Mazatapec Culture Ampoule Set

Delivery: this product ships to the Netherlands only.

The Mazatapec culture ampoule set contains a living mushroom culture in a sealed ampoule, together with a sterile syringe and the producer's manual. It is a live product and has to be kept refrigerated.

What the Mazatapec culture ampoule is

A culture ampoule holds living mycelium, not spores. The producer says this gives a lower risk of contamination than spore prints or spore syringes.

The pack names the species as Psilocybe Mayiescens. Strain references and a scientific review of cubensis strains list Mazatapec as a variety of Psilocybe cubensis.

Strain references connect the name with the Mazatec people of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. Readers outside Mexico first learned of Mazatec mushroom ceremonies in 1957. One reference cautions that nobody has settled whether this cultivated line is the mushroom the Mazatec used. Another treats Mazatapec as a label for stock that started from spore prints visitors took from the region, not as one fixed genetic line. Spore collectors were already trading it in the 1980s and 1990s, a third reports.

What is in the pack

• 1 culture ampoule with Mazatapec culture, closed with a cap and a rubber seal
• 1 syringe with needle, in sterile packaging
• The producer's manual with instructions in five steps

Storage and shelf life

The producer advises storing the ampoule at 2 to 4 °C. Refrigerated, it keeps for about 6 months. Outside the refrigerator its shelf life is limited, so put it in the fridge as soon as it arrives. Keep the syringe in its sterile packaging until you need it, and follow the manual for everything else.

Legal status and responsible use

The legal status of this product differs from country to country, and you are responsible for checking the law where you live. It is sold to adults aged 18 and over only.

The producer warns that mushrooms of this variety naturally contain psilocybin and psilocin, and that the product must always be kept out of reach of children.
