Description
Yeti Spore Swab!
Comes with 2 Yeti spore swabs, so that you’ve got a spare in case you lose one down the sofa!
Yeti Spores – man I love this stuff. Mycology comes in many forms, and the preservation of cool phenotypes is important. How do you get the spores from the mushrooms that are a bit more reluctant to drop them or have clear spores? You use swabs! So the Yeti variant is something that a guy called “Jik Fibs” first isolated, from the TAT (True Albino Teacher) phenotype. Blimey it’s all very complicated. He doesn’t seem to have much of an internet presence at the time of writing this or I’d have added a link but whatever, if you google his name you can find mentions of him in all the usual mycology spaces! Funnily enough he’s in a collectible card game called Stealthy Spores that I am also in, which means he will most likely let me give him a big hug if I ever meet him because we’re practically brothers now.
So why Yeti? Because in the probably completely legal lab where the cool myco dudes were isolating it, they decided that it was big and white, and all the cock-related mushroom names had finally been used up (please note cocks also come in all colours, I am not saying all cocks have to or even should be white), so they were like “motherfucker someone’s already used the name Jack Frost goddamn it what the heck do we do”. They were literally about to throw it all in the bin and sign up for a desk job at the bank when one of them realised that actually, they could just choose a completely different name, and decided on Yeti probably because it’s also a bit ape-like. It’s a good name, I like it, and it’s a nice thing to finally have in stock.
Ideally, keep these Yeti spore swabs somewhere cool and dark, where they will happily last a couple of years at least. Magic mushrooms spores are super hardy, and a drier environment like a spore swab or a print is the best way of ensuring they stay viable for literally years. They’re pretty simple to store. We don’t recommend putting the swab back into storage once you’ve tried to use it as the chance of contamination shoots right up, but if that’s something you want to try then I’m not your boss, go for it. Swabs are a bit harder to use with the microscope than spore syringes, so please make sure you’ve done a fair bit of reading on how to get these onto your microscope slide cleanly!
These Yeti Spore Swabs have been produced in a nice legal country far away from here by a team of super cool lab monkeys, using flowhoods and all the usual jazz in order to make sure that what you see under the microscope is exactly what’s supposed to be there and nothing else – just premium Yeti spores!
