Psilocybe Tampanensis “Pollock” Spores

Psilocybe Tampanensis "Pollock" variety is named after the mycologist who discovered it in 1977, Steven Pollock, in Tampa (Florida).

It was the first strain that was shown to be capable of producing sclerotia, or magic truffles. It stands out for producing large crops, both truffles and mushrooms, and its growing is not very difficult. Now you can grow them at home with these spores.
