Morphology and Mutations

Cap (Pileus): Pileus markedly undulate or lobed at the margins, golden brown.

Stipe (Stem): Dense and thick stipe, inherited from PE genetics.

Spores: Moderate sporulation, brown spores.

Genetic Traits: Undulating margins, Pleomorphism, Coral mutation tendency

Cultivation Characteristics

Special Requirements: It greatly benefits from high fresh air exchanges (FAE) during early ontogeny to reduce abortions, inherited from the genetic instability of PE.

Effects and Psychopharmacology

• Vivid fractals
• Profound euphoria
• Notable sensory alteration

History and Description

Tidal Wave is a masterful contemporary hybrid, conceived through the genetic recombination of the prolific B+ and the potent Penis Envy (PE). It was developed as a successful attempt to recover the vigorous growth and environmental resistance (characteristics of B+) coupled with the alkaloid density and structural robustness of PE. The informal taxonomic name derives from the particular morphology that the caps adopt in the late stage of development, dramatically undulating ("tidal wave"). Furthermore, this lineage has proven to be genetically unstable in a positive sense, being the biological mother of the famous cerebral mutation Enigma.

The Tidal Wave (TW) variety has an extensive history in modern mycology, being appreciated for its unique genetic profile and its contribution to fungal biodiversity studied in laboratories worldwide.
