Description

Pink Buffalo is also sometimes referred to as “Thai Pink Buffalo”.  This Cubensis strain was brought back from Koh Samui by ethnomycologist John Allen (also credited with the Koh Samui and Cambodian strains). Mushroom John named the Pink Buffalo such because it was first spotted next to a grazing pink buffalo.

How do I store Pink Buffalo spores?

Spores should be stored in a cool, dark and dry environment. You can also store spores in the fridge (just make sure the syringe is in a clean zip-lock bag such as the packaging the spores are sent in).

Can I freeze my Pink Buffalo spore syringe?

DO NOT allow spores to freeze. This is not as you would rightly be guessing that it is a bummer to have to wait for your syringe to defrost before being able to view the spores under the microscope. The issue is that the spore cells will burst as the water expands on freezing.

How long can I keep my Pink Buffalo spore syringe before using?

Spore syringes should be ideally used as soon as possible. If stored correctly the spores will be fine for 6 months. The longer you leave the spore syringe the more chance of contamination being present when viewing under the microscope.

Can I reuse my Pink Buffalo spore syringe if I have some spore solution left?

Yes! The best thing to do is leave the needle on and flame sterilise before storing with the needle cover put back on. DO NOT remove the needle to put the syringe cap back on as this will allow an opportunity for contamination to occur. When you come to use your spore syringe again please flame sterilise again before pushing a small amount of the spore solution out of the needle. You are now able to carry on your microscopic studies.

How do I get my Pink Buffalo spore syringe ready for the microscope?

The aim of the game when viewing spores under the microscope is cleanliness. This means 1) you need to be as clean as possible, 2) your environment needs to be as clean as possible and 3) your equipment needs to be as clean as possible.

For you to be as clean as possible have a shower, wear clean clothes, and give your hands a good clean with 70% isopropyl aclohol (or where sterile gloves).

To work in a clean environment ideally you will be using a Still Air Box or a flow hood. If you do not have access to these then the next best thing is to work in a clean and draft free room. We are trying to eliminate as much as possible the chance of something landing on your slide other than your selected spores.

Give your equipment a good clean with 70% isopropyl alcohol as well. At this point we are ready to re-clean our hands with the alcohol wipe, remove the syringe cap and attach the supplied sterile needle ready for use.

We recommend viewing mushroom spores at a minimum of x400 magnification using a microscope.
