Mushroom Origin Map
Domesticated Psilocybe Cubensis Map
Each mushroom has a unique story and origin. While our primary focus is on domesticated Psilocybe Cubensis within this map. Our aim is to offer an educational resource for those interested in the lineage of their favorite genetic strains.
The conventional approach of Phylogenetic tree mapping presents challenges for PCR testing. Analytical reviews rely on common data sets like Internal transcribed Spacer (ITS), Small Scale nrRNA, and Large Scale data. While ITS has become the gold standard for Genomic testing, its integration with the morphology within a species remains a laborious task, marked by knowledge and information gaps.
Fungal research has greatly benefited from DNA-barcoding methods and the expanding collection of sequences in publicly curated databases. These applications span from crucial pathogen identifications to comprehensive global examinations of fungal diversity. However, given the immense diversity of fungi, the challenge is vast.
We track wild Cubensis
Wild Psilocybe Cubensis
Wild cubensis mushrooms are the classic image most people imagine when they think of fungi in the field, slender pale stems topped with medium brown caps that range from smooth and rounded to slightly wavy as they mature. They grow naturally in warm, humid regions, often in grassy pastures and cattle lands.
What makes them fascinating is their genetic continuity: each mushroom releases millions of microscopic spores that carry the blueprint of the parent, ensuring the traits of size, shape, and color can be passed forward generation after generation, like nature’s way of preserving a family resemblance.
Collected Strains – Map 2022
We have been diligently collecting information from genetic experts, legacy growers and Vendors to provide the most dependable data available. Our journey to uncover legacy information has been a remarkable adventure in itself. In the near future, we plan to introduce a section dedicated to hybrids, as they frequently share lineages from various origins, a feature we will continue to monitor and incorporate. As this map mirrors a constantly evolving field.
