Costa Rican (CR)

The sample was supposedly collected at the famous Arenal volcano in Costa Rica.

Tryptamine testing has shown that this strain has about average potency. Its saving grace is that it’s relatively easy to get high yields of healthy shrooms over the course of several flushes.

The fruiting bodies of the Costa Rican strain are about as “normal” as they could be. They’re medium to large, with the cap ranging between 20 and 70 millimeters and the stem around 150 to 200 millimeters in length. The stems are light yellow, and the caps are golden, turning brown through maturity.

Although the Costa Rican shroom isn’t particularly potent, it has a nice euphoric and entactogenic effect. Waves of warm energy flow over the body, and light visual hallucinations have been noted.

Although the Costa Rican strain was discovered in a tropical country, this shroom favors colder temperatures. It thrives naturally at around 1000 to 1200 feet above sea level, where the ground and air temperatures are cooler and less humid. Keep this in mind if you choose to cultivate this strain.

The indigenous people of Costa Rica have been using psychedelic plants and fungi native to the area for centuries. It’s extremely likely that what we now call the “Costa Rican strain” has been used spiritually for thousands of years.
