Find out more about Psilocybe

Psilocybe refers to a genus of mushrooms that includes various species known for their psychoactive properties. These mushrooms contain compounds called psilocybin and psilocin, which are responsible for inducing hallucinations and altered states of consciousness when ingested. Psilocybe mushrooms have been used for centuries in different cultures for spiritual, religious, and shamanic purposes.

The key components, psilocybin and psilocin, belong to a class of chemicals known as tryptamines. When consumed, these compounds interact with serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to profound changes in perception, mood, and cognition. Psilocybe mushrooms are commonly referred to as "magic mushrooms" or "shrooms" due to their psychedelic effects.

In nature, Psilocybe mushrooms can be found in various environments, including forests, grasslands, and dung-rich areas. They typically have a distinct cap and stem, with the cap often featuring unique colors and patterns. The appearance of Psilocybe mushrooms varies among species, but they are generally characterized by a unique and identifiable appearance.

The cultural and historical use of Psilocybe mushrooms is diverse. Indigenous peoples in different parts of the world, such as certain tribes in Mexico, have incorporated these mushrooms into religious ceremonies and rites of passage for centuries. The Mazatec people, for example, have a long history of using Psilocybe mushrooms in traditional healing practices.

The psychoactive effects of Psilocybe mushrooms include visual distortions, altered perceptions of time, and a heightened sense of introspection. Users often report a sense of interconnectedness with nature and a profound appreciation for their surroundings. However, experiences can vary widely depending on factors such as dosage, set and setting, and individual differences in brain chemistry.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the therapeutic potential of Psilocybe mushrooms. Some studies suggest that psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy may be effective in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research in this area is ongoing, and there is cautious optimism about the potential benefits of these substances when used in controlled and supervised settings.

About Dancing Tiger

Dancing Tiger Magic Mushrooms (also known as China Dancing Tiger) or P. Cubensis China, is a relatively new Psilocybe Cubensis strain originating from a Mycologist known as Agar. Agar received the spores from China in the year 2007 and it was described to him by the sender (a Chinese mycology student) as “laughing dancing mushrooms”. From this point Agar named the strain appropriately as the Dancing Tiger. 

 

The “laughing dancing mushrooms” have history in China dating back 800 years. Whether these mushrooms were native to China or whether the Spores travelled through trade ships is unclear. We can be sure though the Dancing Tiger shrooms started growing and flourishing in South West China.

 

This strain is known to produce an energetic visual and body high. It is a social strain that is great for laughing and dancing as the name suggests.
