Edible mushroom strains: There are thousands of regularly harvested edible mushrooms in the world, in addition to literally hundreds of thousands of other potentially edible species. Some species are highly prized because they are not or cannot be cultivated and must be harvested from natural settings. Check safety rules and always do research, before assuming any wild mushroom is edible.
Mushrooms were so flavorful for the pharaohs of Egypt that they decreed mushrooms could only be eaten by royalty and no commoner could even touch them, thus giving the royal family the entire available supply. Many prehistoric and a few modern cultures around the world used psychedelic mushrooms for ritualistic purposes. Mushroom cultivation reached the United States in the late 1800s with imported spores from England.
Exotic Mushroom Strains: also known by a number of other names such as magic mushrooms and shrooms, are fungi which have psychedelic, i.e., "mind manifesting", properties when ingested and can be roughly divided into two groups: psilocybin/psilocin containing mushrooms found mainly in the genus Psilocybe (though there are also psilocybin containing species belonging to the genera Conocybe, Copelandia, Gymnopilus, Inocybe and Panaeolus) and the muscimol containing mushroom Amanita muscaria. Both groups belong to the Agaricaceae family of fungi.
Psilocbye Cubensis Strains: are a species of psychedelic mushroom whose primary, pharmacologically active constituents are psilocybin and psilocin. They belong to the Strophariaceae family, are grey to violet-gray in color, and bruise bluish/purplish when crushed or dried. Their caps are planar when fully mature, and their gills are adnate (horizontally attached to the stem) to adnexed (slightly indented at the attachment point) depending on the subspecies. The gills are closely spaced and drop dark purple spores.
They usually colonize the dung of large herbivores, most notably cows and other grazing mammals. They prefer humid grasslands and have been found in tropical and subtropical environments in the Americas, Asia and Australia. In the US, they are sometimes found growing wild in the south, generally below the 35th parallel. They have been found in the highlands and river valleys of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru in South America.
Psilocybe cubensis is used in spiritual and or healing rituals in Mesoamerica, notably by the Chol and the Lacandon Maya people in southern Mexico.
Although it is illegal in many nations to possess psilocybin containing mushrooms or mycelium (both of which contain psychoactive substances), it is legal in several places to own and sell spores. In the United States only the psychoactive compounds are scheduled under federal law. The spores do not contain either.
