Psilocybe Mexicana Spores Jalisco

Psilocybe mexicana is a species with a rich history, central to the spiritual ceremonies of the native peoples of Mesoamerica, who knew it as teonanácatl, or “flesh of the gods.” This specific variety originates from the region of Jalisco, Mexico. Like P. tampanensis, this species is highly sought after by researchers for its ability to produce psychoactive sclerotia, also known as “philosopher’s stones.”

Please Note:

While these spores were taken from a lab-produced specimen and should be extremely clean, we will not replace any speciality Psilocybe spores or take a contamination report, as it is assumed the buyer is experienced in spore microscopy and knows how to handle them. If inexperienced with microscopy, we recommend our Psilocybe cubensis spores instead.

Background

First introduced to the wider world through R. Gordon Wasson’s famous 1957 LIFE Magazine article, Psilocybe mexicana holds a legendary status in ethnomycology. It was from this very species that Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann first isolated and identified the compounds psilocybin and psilocin in 1958, a breakthrough that opened a new chapter in psychedelic research. Its consistent production of sclerotia makes it a reliable and fascinating subject for microscopy.
