Permit holders only. Beyond | Prime supplies SAHPRA Schedule 7 permit holders exclusively. Every enquiry is verified against the holder’s permit, and a signed supply agreement is required before any order. Nothing on this page is offered for sale to the public.

Why Beyond?

Past the documented borders of mycology.

Traditional understanding only scratches the surface of psilocybin-containing species. Beyond signifies our journey past classical macroscopic identification into the infinite landscape of the fungal genome — a commitment to look past what is already known, using genetic sequencing to map profiles that have yet to be documented. Just as prime numbers extend infinitely, Beyond is the forward momentum of discovery that never hits a final wall.

I

Beyond the known genome

Moving past what the eye can identify into what the sequence can confirm — and what it has not yet mapped.

II

Beyond the wild variant

Moving past standard, unverified or wild-crafted variants to a strictly controlled, legally compliant and molecularly sequenced standard. Mycology, evolved past its traditional constraints.

III

Beyond ordinary boundaries

These species are studied for neuroplasticity and deeper states of consciousness. Beyond captures the essence of exploration — of the fungal genome and of the human mind.

Why Prime?

Because nature already chose it.

Prime numbers are not a human invention — they are a discovery. They exist independent of culture, language, and opinion. A prime is indivisible. It cannot be broken into smaller equal parts. It stands alone, whole, irreducible.

That is exactly what each strain in this collection is — a distinct biological identity, genetically confirmed, morphologically unique, irreducible to anything else. The sequence is infinite. New primes keep appearing — unpredictably, without pattern, without limit. The collection works the same way. It cannot be completed. It can only be extended.

One rule. Because nature only needed one.

For Permit Holders

Know exactly what you are growing.

Unverified cultures and mislabelled strains are common. Every Beyond | Prime culture is confirmed by sequencing before it is produced, so your research starts from documented genetics — with no need to re-sequence.

I

Sequenced genetics

Species confirmed by accredited ITS sequencing (Inqaba Biotechnical Industries), with a printed sequence document and lab reference for every strain supplied.

II

Contract production

Spawn produced to order, only for the strains listed on your SAHPRA permit — including replication of your own selected genetics.

III

Documented chain of custody

Batch records, supply records and invoices that meet the register and record-keeping conditions of your permit.

Track Record

Supplied under a SAHPRA Schedule 7 permit.

Mushroom Guru was the named spawn supplier under SAHPRA Schedule 7 Research Permit POS 266/2022/2023, producing authenticated spawn for licensed psilocybin research — then cloning and replicating the permit holder’s selected genetics to improve yields.

Permit strain

African Transkei

Psilocybe cubensis, South African origin. Supplied as authenticated spawn under permit POS 266/2022/2023.

Permit strain

Natal Super Strength

Psilocybe cubensis, South African origin. Supplied as authenticated spawn under permit POS 266/2022/2023 (listed on the permit as “Natal Super Strain”).

The Sequencing Library

A library that can only be extended.

Mushroom Guru is building a sequenced fungal culture library — edible, medicinal and research species, including South Africa’s indigenous Psilocybe natalensis, each with its own sequence record. Permit holders may request the sequence documentation for the strains on their permit.
