Psilocybe Subcubensis

Psilocybe subcubensis is an entheogenic species of mushroom in the Strophariaceae family. 

The magic mushroom contains the medicinal compounds psilocybin and psilocin. 
Psilocybe subcubensis was first described by Mexican mycologist Gaston Guzman. It is the pantropical sister species of Psilocybe cubensis. It is macroscopically identical to Psilocybe cubensis but has smaller spores.

Psilocybe Subaeruginosa

Psilocybe subaeruginosa is a psychedelic mushroom of Australasia, which has psilocybin and psilocin as its main active compounds. 

First described in 1927 by Australian mycologist John Burton Cleland, it was previously placed in the section Cyanescens. 
Cyanescens has since been deprecated as a section and so Psilocybe subaeruginosa now falls under the section Semilanceatae.
Studies of comparative morphology, isozyme analysis and mating compatibility approaches have shown that P. australiana, P. eucalypta and P. tasmaniana are synonyms of this species. 
However, further studies have rejected the proposed synonymy with P. tasmaniana based on differences in habitat and microscopic characters.

Psilocybe hispanica

Psilocybe hispanica is a species of fungus in the Strophariaceae family. It produces small brown mushrooms with conical to convex caps. 
Reported as new to science in 2000, it is only known from the Pyrenees mountain range in northern Spain and southwestern France, where it grows on horse dung in grass fields. The magic mushroom contains the psychoactive compound psilocybin. The possible depiction of this species in the 6,000-year-old Selva Pascuala rock art suggests that it might have been used in ancient religious rituals—the oldest evidence of such usage in prehistoric Europe.

Santa Claus: Famous Shaman

The history of the old man in red who comes bearing gifts. 
Santa Claus is only the latest of many figures that have come to be associated with bringing gifts on the night of December 25th. 

In Sicily it is an old woman named Strina who brings gifts at Christmas, continuing a tradition that began in the days of the Roman Empire. In fact, his story takes us back to the beginning of recorded history, when some other characters climbed up trees of a different kind, and returned with gifts for everyone. 
These were not toys or perfume or watches, but messages concerning the year to come, the turning of the seasons, or the fate of the world. These people were shamans, who performed the functions of priest, historian, and record keeper, scientist and magician. 

"So, why do people bring Pine trees into their houses at the Winter Solstice, placing brightly colored (Red and White) packages under their boughs, as gifts to show their love for each other and as representations of the love of God and the gift of his Sons life? It is because, underneath the Pine bough is the exact location where one would find this ‘Most Sacred' Substance, the Amanita muscaria, in the wild." -James Arthur. 

Siberian reindeer also enjoy eating amanita mushrooms and thus are often used as a lure by the deer-herding natives. Since one of the hallucinatory experiences often felt on psychedelic mushrooms is that of flying, Santa's flying reindeer most likely derive from this. 

The Sami have a custom of feeding fly agaric to their deer and collecting the urine to drink. The reindeer’s digestive system metabolises the more poisonous components of the toadstool, leaving urine with the hallucinogenic and psychotropic elements of the fungus intact. Drinking the urine gives a ‘high’ similar to taking LSD. 
Under the hallucinatory effects of the drink, the Sami thought their reindeer were flying through space, looking down on the world. The reindeers’ liking for the toadstool hallucinogens are such that they, in turn, have been known to eat the snow on which intoxicated humans have urinated, creating a reciprocating cycle. 

In summary, it seems quite possible that the traditional image of Father Christmas, described in Livingston’s poem and universalised by the Coca Cola Company during the 1930s, has its real origins in shamanistic rituals involving the red and white fly agaric toadstool. 


Santa isn't the only occult Magic Mushroom hero, so is the Easter Bunny, King Arthur of Camelot and many more.

Steve Jobs and psychedelic drugs

We know Magic truffles and shrooms have stimulated many creative minds to come up with brilliant ideas. Though Free Information Laws in the US, new material has been released by the Pentagon, about Steve Jobs. It wasn’t a secret that he was into recreational drugs in the past. But in these reports he made some impressive statements about his psychedelic use between 1972 and 1974. Jobs states it was a “positive life changing experience” and that he was “glad he went through that experience”. He took psychedelics when he was alone, and when he took with marijuana, it made him “relaxed and creative”, he stated. He credits getting high to stimulating his creativity.

Steve Jobs: “I’m glad I used psychedelics, it was a positive life changing experience for me” 

Magic truffle tea recipe

How to make Shamantar truffles tea:

Cut the Shamantar truffles into small pieces, you can crush them if you like. The active substance will get better in the water when you cut the magic truffles as small as possible. 
Make the water boil. The strength of the tea depends on more or less water. Remove the water from heat. The active substances in Shamantar truffles are broken down by too much heat, so it is important not to boil the water after the Shamantar truffles are added. 
Throw the Shamantar truffles in the boiled water and leave the tea 15-20 minutes. Strain the water, or pour it gently so that the remaining truffles don’t reach the final tea.  You can add some honey to sweeten the taste.

Sclerotia Atlantis

Psilocybe atlantis: Indigenous only to Fulton County, Georgia, Psilocybe Atlantis is another relative of the magic mushroom family and has a pleasant taste and smell.

This type of sclerotia has appeared on the market and is more potent than either Tampanesis or Mexicana. Exercise caution it’s surprisingly strong compared to the other types; similar to the difference between the old Cubensis mushrooms and the Hawaiian mushrooms.
