The Psilocybe (Fr.) P. Kumm. genus groups cosmopolitan basidiomycete fungi, characterized by the presence of psilocybin (4-phosphoryloxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine) and psilocin (4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine) as the main secondary metabolites of ethnobotanical interest (Hofmann, A., Heim, R. & Brack, A., 1958. Helvetica Chimica Acta, 41(6), 1358–1374). The synthesis of these indolic compounds occurs through the tryptamine pathway, with psilocybin acting as a prodrug dephosphorylated in vivo to psilocin (Stamets, P., 1996. Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World. Ten Speed Press).
The genus comprises over 200 described species with distribution on practically all continents, with the greatest diversity documented in tropical and subtropical regions of Central and South America, as well as in the northeastern United States and Western Europe (Guzmán, G., 1983. The Genus Psilocybe. J. Cramer). The species Psilocybe cubensis (Earle) Singer is the most cultivated in practical mycology contexts, valued for its genetic stability, phenotypic plasticity, and adaptability to different controlled cultivation substrates.
The ritual use of fungi from the Psilocybe genus is documented in Mesoamerican traditions with a historical continuity that dates back, at least, to rock paintings and pre-Columbian ceramic pieces. The first modern academic descriptions of the ceremonial use of these species—known in Nahuatl as teonanácatl—are found in the 16th-century chronicles of Bernardino de Sahagún, though their ethnomycological systematization did not occur until the fieldwork of R. Gordon Wasson among the Mazatecs of Oaxaca (Wasson, R.G., 1957. Life Magazine; Wasson, R.G., 1980. The Wondrous Mushroom: Mycolatry in Mesoamerica. McGraw-Hill).
The isolation and chemical identification of the active principles were carried out by Albert Hofmann and collaborators at the Sandoz laboratories in 1958, using material from Psilocybe mexicana provided by Wasson (Hofmann et al., 1958, op. cit.). Richard Evans Schultes subsequently documented the geographical distribution of neurotropic species and their integration into shamanic systems of various American cultures (Schultes, R.E. & Hofmann, A., 1979. Plants of the Gods. McGraw-Hill).
The Edabea catalog in this category covers the main formats of mycological material for cultivation and research, organized according to the development level of the material:
Colonized substrates with Psilocybe cubensis mycelium in different strains, ready to start the fruiting phase. Each block includes inoculated and verified substrate upon receipt. Official cultivation instructions are available in our 100% mycelium cultivation guide. Available in classic strains and hybrid strains.
High-density material for advanced growers working in bulk, monotube, or producing their own kits. Available as professional mycelium, on demand with shipping in 15 days.
Vials of spores, swabs, and spore prints from selected genetics of Psilocybe cubensis and hybrid strains. Material aimed at mycological research, germination, and phenotype isolation. Available in mushroom spores, hybrid spore swabs, and spore prints.
The sclerotia of Psilocybe—commercially known as truffles—are underground resistant structures produced by species such as Psilocybe tampanensis Pollock & Guzmán and Psilocybe mexicana R. Heim (Guzmán, G., Allen, J.W. & Gartz, J., 2000. Etno-mycological Journal, 1, 71–73). Available as fresh truffles and in format truffle cultivation kits.
Vermiculite, coconut fiber, sterilized substrates, thermo-hygrometers, heating mats, greenhouses, and preservation material. All complementary material is available at cultivation accessories.
Within Psilocybe cubensis, phenotypic variability among strains results from directed selection, clonal isolation, and, in the case of hybrids, controlled crossing between genetically different origins. The classic strains correspond to genetics with a long documented history in controlled cultivation, with phenotypic stability and predictable fruiting cycles. The hybrid strains combine traits from different genetic origins, showing greater phenotypic variability among individuals and, in some cases, greater sensitivity to cultivation conditions. The observable differences between them are primarily expressed in the morphology of the fruiting body, mycelium colonization speed, robustness against contamination, and fruiting capacity. Below are the most representative strains from the catalog:
| Strain | Type | Main morphological characteristic | Cultivation profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| B+ | Classic | Wide caps, variable caramel coloration, dense mycelium | High adaptability, ideal for beginners |
| Golden Teacher | Classic | Golden cap, robust stem, abundant sporulation | Stable, regular cycles |
| Alacabenzi | Classic | Rhizomorphic mycelium, high contamination resistance | Vigorous, consistent fruiting |
| Blue Meanie | Hybrid | Slower growth, dense and compact fruiting bodies | Requires greater environmental control |
| Jack Frost | Hybrid | Very dense whitish mycelium, frosty appearance | High sporulation, differentiated phenotype |
| Jedi Mind Fuck | Hybrid | Dark, domed caps, thick stems | Aggressive growth, abundant yields |
Colonized mycelium kits should be kept in a cool environment (between 10 and 15 °C), protected from direct light and in low humidity conditions until the onset of the fruiting phase. The spores in vials are optimally preserved in refrigeration (4–8 °C) and maintain their viability for extended periods in the absence of contamination. Spore prints on paper are stored at room temperature, away from moisture and ultraviolet light.
The legal situation of fungi from the Psilocybe genus and their active substances varies by jurisdiction. It is the buyer's responsibility to verify the applicable regulations in their residence before placing an order. Products in this category are marketed exclusively as mycological material for cultivation and ethnobotanical research.
A mushroom block is a substrate colonized with aerial mycelium of Psilocybe cubensis that, under the proper temperature and humidity conditions, produces fruiting bodies (mushrooms) on the surface. A truffle kit contains the substrate necessary for species such as Psilocybe tampanensis or P. mexicana to develop underground sclerotia, resistant structures that accumulate nutrient reserves and which the fungus produces under stress conditions. They are different products, formats, and species, although they belong to the same genus.
Psilocybe cubensis is by far the most represented species in controlled cultivation worldwide, concentrating the greatest diversity of selected strains. Its popularity stems from its adaptability to different substrates, relatively high robustness against contamination, and the breadth of its fruiting cycle under domestic conditions. In the Edabea catalog, almost all mushroom blocks and strains correspond to P. cubensis genetics, except for truffle material (P. tampanensis, P. mexicana) and some references of professional mycelium from differentiated genetics.
Spores vials contain a sterilized aqueous solution with spores in suspension, a common format for direct inoculation via syringe. Spore swabs are cotton-tipped sticks impregnated with spores taken directly from the sporulation of a fruiting body, commonly used for agar cultivation or inoculation of sterile substrates. Spore prints are impressions of the sporulation on paper, mainly used as morphological and pigmentation records, although they are also viable for obtaining spores through scraping or sterilized water solution. Each format has different applications based on the technical level of the grower and the method of cultivation used.
Psilocybe cubensis is morphologically distinguished by its brownish to golden cap in the young state that whitens with maturity, cylindrical stem with a persistent membranous ring (annulus), grey to dark purple gills at maturity and a blue reaction (bluing) when cut or pressed, a phenomenon associated with the oxidation of psilocin (Stamets, P., 1996, op. cit.). This blue reaction is not exclusive to P. cubensis nor is it a quantitative indicator of psilocybin content, but it is a recognized taxonomic marker within the genus.
