Heritage Series (7 strains)
Hybrid Fusion (9 strains)
Vital Nature (2 strains)
Wild Origin
Nature's Pure Foundation
Wild Origin strains carry unmodified genetics that have evolved over millions of years without human selection. Expect natural variability — each flush reflects the authentic character of its geographic origin.
Cambodia
P. cubensis
One of the most widely distributed wild cubensis strains. Fast colonisation and reliable fruiting across a range of conditions — a solid introduction to Wild Origin genetics, authentic without being unpredictable.
Medium fruits
Good for Wild Origin beginners
PES Amazon
P. cubensis
Collected from the Amazon basin. Produces large, vigorous fruits and colonises strongly. The size and density of its flushes make it a favourite among growers who want impressive results from wild genetics.
Large fruits
Good for size + wild genetics
Mexican
P. cubensis
One of the original cubensis strains, with a history of ceremonial use stretching back centuries. Medium-sized fruits, steady colonisation, and genetics with genuine historical depth.
Steady, consistent
Historically significant genetics
Blue Magnolia
P. cubensis
Originally isolated from the southern United States. Known for dense, clustered fruiting and strong blue bruising — a visual indicator of psilocybin content. Distinctive wild character.
Dense clusters
Heavy bruising, striking visual
Cascadian Teacher
P. cubensis
A Pacific Northwest wild isolate with a connection to the Golden Teacher lineage. Combines the reliability of Teacher-type genetics with natural variability. Strong coloniser, above-average yields.
Generous yields
Wild genetics + Heritage reliability
Popocatépetl
P. zapotecorum
Not a cubensis — a distinct species collected near the Popocatépetl volcano in Mexico. Requires hardwood or enriched substrate rather than grain alone. For growers ready to explore beyond cubensis.
Hardwood substrate
Experienced growers
Jalisco
P. mexicana
The species historically associated with Mazatec ceremonial use. Smaller fruiting bodies than cubensis but a unique growing character and deep cultural history. Can produce sclerotia (truffles) under the right conditions.
Smaller fruits + truffles
Cultural history, non-cubensis
Jamaica
Panaeolus cyanescens
A completely different genus from Psilocybe. Requires dung-enriched or manure-based substrate. Notably potent for its size. For experienced growers ready to work with a different genus entirely.
Dung-enriched substrate
Experienced growers
True Natalensis
P. natalensis
Collected from South Africa — one of the most distinctive wild species in the catalogue. Large, robust fruiting bodies with a unique visual character. Colonises well on grain and fruits readily under standard conditions, making it more accessible than other wild species.
Large, distinctive fruits
Non-cubensis that behaves like cubensis
Heritage Series
Human-Selected Excellence
Heritage strains have been refined through decades of selective cultivation. More consistent, higher-yielding, and more forgiving than wild strains. The right choice when reliability matters.
B+
P. cubensis
One of the most popular strains in home cultivation — and for good reason. Exceptionally forgiving, colonises fast, and produces large, caramel-capped fruits with reliable yields. If you're not sure what to order for your first grow, B+ is rarely the wrong answer.
Large fruits, prolific
Ideal for first grows
McKennaii
P. cubensis
Named after ethnobotanist Terence McKenna. Known for above-average potency within the cubensis family, philosophical depth, and a devoted following among experienced growers. Colonises reliably and fruits steadily.
Steady yields
Step up in potency
Golden Teacher
P. cubensis
The most widely grown cubensis strain in the world. Earned its reputation through decades of consistent performance — reliable colonisation, forgiving growth, and golden-capped fruits that fruit readily under almost any conditions. The definitive beginner strain.
Reliable, consistent
Ideal for first grows
PE7 (Penis Envy)
P. cubensis
The Heritage lineage of the legendary PE genetics. Carries the high-potency characteristics of the PE family while being more approachable than Hybrid Fusion PE variants. Slower colonisation — patience rewarded with exceptional results.
Dense, thick fruits
High potency Heritage
Hillbilly Pumpkin
P. cubensis
A prolific fruiter known for its distinctive pumpkin-shaped caps and aggressive pinning. Colonises fast and throws large flushes reliably — one of the highest-yielding Heritage strains in the catalogue.
Very prolific, heavy flushes
Maximum Heritage yield
OG APE
P. cubensis
The original Albino Penis Envy — legendary genetics in the cubensis world. Carries the full PE potency profile with a striking all-white albino phenotype. Slower to colonise than most strains, but the results are worth the patience.
Albino, exceptional potency
PE-level genetics
APE221
P. cubensis
A refined selection of the APE lineage — generations of selective pressure applied to OG APE genetics to produce a more consistent, higher-performing variant. Retains the potency and albino phenotype of the original with improved reliability.
Albino, potent
APE genetics, better predictability
Hybrid Fusion
Laboratory Innovation
Hybrid Fusion strains are created in controlled laboratory environments by crossing distinct genetic lines. Unique characteristics, higher potency, and genetic innovation not found elsewhere.
Recommended for growers with at least one successful grow.
Yeti
P. cubensis
A sought-after albino hybrid known for its ghostly white appearance and high potency. Colonises more slowly than Heritage strains but rewards patience with striking fruits and exceptional results.
Albino, highly potent
Albino Hybrid Fusion
Blue Ghost
P. cubensis
Dense blue colouration and a unique genetic profile set Blue Ghost apart from any other strain in the catalogue. Heavy bruising, distinctive appearance, and above-average potency.
Heavy blue bruising
Distinctive visual character
Jack Frost
P. cubensis
An albino hybrid with exceptional potency and some of the most visually striking fruiting bodies in the range. Heavy bruising, dense fruits, and genetics that growers return to repeatedly.
Albino, exceptional potency
Top-tier Hybrid Fusion
Jedi Mind Fuck Albino
P. cubensis
The albino variant of the already-potent JMF strain. One of the most intense genetics in the catalogue — exceptional potency, albino phenotype, and a reputation that precedes it in the cultivation community.
Albino, extreme potency
Very experienced growers only
Mac Galactic
P. cubensis
A cross involving MAC genetics — known for caramel-spotted caps, prolific fruiting, and above-average potency. More accessible than the albino Hybrid Fusion strains while still delivering innovation.
Prolific, distinctive caps
Entry-level Hybrid Fusion
Yellow Umbo
P. ochraceocentrata × cubensis
An inter-species cross — the only strain in the catalogue to cross two distinct Psilocybe species. Yellow Umbo has a genuinely unique genetic profile and visual character. Experimental and fascinating.
Unique inter-species character
Genetic exploration
Makilla Gorilla
P. cubensis
A large, aggressive fruiter in the Hybrid Fusion range. Known for its size and vigour — bigger-than-average fruits with the potency profile you'd expect from Hybrid Fusion genetics.
Large, aggressive fruiting

Shakti
P. cubensis
Dense clusters and high potency define Shakti. Strong, assertive fruiting and above-average intensity — named for the Hindu concept of divine feminine energy, and it lives up to the name.
