Origin and genetic characteristics

Despite its name, Albino A+ is not genetically albino. It is a mutation with reduced pigmentation that thrives in warm, subtropical conditions. This explains its need for stable and relatively high temperatures during the fruiting stage.

Fruiting requirements

This 100% mycelium kit requires a minimum stable temperature of 25–26ºC to initiate proper fruiting. It performs best in summer or in controlled warm indoor environments. Due to these specific requirements, it is not recommended for first-time growers.

Morphological features

Albino A+ produces medium to large fruits, sometimes reaching significant weight under optimal conditions. Caps are pale cream with white shades and occasional bluish hues. Stems share similar colouring and bruise intensely blue. Unlike some albino mutations, this strain retains dark purple pigmented spores.

Profile and intensity

Albino A+ is considered a high-intensity cubensis strain within the classic category. It is valued by collectors and mycology enthusiasts for its distinctive appearance and stable genetic traits.

Why choose the Albino A+ Grow Kit?
