Psilocybe cubensis, from which the Texas Orange Cap inherits its genetics, is the most widespread, resistant, and prolific species of magic mushroom growing naturally worldwide; it it also the most genetically modified, spread-out, shared, consumed, and cultivated.

Being a vigorous tropical and sub-tropical specie, growing naturally in a variety of habitats, cubensis specimens generally inherits the name of the region or people they are related to – Psilocybe mexicana, Psilocybe aztecorum, Psilocybe tampanensis, the Amazon strain, the Brazil strain, the Ecuador Strain, etc…

Cubensis hybrids are like the chameleon of mushrooms – they end up having a variety of morphologies that also translate into a colourful array of names; for example, the very trippy Texas Penis Envy, the elegant Daddy Long Legs Strain, the mind-bending White Jedi Mind Fuck, or the Albino Penis Envy are a vibrant fraction of the myco-engineering possibilities out there.

The Texas Yellow Cap, as traditional looking as it is, is also a genetically modified Psilocybe cubensis. Said to have been developed by an amateur mycologist back in 1998. Its appearance, the “vibe” of its psycho-activity, and its effects, make it comparable to the notorious Golden Teacher.
