Inca Stargazer is one of the oldest, naturally occurring Psilocybe cubensis strains in circulation. While its exact origin is a bit of a mystery, it’s said to have first been discovered growing near the ancient Inca ruins of Machu Picchu, nestled in the Andes Mountains of Peru, where it was used by local indigenous Nahua tribes for spiritual ceremonies and the pursuit of higher consciousness. When young, its caps are dusted with pale speckles of mycelium, resembling stars scattered across the night sky. As it matures, the fruit can grow quite large, with thick stems and warm golden caps.
What’s included: Each order includes 1-3 prints, carefully wrapped in sterilized foil or 2 swabs generously covered in spores. Spores can last several years if stored in a dark, dry, and cool location such as your fridge.

Genus: Psilocybe
Species: P. cubensis (aka Cubes, Magic Mushrooms)
Strain Origin: Thought to have been discovered growing near the ancient Inca ruins of Machu Picchu, nestled in the Andes Mountains of Peru.
Climate: Tropical and subtropical
Habitat: Found in nutrient-rich pastures, grasslands, and manure-fertilized soils, often near livestock.
Temp: 74°–80°F (23–27°C)
Relative Humidity: 85%–95%
Cap: Caps are large and rounded, typically starting out golden to reddish caramel and fading to pale tan or cream as they mature (hygrophanous).
Stem: Thick, sturdy stems that are white to pale cream in color. Usually has a persistent, membranous veil (annulus) around the upper portion of the stem. Bruises deep blue when handled.
Gills: Closely spaced and initially pale, turning dark purplish-brown to nearly black as spores mature. Gills are directly attached to the stem or slightly unattached (adnate to adnexed).
Spores: Dark purplish-brown, smooth, and elliptical in shape. Basidia typically produce four spores each (tetrasporic). Spores mature quickly, leaving dense, distinctive dark prints.
Growth Characteristics: Moderately fast growing, with rhizomorphic mycelium that’s typically dense, bright white, and rope-like in appearance. Fruits can vary in size depending on genetics and environmental conditions but usually produce multiple flushes.
Notes: Grows best in environments with stable warmth, high humidity, and consistent fresh air exchange.
Potency: Psilocybin content typically ranges between 0.75%–1.75%.
