A+ Albino spore print

Looking for a spore print that truly stands out in your collection? The Albino A+ is a leucistic Psilocybe cubensis variety with ghostly white fruiting bodies and dark, clearly visible spores, making it a favourite among dedicated collectors and microscopy enthusiasts.

Why Serious Collectors Choose This Print

Many spore prints on the market are an afterthought: mass-produced, poorly stored, and shipped without any verification. You never really know if the spores are still viable or if unwanted contaminants have already compromised the sample. That uncertainty costs you time, money, and valuable research opportunities.

We take a different approach. Every Albino A+ spore print we offer is produced in our sterile laboratory. Prints are taken from freshly matured fruiting bodies inside a controlled environment, deposited on sterile aluminium foil or between glass plates, sealed immediately, and kept refrigerated until dispatch. Before a batch is released, we test a small sample in-house to confirm germination, so you can build your spore library with confidence.

About the Albino A+ Strain

The Albino A+ (often abbreviated as AA+) is one of the most recognisable Psilocybe cubensis varieties. Its pale, almost white appearance is the result of a leucistic mutation that reduces pigment in the fruiting body while still producing dark spores. This combination of light-coloured mushrooms and dark spore prints makes the strain both visually unique and practical to work with under the microscope.

Unlike strains that come directly from wild collections, the Albino A+ is a cultivated lineage refined over many generations. It is appreciated by researchers who are interested in phenotype variation, pigmentation pathways and comparative morphology within the cubensis species group.

Key Morphological Features

• Cap: Pale white to slightly creamy; bell-shaped when young, flattening with age, often with a small central bump.
• Stem: Slender, white to off-white, typically bruising blue when handled.
• Spores: Dark purple-brown, forming a dense and clearly visible spore print.
• Spore print colour: Dark brown to nearly black, very easy to see and work with on foil.

Ideal for Microscopy and Collections

Because the Albino A+ combines reduced pigmentation in the fruiting body with strong spore production, it is particularly interesting for microscopy work and for anyone building a diverse spore library. Its distinctive look and reliable spore output also make it a popular starting point for enthusiasts who are interested in long-term genetics preservation and comparative research with other cubensis varieties.

What You Receive

• One Albino A+ Psilocybe cubensis spore print on sterile aluminium foil
• Sealed in a sterile zip-lock bag
• Produced and handled in a controlled, sterile lab environment
• Refrigerated from production until shipment to help protect viability

Storage Advice

Store your spore print in a cool, dark place, preferably in a refrigerator at 2–8 °C. When stored correctly, spore prints can remain viable for years, making them an excellent format for long-term archiving and collection building.
