Psilocybe Cubensis For Sale

Psilocybe cubensis mushroom was encountered and described by the Spanish chroniclers was in all likelihood the Psilocybe cubensis, the most common of the 40 or so species of Psilocybe mushroom. The hallucinogenic ingredient of this mushroom is psilocybin or psilocin.

This magic mushroom is common known by the names “Earle” and “Singer”. Located in Central America, Mexico, and the Gulf Coast region of the United States, this Psilocybe cubensis grows individually or in groups on dung and manure and is found primarily in cattle pastures. It can grow roughly 20 cm in height with its broad yellowish stalk caped with the dirt yellow-brownish top. The cap can grow roughly 10 cm broad and is in an oval shape. The stalk is about 4-15 cm long and about .4-1.5 cm thick. Psilocybe Cubensis often grows thicker and has a dry, white or yellowish color.

how to tell if mushrooms are bad (cubensis mushrooms contamination)

We can say, that a contamination is anything unwanted in your substrate or mycelium, but mainly being impurities in the air, soil or water, that can cause long-term problems with your mushroom culture. Spore contamination can prove to be fatal to the whole culture, while contamination during the fruiting phase can lead to cap removal.

Contaminations can spread very quickly, so it is best advised to get rid of the contaminated cultures and move them from the non-contaminated ones. On the bright side, contaminations are easily identified, as the mushroom mycelium is completely white.

If you see any other colours, you can expect to have a contaminated culture. But don’t be too hasty, as there are two exceptions. One is the colour blue, which indicates bruising on the mycelium, while the other is the colour yellow, which is an indicator of the mycelium getting old and producing new defences against bacteria.

The Potency & Effects of Psilocybe cubensis

According to Jeffrey K. Aronson’s chapter on “Plant Poisons and Traditional Medicines” in the book titled Manson’s Tropical Infectious Diseases, the average Psilocybe cubensis mushroom contains 10 to 12 milligrams of psilocybin per gram of dried mushrooms [8]. However, the potency of Psilocybe cubensis is variable.

There are hundreds of different strains of P. cubensis, all with different appearance and tryptamine levels.

The psilocybin and psilocin levels in P. cubensis can vary from strain to strain, but the average psilocybin level is around 0.50–0.90%. Some strains, such as Golden Teacher, can produce anywhere from 0.4% to 0.8% psilocybin, whereas other highly-potent strains, such as Penis Envy, can produce upwards of 1.7%.

Microdosing Psilocybe cubensis

Psilocybe cubensis is a popular choice among those looking to microdose psilocybin. The fact that this species can be easily grown in an artificial environment and the abundance of information on potency make them great mushrooms to use for microdosing.

Unlike foraging for wild mushrooms, those that are cultivated tend to produce more stable levels of psilocybin and psilocin — this makes them easier to work with when dividing them up into microdoses. Of course, there’s still a bit of guesswork involved, but creating microdoses with cultivated P. cubensis is far more accurate than using wild shrooms.
