In the Wild:

“Mazatapec” P. cubensis are most often seen as a smooth-capped, slender variety. This mushroom originates from southern Mexico. In the wild, this variety is not quite as fast-growing as other cubensis.

Mazatapec mushrooms have been used by native and indigenous people of Central America for centuries. Historical records show that the Mazatec indigenous people, a tribe that comes from the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico, have used these mushrooms for spiritual and healing purposes for at least 700 years, and likely much, much longer.

In Mexico, many members of the same family eat the mushrooms together; fathers, mothers, children, uncles, and aunts all participate in the transformation of their minds as they elevate consciousness to a higher state.

Shipping and Storage:

Your cultures will be fine during shipping, we promise! They handle heat and cold very well. Once home, cubensis cultures should be kept in a fridge between 33-40°F to maximize their lifespan of 6-12 months.

Do not let your cultures freeze! While most will survive one freeze-thaw cycle, multiple freeze-thaw cycles will kill any live mycelium.
