The grower's favourite — now correctly named. Known for years as “NSS”, “Super Natal” or “Transkei”, this is the variety that fills tubs faster than almost anything else in our catalogue. We’ve relabelled it to its proper species name, Psilocybe ochraceocentrata, but the genetics are the same vigorous Cloud920 isolate customers have trusted for years.
Each 10 ml syringe contains a lab-isolated, contamination-tested mycelium suspension ready for grain inoculation. Filled in our ISO-7 clean lab and sealed with an alcohol-wiped luer-lock cap.
What you get
- Very fast, aggressive colonisation — one of the quickest cubensis-relatives
- High contamination resistance — forgiving for intermediate growers
- Large, wavy, clustered fruits with pale caps and a distinctive ochre-yellow umbo
- Strong visuals, energetic, mentally clear experience

Quick cultivation guide
- Inject 1.5–2 ml into sterilised grain (rye, oats, millet)
- Incubate at 24–27 °C — expect visible growth in 3–5 days
- Shake to break at 30–50 % colonisation
- Transfer to pasteurised bulk (coir/vermiculite, CVG) at full colonisation
- Fruit at 22–24 °C, 90–95 % RH, indirect light
No casing layer needed — this variety pins reliably on its own.
