Psilocybe cubensis

1249 Views

Psilocybe cubensis is a species of psychedelic mushrooms from the Agaricaceae family, also known as the Cuban psilocybe. This species is coprophilic, meaning it grows well on animal dung, among other substrates. The characteristic feature of these mushrooms is the content of a substance called psilocybin, which exhibits hallucinogenic properties. Their possession, cultivation, and sale are illegal in Poland; however, it is still possible to possess spores and mycelium for collecting or observational purposes.

 

What are the characteristics of Psilocybe cubensis varieties B+, Golden Teacher, Ecuadorian, Maztapec, Mexican and Cambodian?

B+, Golden Teacher, Ecuadorian, Maztapec, Mexican and Cambodian are varieties of the psilocybe cubensis mushroom that you can find in the offer of our online store Shroom.it. According to the law, they can be sold and stored, but the development of fruiting bodies is not allowed. In our assortment, they are available in the form of special grow kits containing mycelium, which are complete sets for independent cultivation.

Physical characteristics

These mushrooms have a conical and wide cap, which, depending on the variety, can be oval or bell-shaped. As it matures and develops, this cap expands. Mature P. cubensis specimens can be recognized by the bumpy surface of the veil. A characteristic feature of the Psilocybe cubensis species is the so-called "bruising", which is turning dark blue due to pressure or other tissue damage. Spore prints are thick-walled and smooth, and are characterized by a dark brown color, but can also be black. These mushrooms have attached gills that sometimes slightly deviate from the cap surface. The stem is quite dry and usually white-yellow, and the veil is muddy, white or tinged blue. There is a delicate and thin ring on the stipe that darkens as the spores fall.

Growth and occurrence

P. cubensis mushrooms are coprophilous, so they readily colonize substrate rich in herbivore droppings. These mushrooms prefer mainly moist forests occurring in tropical climates. Depending on the variety, they are found in the valleys of Colombia, Ecuador and Argentina, as well as in the wild areas of Thailand, India and Cambodia. This species develops best in an environment with humidity reaching over 85%, especially in areas inhabited by herbivorous mammals. The ability to develop in animal dung results from the low gastric acid content in the feces, which facilitates spore germination.

Cultivation

Mushrooms of this species are relatively easy to cultivate. P. cubensis produces rhizomorphic mycelium, which develops exceptionally well on many substrates. These mushrooms show resistance to a wide range of temperatures, with a temperature of about 21-23ºC being most conducive to fruiting, while the optimal temperature for substrate colonization is about 26-28ºC. Individual varieties can be grown on rye seed substrate, as well as straw, coconut fiber, manure, flour or brown rice.

Psychedelic properties

All of these varieties exhibit hallucinogenic properties, which result from the content of psychedelic substances. The most important of these components is psilocybin, in addition to which the mushrooms may also contain psilocin and baeocystin. Their consumption induces specific experiences, such as changes in mood and consciousness. The substances contained in P. cubensis also affect the perception of space and time, and in
