Psilocybin Mushroom Strain Guide

Origin

The Brazilian strain of Psilocybe cubensis, also known as the “Corumba Brazil” strain, originates from the Pantanal region of Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil. The Pantanal is one of the largest and most biodiverse wetlands in the world, known for its rich array of wildlife including caimans, anacondas, capybaras, and the iconic jabiru storks. Corumbá, a city at the edge of the Pantanal, serves as a gateway to this vibrant ecological zone.

This strain of Psilocybe cubensis is believed to thrive in the rich, humid conditions of the Pantanal, which provide an ideal environment for fungal growth. The region’s natural abundance and warm climate create the perfect conditions for the cultivation of potent psilocybin-containing mushrooms. The Brazilian strain is known for its large fruiting bodies, fast colonization, and strong psychoactive effects, making it a favorite among mushroom cultivators and psychonauts alike. Like the biodiversity of the Pantanal itself, this strain offers a diverse and rich psychedelic experience.

Appearance

The Brazilian strain of Psilocybe cubensis is an ancient and historically significant variety, known for its exceptionally fast growth and suitability for home cultivation. This strain is robust, with vigorous growth patterns, resistance to disease, and the ability to grow to massive sizes. It was first collected in the Brazilian highlands and later refined in labs to create a genetically stable version that is now popular among growers.

One distinctive feature of the Brazilian strain is its larger-than-normal veil, which connects the cap to the stem, making it visually recognizable. However, due to their large size, these mushrooms require consistent humidification as they grow and keeping them wet enough is a common challenge. Growers are advised to use a high-quality mister or automatic humidifier to maintain the necessary moisture levels for optimal growth, especially when cultivating in a home environment.

Expected Experience

The Brazilian strain of Psilocybe cubensis is known for delivering a classic and well-rounded psychedelic experience. The effects are typically described as deeply spiritual and introspective, making them a popular choice for those seeking personal insights or connection to nature. Users often report feelings of euphoria, enhanced sensory perception, and vivid visual hallucinations, where colors appear more vibrant and patterns may emerge on surfaces.

In addition to its visual effects, the Brazilian strain is known for fostering a sense of unity and connection, both with other people and the environment. This can lead to profound emotional experiences, introspective thoughts, and heightened creativity. The trip usually begins with a light, uplifting energy, which can evolve into more intense and immersive states, depending on the dosage. The overall experience tends to be balanced, offering both strong visuals and mental clarity without becoming overwhelmingly intense for most users.

Dr. Delic’s Field Notes

This is actually one of the first mushrooms strains I ever experienced at the time they were simply presented to me as “mushrooms” but on further inquiry, after the fact, I discovered they were Brazilian Strain.

I was still at university and going through a particularly anxious time. I decided to take these alone during a break to make peace with my inner turmoil.

“I stepped outside and was blasted by some fresh winter air and was comforted by this soft glow that looked as if it was a dream. The road and grass shined and appeared to be softened like when they put the cloth filter over the camera for a show like the bold and the beautiful. Everything looked nice and just wobbled, grew, shrunk and melted, I even noticed a strobe like effect in my vision as I’d notice points of interest and my vision would dart around the place. I went running down the road, which eventually turned into a skip and then weird flowing movements, basically whatever I felt like, it always feels so good sober, and thus even better now. I was lost in the beauty of my body, my energy and the world.”
