When first introduced, many "trained" Mycologists (that's people who study mushrooms for a living) thought the B+ to actually be a completely different species. They incorrectly identified it as Psilocybe azurescens, which is the granddaddy of all naturally occurring mushrooms from the Pacific Northwestern USA. Many of these Mycologists stuck to their claims because they felt this mushroom, the "B+," was just as potent as any Ps. azure they had found from the wild!

The B+ strain has since been correctly reclassified as Psilocybe cubensis, but that doesn't mean it's any less special. The mushrooms from this strain get BIG, and often produce classically shaped and proportioned caps that many people find incredibly aesthetically pleasing.

Experienced shroomers consider the B+ strain a "stock" cubensis, one that is great for all situations and occasions. They caution not to eat too many until you have an idea how they well they will treat your head.

Regardless of what they want to call it, this is one powerhouse visual mushroom. Experienced shroomers often cite the Ecuadorian strain as being the most visual Ps. cubensis available. Original specimens reportedly came from the mountains of Ecuador, so maybe the thin air in the genetics has something to do with it.

Open-eyed hallucinations are typical and common with consumption of this strain. These can be very vivid and are often quite enjoyable in the right frame of mind. Colors are bright and crisp, and often converge in geometric patterns that move with the participant's thoughts.

A great mushroom for the times when you just want to lay back and enjoy the eye candy and crazy colors of an intensely visual mushroom experience.

While the mushrooms used in the Sabina ceremony were of the Psilocybe caerulescens variety, and not Psilocybe cubensis, it is known that many Psilocybe mushrooms are found native in the wilds surrounding Huautla de Jimenez.

The Huautla strain of Psilocybe cubensis was harvested from the wild areas surrounding the village of Huautla de Jimenez, bringing with it the spiritual ambiance that was for so long protected, taught, and guided by Maria Sabina. Consumption reports of mushrooms from this strain always include accounts of spiritual encounters, and usually guidance by celestial beings.

The Huautla strain was domesticated in the labs of JEM Farms and retains the genetic predispositions of the original material harvested from the wilds of Oaxaca.

Experienced shroomers know that blue bruising mushrooms are potent, and these Golden Teachers practically turn black! You can expect a serious experience from these shrooms, with excellent visual enhancements and incredible closed eye visuals.

Many people compare the Golden Teacher experience to a more natural feeling "LSD-type" experience with vivid colors and an incredible feeling of euphoria.Fruits do not form as abundently as some other strains, however the size compensates in dried weight for the lack in numbers. Second and third flush fruits can become enormous, often peaking at heights of nine inches. The strain performs very well both cased and uncased.

Cap: 25-50+ mm in diameter, convex to broadly convex to plane at maturity often with persistent acute umbo (nipple). Reddish cinnamon brown maturing to golden brown to light yellow with nearly white edges. Surface dry lacking remnants of universal veil on cap (spots). Flesh white soon bruising bluish green.

Stem: 150+ mm in length, yellowish. Flesh bruising bluish green where injured. Persistent membranous annulus (ring) from partial veil that becomes dusted with purple brown spores at maturity.

Gills: Attachment adnate to adnexed. Grayish coloration in young fruit bodies becoming nearly black in maturity.

Spores: Dark purplish brown, subellipsoid on 4-spored basidia

Many experienced shroomers report lower than normal dosages of the Puerto Ricans match potency with higher dosages of other strains.

Intense experiences are often described from otherwise normal dosages from the Puerto Rican. Intense visuals, spiritual experiences, visitations, and auditory hallucinations… we've heard it all! Needless to say people are always impressed after they guzzle a small handful of these babies.

If you're looking for a great full-blown Ps. cubensis experience, the Puerto Rican was grown just for you!
