Stargazer Spore Print

The Stargazer Mushroom Spore Print from Magic Spore Labs delivers basidiospores from a high-altitude Psilocybe cubensis strain believed to originate in the Chilean Andes — an environment of rich volcanic soils, humid mountain conditions, and significant temperature variation that shapes a spore profile meaningfully distinct from the tropical lowland and subtropical varieties that dominate the cubensis research catalog. Stargazer's Andean origin is reflected directly in its basidiospore morphology: ellipsoid, smooth, and symmetrical spores measuring approximately 12–13 µm × 8 µm, with deep chocolate to purple-brown pigmentation and strong visual contrast that makes them among the most precisely characterized high-altitude cubensis specimens available for microscopy study.

That visual character is part of what has made Stargazer a celebrated research specimen. Its combination of exact spore geometry, vivid pigmentation depth, and symmetric structure renders exceptionally well under both brightfield and DIC microscopy illumination — making it a preferred strain for microscopy photography, educational display work, and comparative taxonomy study alongside tropical and coastal cubensis varieties. For researchers interested in how altitude, volcanic substrate, and mountain climate influence basidiospore wall thickness, pigmentation, and morphological symmetry within Psilocybe cubensis, Stargazer provides a well-documented Andean data point that no lowland strain can replicate.

Magic Spore Labs produces every Stargazer spore print under GMP-aligned sterile conditions on individually sealed sterile aluminum foil substrate. Refrigeration at 2–8°C is recommended for optimal longevity. We ship to researchers across the United States, excluding California, Idaho, and Georgia. All products are sold strictly for microscopy and taxonomy research purposes only.

Key Features

Documented Andean High-Altitude Spore Dimensions

Stargazer basidiospores measure approximately 12–13 µm × 8 µm — ellipsoid, smooth, and symmetrical with deep chocolate to purple-brown pigmentation and strong visual contrast, making them among the most precisely characterized high-altitude Psilocybe cubensis specimens available for brightfield and DIC microscopy research.

GMP Sterile Print Production

Each Stargazer spore print is produced in a GMP-aligned cleanroom environment using strict sterile technique, delivering a dense, uncontaminated basidiospore deposit suitable for serious academic, educational, and taxonomic microscopy research.

Vivid Pigmentation, Foil-Preserved Format

Stargazer prints are individually sealed on sterile aluminum foil substrate — preserving the strain's characteristically rich chocolate to purple-brown spore pigmentation and symmetric spore geometry for long-term archival storage and repeated microscopy examination.

Chilean Andes High-Altitude Origin

Believed to originate from the high-altitude volcanic soils of the Chilean Andes, Stargazer provides researchers with a mountain-origin Psilocybe cubensis reference point — a collection environment that influences spore wall thickness, pigmentation depth, and morphological structure in ways distinct from tropical lowland varieties.

From the Chilean Andes at altitude — a cubensis strain with precisely documented spore dimensions

Stargazer is a Psilocybe cubensis strain believed to have originated in the high-altitude regions of the Chilean Andes — an environment of rich volcanic soils, humid mountain conditions, and temperature variation that stands in marked contrast to the tropical lowlands and subtropical pastures where most cubensis varieties were first collected. Under the microscope, Stargazer's origin is reflected in its basidiospore profile: ellipsoid, smooth, and symmetrical spores measuring approximately 12–13 µm × 8 µm, with deep chocolate to purple-brown pigmentation and strong visual contrast that makes them particularly well-suited for brightfield and DIC microscopy photography and educational display work. For researchers studying how altitude and climate shape spore morphology within Psilocybe cubensis, Stargazer is a compelling Andean high-elevation reference specimen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Stargazer mushroom spore print?
A Stargazer spore print is a dry deposit of basidiospores from the Stargazer strain of Psilocybe cubensis — a high-altitude variety believed to originate from the volcanic soils and humid mountain conditions of the Chilean Andes. Stargazer produces ellipsoid, smooth, symmetrical basidiospores measuring approximately 12–13 µm × 8 µm with deep chocolate to purple-brown pigmentation — a precisely characterized spore profile that makes it particularly well-suited for brightfield and DIC microscopy photography and comparative taxonomy research. All prints are sold strictly for microscopy and research purposes only.
How do you store Stargazer spore prints?
Stargazer spore prints should be stored in a cool, dry, dark environment — refrigeration at 2–8°C is recommended for optimal longevity and pigmentation preservation. Prints should be kept in an airtight envelope or sealed container and kept away from light, heat, and moisture. When stored properly, Stargazer prints remain viable for microscopy research for up to 24 months.
Does Magic Spore Labs ship Stargazer spore prints to my state?
Magic Spore Labs ships Stargazer spore prints to researchers across the United States, with the exception of California, Idaho, and Georgia, where state law restricts spore shipments. All orders are packaged discreetly and securely and are sold strictly for microscopy and taxonomy research purposes only.
How does Stargazer compare to other South American Psilocybe cubensis strains like Ecuador?
Both Stargazer and Ecuador are Andean-origin Psilocybe cubensis strains, but they represent distinct collection environments within South America's mountain regions. Ecuador is documented from the highland regions of Ecuador, while Stargazer is believed to originate from the Chilean Andes — a different Andean geography with distinct volcanic soil composition and climate conditions. Stargazer's precisely characterized spore dimensions of approximately 12–13 µm × 8 µm also give researchers a documented morphological baseline for direct comparative measurement work alongside other South American cubensis varieties.
Why are Stargazer spores particularly well-suited for microscopy photography and educational display?
Stargazer's reputation as a photogenic microscopy specimen stems from its combination of precise spore geometry and vivid pigmentation — ellipsoid, smooth, and symmetrical basidiospores with deep chocolate to purple-brown coloration and strong visual contrast that renders exceptionally well under both brightfield and DIC illumination. These characteristics make Stargazer prints a preferred specimen for researchers conducting microscopy photography, preparing educational display materials, or introducing students to Psilocybe cubensis spore morphology for the first time — the strain's visual clarity and consistent spore profile make it one of the most immediately rewarding cubensis specimens to examine under magnification.
