Psilocybe Mexicana Shrooms (Psilocybe cubensis) should not be confused with Psilocybe mexicana, which is a completely distinct species.

The Mexicana cubensis strain is marketed as a classic strain that originated in, you got it, Mexico, as a third-generation isolation from indigenous shrooms.

Mexicana is a simple magic mushroom that grows as a P. cubensis shroom.

This strain colonizes quicker than other cubensis shrooms, making it a good choice for beginners. You may also love the fact that this type has some minor morphological differences in the mushroom fruits and is more effective than your ordinary Mexican magic mushroom.

This essay will explain what the Mexicana strain is, what to expect from your shroom experience, and how to grow it.

History of the Psilocybe Mexicana Strain

This strain is thought to be an isolate of one of the psilocybin-containing mushrooms used in spiritual rituals by the legendary Mazatec mushroom healer Maria Sabina — but we don’t know for sure because she employed a variety of entheogenic mushrooms in her practice.

Sabina’s usage of psilocybin mushrooms gained worldwide notice in the late 1960s after she brought R. Gordon Wasson and his wife to a traditional mushroom ritual, which Wasson documented and published in Life Magazine, exposing magic mushrooms to the Western World.
