Cuban Magic Mushrooms: Background
Cuban Magic Mushrooms are the OG of magic mushrooms. This species marked the discovery of Psilocybe cubensis as a species, being first described in 1906 as Stropharia cubensis by American mycologist Franklin Sumner Earle in Cuba. German-born mycologist Rolf Singer moved the species into the genus Psilocybe in 1949, giving it the binomial name Psilocybe cubensis. Cubensis means “coming from Cuba”, referring to the work published by Earle.
This species is a prolific producer of purple/black spores and has produce small fruiting bodies. It has caramel coloured to brown caps and slender, pale stems. Despite the smaller size, this strain is still fairly potent, with effects of focus and deep insight reported.
The Cuban Cubensis is often referred to as the “truest” cubensis in existence because this was the first discovered cubensis in the early 1900s by F.S. Earle (an American mycologist who often worked in Cuba).
The Cuban Magic Mushrooms are known to have skinny stems and small orange-brown caps. They may appear to be small but are deceptively potent. Because of its deep rooted history this strain is considered an royalty in the world of psychedelics.
After 10-30 minutes of consuming Cuban shrooms you will feel your mood enhanced with euphoria and excitement. Depending on dosage you will experience mild to intense visual enhancements. Things may seem like they are breathing, the nature around you will feel more alive and you will find yourself in introspective thought. Music and art will look and feel different and you will have a higher appreciation and you may relate the music or art to yourself on a more personal level. The most common museum dose (0.5-1.5g) and moderate dose (2-3.5g) should provide you with a 3-6 hour trip.
