Description
The Starry Night mushroom, a visually striking and rare variety within the Psilocybe cubensis species, stands out as a notable example of successful crossbreeding in mycology. It is a cross between the Albino Penis Envy and Inca Stargazer strains, combining their unique traits into a single entity. This hybridization has resulted in Starry Night being regarded by some as one of the most aesthetically appealing albinos to date. Its physical characteristics, influenced by its distinctive lineage, showcase a blend of beauty and rarity that is rare in the fungal world.
In terms of size, Starry Night mushrooms tend to be on the smaller side. Their caps, measuring between one to two inches in diameter (up to about 50 millimeters), exhibit a convex shape that evolves in color from a light to dark gray as the mushrooms mature. This gradation in coloration adds to their visual appeal. The cap’s flesh is white, providing a stark contrast to the changing hues of the cap’s surface, which is dry and features spots – remnants of the mushroom’s universal veil. The stems of Starry Night can grow to approximately five inches in length and possess a pale yellow color that stands out against the white background of the mushroom’s overall palette. This combination of physical attributes makes the Starry Night an alluring and unique specimen in the realm of psychedelic mushrooms.

Usage
How to use a mushroom liquid culture syringe:
- Prepare the work area: Before you begin, ensure your workspace is clean and sanitized. You will need a clean surface to rest the syringe on and safe disposal for any used materials.
- Handle the syringe with care to avoid any accidental spills or contamination.
- Prepare the solution: Open the mushroom liquid culture syringe and make sure that the aqueous solution is clear, other than the mycelium. If the aqueous solution is cloudy, discard it and start with a new one.
- Prepare a microscopy slide or sanitize the area to be penetrated by the dispensing needle
- Dispense a small amount of the solution onto a microscopy slide, or inject 1 milliliter into the container you will use through a self-healing injection port.
Tips and Tricks for successful usage
- Always be as clean as possible.
- Wear clean clothing.
- Practice good oral hygiene.
- Wear new gloves every time.
- Wipe all surfaces, including gloves, with disinfectant.
- Do not introduce un-sanitized items into a sanitized work area.
Advantages of a liquid culture syringe over a spore syringe
A liquid culture syringe has a significant advantage over a spore syringe in terms of the time you do not have to wait for germination. A liquid culture syringe will save you weeks to months in your endeavor. Another advantage is that liquid cultures can be advanced genetic isolates that can outperform spores. Thick Spores sells only genetically isolated LC.
Shelf Life & Storage
Liquid Culture syringes have a shelf life of approximately three months before the nutrient broth becomes depleted of nutrients. Therefore, you must either use the LC before three months or transfer the mycelium in the syringe to a new and sterile medium with fresh nutrients.
