Panaeolus Cinctulus Spore Print

Panaeolus Cinctulus, also known as the banded mottlegill, also known as Panaeolus subbalteatus, weed Panaeolus, belted panaeolus, or subbs, is a widely distributed psilocybin mushroom. According to American naturalist and mycologist David Arora, Panaeolus cinctulus is considered the most common psilocybin mushroom in California. In the early 1900s, people called these species the “weed Panaeolus” as they frequently appeared in beds of commercially grown Agaricus bisporus mushrooms. Mushroom farmers had to remove it from the edible mushrooms due to its hallucinogenic properties.

The Panaeolus cinctulus spore print offers researchers a clear, high-density sample for studying one of the more commonly encountered species in the Panaeolus genus. This print is prepared under sterile lab conditions and sealed for long-term stability, making it well-suited to microscopy coursework, taxonomic comparison, and genetic research.

Visual & Microscopic Characteristics: Under magnification, Panaeolus cinctulus spores typically appear smooth-walled, lemon-shaped (citriform), and dark brown to black, with a visible germ pore at one end — a key identifying feature researchers use to distinguish this species from look-alikes in the field.

Research Notes: Panaeolus cinctulus is frequently studied for its distribution patterns in manured/composted habitats and is a useful comparative species when documenting genus-level spore morphology differences across Panaeolus and related genera.
