyde- to find us spores to new mushrooms strains from Thailand and Cambodia and they came back with some jewels. In fact most of the Thailand cubensis mushroom spores floating around the internet originated from this adventure and we use to sell many varieties of spores from Thailand cubes, such as the Pink Buffalo, Lipa Yai, and Lamai Beach to name a few. In the end we narrowed it down to one as there is only so many spores you can keep in stock and keep the spores rotating and fresh.

Magic Mushrooms are very popular in Thailand and a normal part of their culture. You will find art work in many places in Thailand with magic mushrooms in the art. Many different sub tropical species of psilocybe mushrooms grow wild in Thailand which is why they are so easy to find their.

In Koh Samui and other places they have the full moon festivals at beach bars where shrooms and mushroom tea are passed around freely. Thailand is a tropical climate with plenty of cattle around to lay down the dung in the grasslands for mushrooms to thrive. There is a picture of the shroom field in Koh Samui this strain was picked from. Perhaps it’s time to make our own full moon festival.

Spore Taxonomy
Cubensis Spore Taxonomy	Microscopic Features: Spores dark purplish brown to violet brown in deposit, subellipsoid, 11.5-17 by 8-11 u. Basidia 2- or 3-spores, but usually 4-spored. Pleurocystidia nearly pear shaped, sometimes mucronate, 18-30 by 6-13 u. Cheilocystidia fusoid-ventricose with an obtuse or subcapitate apex, sometimes sublageni form, 17-32 by 6-10 , with the narrow necks 3-5 u broad. One rare cubensis strains named Columbia “rust spore” actually drops almost reddish rust colored spores but this strain is very unique! We do carry spores of that strain from time to time.

I WISH I was allowed to post a picture of the MULTIPLE flushes of this KSSS. It produced larger and larger and LARGER fruitbodies. They're prolific and spot on as a representation of what this straim should look like. Hands down, the best KSSS out there.
