The Burma mushroom, a strain of *Psilocybe cubensis*, was first collected from buffalo dung in Burma (now Myanmar). The strain gained popularity due to its robust nature and relatively easy cultivation process, which makes it a favorite among both amateur and professional mycologists. The exact details of its initial discovery are somewhat anecdotal, often attributed to a collector named John Allen, who brought it to the attention of the broader mycology community.

The cap of the Burma mushroom is typically conical to convex when young, flattening out as it matures. Cap diameters can range from 2 to 8 cm, depending on growth conditions. The cap surface is usually a reddish-brown to golden color, which often becomes lighter towards the edges. As the mushroom ages, the cap color can fade, taking on a more yellowish hue. The cap can be slightly sticky to the touch when fresh, with a smooth surface that may develop small scales or cracks in drier conditions.

The gills of the Burma mushroom are adnate to adnexed, meaning they are broadly attached to the stem but not running down it. Initially, the gills are a pale grayish color, turning dark purple-brown as the spores mature.

Stems can range from 4 to 15 cm in length. They are typically about 0.5 to 1.5 cm thick, often becoming thicker towards the base. The stem is usually white to off-white, occasionally showing blue bruising when handled or damaged, which is characteristic of psilocybin-containing mushrooms. The stem surface is smooth to slightly fibrous, with a hollow or pith-filled interior.

The spore print of the Burma mushroom is dark purplish-brown, which is typical of *Psilocybe cubensis* strains.

The Burma mushroom is popular among cultivators due to its vigorous growth and high yield potential. It thrives in a variety of substrates, including brown rice flour (BRF) cakes, grain, and bulk substrates like manure or coir. It is known for its resilience and ability to produce large flushes of mushrooms, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced growers.

Optimal colonization temperatures are between 75-81°F (24-27°C), with fruiting temperatures slightly lower, around 70-75°F (21-24°C). High humidity levels of 90-95% are essential during the fruiting stage. Indirect light or low-intensity lighting is sufficient to trigger fruiting.

The Burma mushroom, like many other *Psilocybe cubensis* strains, is widely known for its psychoactive properties due to its content of psilocybin and psilocin. These compounds produce profound changes in perception, mood, and thought, making the Burma mushroom a popular choice for recreational and spiritual use.

The Burma mushroom is celebrated in psychedelic communities for its potent and reliable effects. Users often report deep, introspective experiences, vivid visual hallucinations, and a strong sense of interconnectedness.

Recent scientific studies have begun to explore the therapeutic potential of psilocybin mushrooms, including strains like Burma. Research suggests potential benefits for conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. The cultural shift towards recognizing the medicinal value of psychedelics has brought the Burma mushroom and its relatives into the spotlight.

Psychedelic mushrooms, including the Burma strain, have influenced various forms of art, music, and literature. They are frequently referenced in works that explore altered states of consciousness and the human mind.

The Burma mushroom is a notable strain of *Psilocybe cubensis* renowned for its robust growth, distinctive phenotypical characteristics, and significant role in both psychedelic culture and emerging therapeutic applications. Its discovery in Burma and subsequent popularity underscores its importance within the mycology community and beyond.

Q.C.

The shipping time for our custom-made culture product is 10 days. This is why:

  • Our method for sending you fresh cultures is a process, differing from most other suppliers with the goal of eliminating contamination which avoids wasting your time and resources. Managing a library of mycology cultures in cold storage is our solution to be efficient given the large number of varieties we have—almost 800.
  • All mycology cultures are maintained in cold storage, which helps preserve their viability and genetic integrity. This is crucial for long-term storage, especially with such a diverse collection.
  •  When a particular culture is ordered, the corresponding culture is retrieved from cold storage. This minimizes the risk of degradation while ensuring that the culture remains viable.
  •  The retrieved culture is then inoculated into both agar plates and liquid culture media. This step allows for the expansion of the culture and provides a suitable environment for growth.
  • After a set incubation period, the cultures undergo a quality check to assess their health, purity, and growth characteristics. This ensures that the cultures are robust and meet your standards before they are sent out.
  • Once the cultures pass the QC, they are prepared for packaging. This involves ensuring that the cultures are securely contained to prevent contamination and damage during transit. Finally, the fresh cultures are shipped to the customer. You will receive an email with tracking information once shipped.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our laboratory quality practices encompass a set of systematic and standardized procedures that are implemented to ensure the accuracy, reliability, and precision of a high-quality product. We view these practices as essential for maintaining the overall quality and integrity of laboratory operations, as well as for providing 100 % pure, contamination free cultures. These practices include:

  • Equipment Calibration: Laboratory instruments and equipment are regularly calibrated to establish and maintain optimum performance. As one example, our flow hoods are routinely tested to provide 0.2 micron filtered laminar air flow at all workstations. Calibration ensures that instruments are providing reliable and consistent outcomes.
  • Quality Assurance (QA): we maintain a quality management system, conduct internal audits, and continuously monitor and evaluate laboratory performance.
  • Quality Control (QC): We use control materials to monitor the accuracy and purity of culture products. Control materials are run alongside culture samples to assess performance of our methods. Any deviations from expected outcomes indicate issues with the process and prompt corrective action.
  • Culture Testing: Quality assessment programs are in place, where each culture is tested on agar petri dishes on a regular interval. Virility of genetics performance is assessed by spot checking the strain in fruiting conditions. 
  • Documentation and Record-Keeping: A crucial component of quality control. This includes documenting instrument maintenance, calibration records, QC data, corrective actions taken, and relevant product information. Proper documentation ensures traceability, allows for retrospective analysis, and facilitates compliance with our standardized process.
  • Personnel Training and Competency: Laboratory staff receive appropriate training to perform their tasks competently. Training programs cover standard operating procedures, safety protocols, good laboratory practices, and quality control procedures. Regular competency assessments are conducted to ensure that staff members consistently perform at the required proficiency level.
  • Error Investigation and Corrective Action: When errors or deviations occur, they are promptly investigated to identify root causes. Corrective actions are implemented to prevent the recurrence of errors and improve laboratory processes. We feel that documentation of errors, investigations, and corrective actions is crucial for continuous improvement and compliance with contamination free product.
  • Quality Control Data Analysis: QC data is regularly analyzed to identify trends, shifts, or any patterns that may indicate a deterioration in process or product performance.

    By implementing these laboratory quality control practices, we can ensure accurate, contamination free products in order to enhance patient safety, and maintain our integrity.
