In the lush, biodiverse depths of the Amazon rainforest, a botanical treasure lies hidden among the foliage – the Pacific Exotica Spora Amazonian (P.E.S.A) Mushroom, revered for its remarkable medicinal properties and cultural significance. This extraordinary fungus, known by its scientific name Psilocybe cubensis, captivates with its unique appearance, potent compounds, and profound therapeutic potential.

The Pacific Exotica Spora Amazonian Mushroom is renowned for its myriad medicinal properties, which have been revered by indigenous cultures for centuries and are now garnering attention from modern science. Central to its therapeutic potential are the psychoactive compounds known as psilocybin and psilocin, which interact with serotonin receptors in the brain, producing profound alterations in consciousness.

The strain known by various names like Amazon Strain, Amazonian Cubensis, and PES Amazonia is commonly referred to as PESA. There is some ambiguity regarding whether it is identical to the Amazon strain, as both exhibit similar yet distinct growth characteristics.

PESA is recognized for its exceptionally large fruiting bodies that develop rapidly. Cap sizes can exceed 15 centimeters in diameter, initially reddish-brown and maturing to a golden-brown hue with a convex shape during sporulation. The stems are yellowish-white and exhibit blue-green bruising when handled.

This strain owes its name, PESA (Pacifica Exotica Spora Amazonian), to its initial availability through the Pacifica Exotica Spora vendor. Historically, it was common to incorporate the name of the discovering company into the strain's name, though this practice has diminished.

While some debate persists, it's likely that PESA is a genetic variation isolated from the original Amazon strain. The Amazon Cubensis strain, believed to have been brought to the United States by Terence and Dennis McKenna in the 1970s after exploring the rainforests for psychedelics, has deep roots in indigenous spiritual and healing practices in South and Central America.

Psilocybe cubensis, along with other psychedelic mushroom species, has been integral to these ceremonial traditions for centuries, reflecting their cultural significance and therapeutic potential.

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.
