Tasmanian mushroom strain (TAS)
- Species
- Psilocybe cubensis
- Also called
- Tas, Tazmanian (variant spelling reported by Mushly)
- Family
- Classic cubensis
Origin
A seller claims it was found in Tasmania, possibly in colder regions, but gives no collector or date. Mushly reports conflicting seller attributions, including “BIO” and John Allen, without verification. An Australian factsheet says the Tasmania-origin story is a myth linked to a commercial cultivar name and notes that Tasmania is outside the species’ usual outdoor fruiting range.
Appearance
No Tasmanian-specific appearance is documented in the sources. The Australian factsheet describes P. cubensis generally as variable, with caps ranging from red-brown to yellow-grey and white stems; these species-level traits do not identify the Tasmanian label.
Cultivation
The vendor rates its recommended expertise as beginner/intermediate (2–5 on a 1–10 scale), but the sources provide no Tasmanian-specific cultivation data.
Reported effects
No effects specific to Tasmanian are reported in the provided sources.
Good to know
The Tasmanian trade name is distinct from Psilocybe tasmaniana, a separately described species; microscopy of P. cubensis spores cannot verify the Tasmanian label or a claimed Tasmanian origin.
