Hello fellow psychonauts!
utfse right? well, i tried my heart out on this site and others and have come up short. I really can't understand why there is so little info but maybe after i get into it some of you will know. There seems to be practically no trip reports on the fruits of p. mexicana. truffles/sclerotia reports are not hard to find but all I see on the fruits of these exotic species is "clear, clean, no yawning on come up, potent, etc.". This is lame.
Now, I'm one of those people that is totally on the side of the fence that believes in qualitative differences in trips based on ratios of compounds contained in a plant/mushroom when harvested. I believe that there's more than just psilocin/psilocybin that accounts for the overall effects of magic mushrooms. Potency is one thing, which can vary I know, but i believe that there can be differences in a trip that is not just based on set and setting. I'm not interested in convincing anyone of this or being convinced of the opposite. I also believe that every trip is going to be different regardless because "we" are always different every time we trip. It's sort of like you are never in the same place because your location is ever changing as you move through space. I also feel that most cubes are very similar in effects because i think they share similar alkaloid profiles. But i believe that a liberty cap and a cube are going to generally create different experiences qualitatively speaking.
So, my question is: can any member of this site post trip report(s) based on their experiences with p. mexicana FRUITS? not truffle/sclerotia. I'm interested in first hand experiences. There are tons of grow logs but no trip reports, I don't understand why this is. I mean is there some magic mushroom force that is mentally blocking everyone from spreading some esoteric knowledge that supersedes the realm of the cube? LOL...
Also, a comparison (mexicana vs cubes, fruit for fruit) would be great. Like how much do they differ in effects. The reason i ask is that i'm burned out on cubes and have been for a long time. I would love to try liberty caps or maybe psilocybe cyanescens. I've read about pan cyans. Not many reports on pans but they sound to me like similar to cubes just more potent and hit hard and fast, maybe a bit better feeling for some. I'm tired of being thrown into chaotic weirdness where my body feels like an alien worm crawling through the mud on a mud planet in a mud galaxy, ha ha!!
I'm lazy and mushrooms are a pain in the ass for me to grow. So I don't just grow them for the fun of it - I need a better reason. I have this sense that mexicana's may be superior to cubes but I need experience reports to help me make that conclusion. If they are then I will go about acquiring them some way 
I'd bet I'm not the only one who would like to more about this subject. Thanks kindred spirits.

farhar, it has been quite some time since you posted your question i see... as a more recent participant on this site i just came across it because like you, i wonder about the general lack of information and shared experience concerning p. mexicana.
i have been growing some and am on a third flush of these beautiful, special mushrooms... with a newly colonized group of jars advancing.
as many have noted, p. mexicana is preferred by the traditional curanderos/curanderas of the Mazatecs, and having experienced the medicine a bunch of times now i can understand why. qualitatively, i find that the spirit of the medicine is inherently peaceful, healing, benevolent. it is also visually stunning, profoundly so. so different than my experiences with cubensis. i am a devotee of the little birds, and having been involved in their cultivation, it is also a different relationship as well..
quantitatively, i have been shocked at the potency of the fruits. i started with 0.5g dried and had an intense and visually incredible experience. 2 hours of very strong peak and a surprisingly long tail, perhaps a 5 hour total experience. last night i went up to 0.8g and the medicine reached an entirely different level. for the first hour there was ego death and just an utterly profound psychedelic / ultimate reality experience. second hour was right up there, and it was strong through 3 with, again, a very long tail. i am not inclined to up the dosage, it was a magical and very intense experience.
again, just shocked at how strong these small, beautiful mushrooms are, and how deeply spiritual and healing they are in character. i am grateful for the blessings of this medicine and encourage you to experience their healing.
i should say that i am a dedicated meditator and spiritual practitioner, and i believe that those kinds of practices probably make one very sensitive to the effects... and of course, they assist in developing a strong intention for the experience, and in integrating the insights bestowed.
Blessings to you all.
