Description
Summary:
The Huautla strain of Psilocybe cubensis is a type of psychedelic mushroom that is believed to have originated in the Oaxaca region of Mexico. This strain is named after the town of Huautla de Jimenez, where the famous shamaness and healer María Sabina used these mushrooms in her spiritual practice.
Huautla’s history is closely tied to the cultural and spiritual traditions of the Mazatec people who have used these mushrooms for thousands of years. María Sabina, who lived in Huautla de Jimenez, gained worldwide recognition in the 1950s and 1960s for her use of psilocybin mushrooms in spiritual healing ceremonies. Her work with these mushrooms helped to popularize their use among the counterculture of the time and played a significant role in the development of modern psychedelic culture.
The potency of Huautla p. cubensis can vary depending on a number of factors such as growing conditions, harvest time, and individual biochemistry. However, on average, the Huautla strain is considered to be moderately potent in comparison to other strains of P. cubensis.
Huautla grows best in a warm and humid environment and can be cultivated using a variety of methods, including the use of pre-sterilized substrates or growing them on grain.
How To Grow Huautla Magic Mushrooms
This sub-variety is considered easy to grow, making it a good starter strain for new growers. There are a variety of different ways to grow Huautla mushrooms. Yet, the most beginner-friendly method is to fruit directly from the bag using an all-in-one bag such as this one from Mushroomsupplies.com. However, if you are looking for more hands-on experience, we would recommend using a grow-chamber setup using grain spawn and a manure-based substrate. We have found that the easiest grow chamber setup consists of using a tin container. You can read the full post on how to grow mushrooms using tin containers here. Below is a summary of this post:- Innoculate grain bag with 3-5cc of Huautala liquid culture or spores via spore syringe.
- Store the inoculated grain bag in a dry area for colonization making sure to maintain a substrate temperature of 84-86. Colonizing mycelium generates its own heat, so an ambient room temperature in the high 70s is recommended.
- Once fully colonized, prepare the tin container and begin layering the substrate and colonized grain. Begin and end with a layer of the substrate.
- Set aside for re-colonization (10-14 days)
- Prepare the li by adding fresh air holes and cover with micro-pore tape.
- Replace the lid and place the tin into fruiting conditions. Reduce the ambient temperatures to reduce the substrate temperatures to 74-78 degrees F.
- Mist the inside of the chamber lid when needed.
