Psilocybe Cubensis is the most cultivated hallucinogenic mushroom in the world. The chances are quite good that your first hallucinogenic mushroom experience was with psy. cubensis (or psy. semilanceata).
Psilocybe Cubensis is thought to have originated in Southeast Asia. It is thought that the spores "migrated" to the New World with cattle (G. Guzman, Beih. Nova Hedwigia 74: 245-251. 1983). Psy. Cubensis is to be found in North and South America, Australia as well as still in Southeast Asia. Mostly psy. cubensis decomposes manure (like panaeolus cyanescens) in the wild.
What I hope to do with this page is to show the many different strains of psy. cubensis in the wild and to show different cultivation methods. Like panaeolus cyanescens, psy. cubensis decomposes the same type of compost used for agaricus bisporus, more commonly known as the button mushroom or the champignon.
Again, sorry that this part is nowhere near complete. It's a miracle what I have accomplished with this site so far.
Look for more to come.
