Exotic mushroom spores refer to the spores of rare or unique mushroom species that are not commonly found in typical mycology research or cultivation. These mushroom spores can come from a variety of different species, some of which may be harder to source or have distinctive properties compared to more well-known species like Psilocybe cubensis. Exotic spores might belong to mushrooms with unusual growth conditions, unique appearances, or rare strains from distant regions around the world. These spores are typically used in microscopy, taxonomy studies, and research to explore the characteristics and genetics of these less common mushroom species.
