Psilocybe tampanensis

Psilocybe tampanensis – The Philosopher’s Stone of Mycology

First discovered in 1977 by mycologist Stephen Pollock near Tampa, Florida, Psilocybe tampanensis has become one of the most sought-after species in the mycology world. Pollock’s discovery came while skipping a “boring mycological conference” to explore local pastures—an adventure that led to the uncovering of one of the rarest wild Psilocybe species known.

Capable of producing sclerotia (commonly referred to as “truffles”), Psilocybe tampanensis is prized for its unique growth characteristics and historical significance. Since its discovery, the species has only been found once more in the wild—in Mississippi—making every modern culture a direct descendant of Pollock’s original find.

Our Tampanensis “Truffle Producer” Isolated Spore Syringe is expertly prepared for microscopy research, ensuring genetic stability and high-quality observation results.
