The Aztecs were well known for their use of psychedelic mushrooms both for religious and spiritual purposes. Archaeologists have discovered several images of mushrooms used as a type of sacrament within ancient graveyards in Mexico and Central America.
While it's difficult to scientifically categorize which strain the original Aztec God belongs to, some consider them to be a species of psilocybin mushroom called Psilocybe aztecorum, while others claim that they're Psilocybe cubensis strains.
Aztec God Mushrooms, formally known as Psilocybe aztecorum, is a type of psychedelic mushroom with a long history and cultural significance. They've got an average psilocybin potency and were commonly used by the Aztecs for religious ceremonies. They are grown extensively for their high psilocybin content, which makes them excellent for those seeking a profound and traditional psychedelic experience.
Unfortunately, the traditional and religious uses of these mushrooms are fading away. While considered to be rare, they can sometimes be found in reputable dispensaries and spore suppliers at Fungi Maps. They are only found in threatened areas, typically high mountain peaks, and are expected to become extinct as a result of global warming. They were designated as a vulnerable mushroom species in 2017 when they were included in the fungal red list and are expected to be extinct.
Nonetheless, this strain is popular among shroom users seeking a very introspective and spiritual experience. It contains relatively high quantities of psilocybin, resulting in a somewhat intense trip that leaves the user feeling connected to the world around them, offering a deeply spiritual and insightful experience.
As the name implies, Aztec God mushrooms were isolated from wild mushrooms growing in Central America, especially near Paso de Cortes, Mexico, in the mountains just south of Mexico City. In 1956, a French mycologist named Roger Heim identified and isolated the strain from Mexico's Popocatepetl mountains.
There is some evidence, mostly in cave paintings, statues, and expedition reports from European explorers, that ancient and modern civilizations used magic mushrooms for religious and spiritual reasons. Aztecs called this fungus “teonanacatl” which means “flesh of the gods”. These references and statues appear to prove that magic mushrooms were a significant element of Central American society for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
It seems unlikely that the current Aztec God strain is connected to the wild strains used by these civilizations. However, strains evolve regularly in the wild, and numerous can coexist in the same geographic area.
According to some, Aztecs used psilocybin mushrooms at festivals or religious gatherings to converse with their gods. The mushrooms are regarded as vital since collecting them is a “herculean job” that frequently requires all-night searching. During the festivals, these mushrooms are consumed along with chocolates and honey to enhance the experience.
The Aztec God strain has an average potency, with 0.50-0.70% psilocybin and 0.10%-0.20% psilocin (0.60%-0.90% total tryptamines). However, it is often hard to determine the particular potency of mushroom strains due to how much they are influenced by factors such as growing and storage.
Even samples from different regions of the same mycelial culture have been shown to have significantly varied psilocybin levels. Potency recommendations for this mushroom strains should be taken with caution.
Users often describe an intense sense of euphoria and overall well-being, leading to feelings of joy and deep satisfaction. The psychoactive compounds in Psilocybe aztecorum in moderate and high doses almost always cause visual hallucinations, including enhanced colors, intricate geometric patterns, textured visuals, and moving objects leaving light trails.
Aztecs are frequently obliged to fast before consuming the sacred flesh of the gods. This is a traditional habit in many cultures since fasting is regarded as a means of cleaning oneself of any weight that may impair the overall outcome of religious activities. Eating mushrooms at Aztec rituals was referred to as mushrooming oneself, or “monanacahuia,” and was considered a sacred practice.
Fasting before taking magic mushrooms may have different impacts on people. According to several reports, it's possible to get fewer side effects from psychedelic mushrooms after fasting for at least 24 hours, while others claim that there are no benefits from such prolonged fasts.
The Monotub Tek is a common method for growing mushrooms, particularly Psilocybe cubensis as well as the mushroom we've been talking about. This method is preferred for its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and capacity to produce high yields. Aztec God spores can be found by searching the Fungi Maps site, but the remaining components will need to be purchased at your local grocery store.
Break up a coconut coir brick into large containers, add 3-4 liters of boiling water per brick, and seal tightly. After 1-2 hours, mix until uniformly wet. Combine with vermiculite (70:30 ratio) and a handful of gypsum for added nutrients. Squeeze a handful; if overly wet, let it dry.
Sanitize your workspace and tools, wear gloves and a mask, then inject spores into the grain spawn with a clean needle. Shake to distribute spores evenly, and store in a dark, humid place at 24–27°C for 2-4 weeks until colonized.
Drill 6-8 holes around the sides, slightly above the substrate level, and cover with micropore tape. Add a 5–7 cm layer of substrate, evenly spread colonized grain spawn, and mix or layer more substrate on top. Close the lid tightly to maintain humidity.
Place the tub in a dark, warm spot for 1-2 weeks until fully colonized.
Move to an area with indirect light (12 hours on/off) and mild airflow. Loosen the lid or adjust micropore tape for airflow. Mist the tub walls daily and fan several times a day.
Mushrooms will form in 7-14 days. Harvest when caps split from stems, gently twisting or cutting with a sterile knife. Rehydrate the substrate by spraying or soaking for 6-12 hours after harvesting and repeat fruiting for multiple flushes.
To dry the mushrooms, use a food dehydrator or well-ventilated area until crisp. Store in an airtight container with desiccant packs to maintain potency.
Growing this magic mushroom strain requires a lot of patience and care. It is important to note that growing this strain is very difficult and is not suitable for beginners. However, if you follow all the steps correctly, there shouldn't be any problems. Explore Fungi Maps and get your own Aztec God mushroom spores!
