Psilocybin Mushroom Strain Guide

Origin

The Amazonian strain of psilocybe cubensis, originally known as “P.E.S. Amazonia,” was first popularized by Pacifica Exotica Spora (P.E.S.), a company that started selling its spores. This naming convention, where strains were named after the company that “discovered” or distributed them, was a common practice at the time but has since become less popular. Today, the strain is widely referred to simply as “Amazon” or “Amazonian Cubensis.”

This strain is believed to have originated from the Amazon rainforest, where psilocybe cubensis naturally thrives in tropical conditions. The Amazonian strain is highly valued for its robust growth and potent psychedelic effects, making it a favorite among cultivators and psychonauts alike. Its large fruiting bodies and resilience have contributed to its popularity in the mycological community.

Appearance

Amazonian strain mushrooms are not all that visually distinct from other strains of psilcybe cubensis. They have thick, white or off-white stems and wide, well-formed caps. The caps are typically a rich golden-brown color when young, gradually fading to a lighter tan or yellowish hue as they mature. The caps often have a slightly convex shape that flattens out as the mushroom ages. In some cases, the cap may have a wavy or irregular edge, particularly in older specimens.

Expected Experience

The experience of the Amazonian mushroom strain is often described as “chill” and balanced, making it a popular choice for those seeking a pleasant and manageable psychedelic trip. Users typically report feelings of euphoria, mental clarity, and emotional openness, while maintaining a sense of groundedness. The visuals are vibrant but not overwhelming, with enhanced colors, flowing patterns, and gentle distortions in the perception of light and shapes. Overall, it provides a mellow, spiritual, and positive journey that is well-suited for both beginners and experienced users looking for a more relaxed trip.

Dr. Delic’s Field Notes

My day had started with a light breakfast, some mushrooms and a walk. Nothing really on my mind except enjoying the day.

“I got up and strolled off down the gently winding, soft grassy path. I spotted a red squirrel, sitting up on his hind legs staring at me from across the field. He hopped off into the tree line. I sat down again and gazed across the stunning beautiful stretch of Earth before me. The engine was revving. The landscape- the curves and soft turns of the grassy hills and the lines of pines and maples that rode atop them suddenly seemed inflated- as if a giant had blown air into the world. The sky seemed to have closed in some and the dramatic bands of clouds seemed – well – closer to the tree lines. And the trees themselves seemed to be calling my attention to tell me, this is how it is when there are no droughts or man-made interferences – we flow- easy breezy – harmony. This is how it is supposed to be. I felt somewhat dissolved – as if I were blending into all around me.”

Whispers in the pines remind me of the divine.
