Mazatapec

261 Views

Mazatapec is a popular strain of the Cuban psilocybe, also known as Psilocybe Cubensis. The characteristic features of these mushrooms include their psychedelic properties, which result from the presence of psilocybin. The content of this compound makes possession and cultivation of hallucinogenic mushrooms illegal in Poland. However, the mycelium itself does not contain any prohibited substances, which is why it is often sought after by hobbyists and researchers. Grow kits are designed for such individuals.

 

What are the characteristics of Mazatapec mushrooms?

Mazatapec is a variety of hallucinogenic mushrooms offered as a grow kit by our online store Shroom.it. Such a kit contains all the elements necessary for home observations. In addition to the mycelium itself, the grow kit includes accessories in the form of clips and a growbag. It's worth remembering that our kit is not intended for cultivating mushrooms and developing fruiting bodies containing psilocybin. In some countries, regulations are less restrictive, but in Poland, one must absolutely keep in mind all statutory restrictions.

History and occurrence

This specific variety of Psilocybe Cubensis owes its genesis to its place of origin, as it comes from the vicinity of a similarly named town in Mexico. Its properties were first utilized by the local indigenous inhabitants. The Mazatapec variety was discovered by Gordon Wasson, a banker from the United States. In the 1950s, during his travels, he encountered the Mexican shaman Maria Sabina and participated in her healing rituals using psilocybin mushrooms. Over time, the variety gained popularity in other regions of the world as well. These mushrooms have an exceptionally rich history and cultural significance. Currently, the best way to familiarize oneself with them is by using a grow kit. The package contains 1200 ml of product. We recommend storing it at a temperature of about 2-4 degrees Celsius. Such refrigerated conditions properly protect the mycelium from fruiting. In our online store, we offer not only grow kits but also other products related to ethnobotany. Noteworthy are collector's plants and seeds.

Characteristic properties

Psilocybin mushrooms were used by the Mazatecs primarily in rituals, but over time, the variety popularized by them began to be used recreationally as well. Like other types of Psilocybe cubensis, Mazatapec contains strong hallucinogenic alkaloids. When consumed, they induce numerous experiences that, even in small amounts, affect the senses, perception, and mood. These mushrooms influence the perception of time and space, as well as consciousness. The content of psilocybin, and thus the intensity and specificity of experiences, depend on many factors. Psilocybin, being a tryptamine derivative, contributes to the activation of serotonin receptors, leading to specific psychedelic effects. This substance is also present in other Psilocybe Cubensis mushrooms, whose mycelia are offered by our store. This applies to varieties such as B+, Malabar, Colombian, Thai, Golden Teacher, Mexican, or Ecuadorian.
