Cambodia Magic Mushrooms: Origins and Genetics
Cambodia is known as a region where several Psilocybe cubensis strains grow. One of these strains is the classic Cambodian strain, which is said to have been discovered near the ancient temples of Angkor Wat by the famous ethnomycologist John Allen. Its potency is medium, and in terms of appearance, it shows the classic characteristics of Psilocybe cubensis, including slender, long white stems and caramel-colored caps.
Acid Shroomz Cambodia Liquid Culture Development
The development of our Cambodia liquid culture began with a spore syringe, which we used to inject mushroom spores directly into a grain substrate. This initial step was mainly to test the viability of the spores. After a few weeks of substrate colonization, we observed healthy mycelium, which we subsequently stimulated to produce fruit. We then cloned the best-looking specimen onto agar plates.
Next, we further isolated the cloned mycelium, resulting in a pure culture. This culture was tested one last time to ensure it met our high standards.
Our Cambodia liquid culture syringe contains an aggressive, fast-growing, and contamination-resistant strain that performs well under less-than-ideal conditions. Thus, it is a good choice for both beginners and advanced growers.
Product Contents
Each Cambodia syringe contains 20 ml of live mycelium in a carefully formulated nutrient solution. The syringe is a high-quality B. Braun model for precise handling and inoculation.
Additionally, the product packaging contains two 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes, a sterile 16G syringe needle, and an instruction leaflet.

Safety Precautions and Handling
When handling the Cambodia liquid culture syringe, it is crucial to follow proper safety precautions to avoid contamination and ensure a successful growth process. Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind:
- Always handle the syringe in a clean and sterile environment.
- Wear powder-free nitrile gloves and a face mask to prevent contamination.
- Make sure there is little to no airflow in your workplace.
- Avoid touching the needle or the liquid culture directly to maintain sterility.
- Store the syringe in a refrigerator at 4-7°C to prolong its shelf life.
Optional Accessories
Consider using a flow hood or still air box (SAB) for added sterility during the inoculation of substrates.

Just harvested my first flush, strong yield, first time growing Cambodian so not sure what to expect yield wise. The fruits have a very healthy morphology so I’m very happy. These colonized fast too, very fast!
