    #2809916 - 06/19/04 10:17 PM (19 years, 9 months ago)

Where i live the main mushroom I get is "golden caps" the other day my friend calls me up and says he has some bombin torqouise mushrooms from up north we tried them out it was so much better then regular golden caps... so what species is golden caps and why do they seem so far less potent then the northern ones?

DISCUSSION

The most popular and sought after variety of the more than 2 dozen species of sacred mushrooms used in traditional healing and curing ceremonies in Oaxaca, M?xico is Psilocybe mexicana Heim. It is the preferred species among Mazatec shamans, curanderos, sabias, and healers (male and female). The Chinantecs prefer Psilocybe hoogshagenii (Rubel et Krejci 1976) and the Mixes prefer three different species (Psilocybe cordispora, Psilocybe hoogshagenii, and Psilocybe mexicana).

In villages in and around the ancient ruins of Palenque, Psilocybe cubensis is employed ceremoniously by some shamans and healers. There it is referred to locally as the "San Isidro" mushroom (named after the patron saint of agriculture). Because Psilocybe cubensis and/or P. subcubensis are associated with manure, many local shamanic healers (including the late Mar?a Sabina) do not use these latter two mentioned species and consider them to be inferior.

Entheogenic mushroom use also occurs outside of Mesoamerica. Published research and recreational users of psilocybian fungi have also provided history with many endearing epithets used to describe the many various species of local entheogenic mushrooms; including some ancient traditional terms. Some of the epithets listed below have only recently been known of during the last thirty to forty years while the Chinese and Japanese epithets were recorded more than two millennia ago. These include mushrooms known of in the following countries:

In America, as elsewhere throughout the world, entheogenic mushrooms are used ludibly by certain members of society as a tool of recreation and by some as a means of religious enlightment. Among such users the entheogenic mushrooms are commonly referred to as "magic mushrooms" and/or "shrooms" (Ott, 1976, 1978, 1993; Singer, 1978).

Stafford (1982 [1992]) noted that the epithet "magic mushroom" was invented and first brought to the attention of the public by a Life magazine editor (see Wasson, 1957) who inserted this term against the wishes of R. Gordon Wasson, into the title of Wasson' Life Magazine feature contribution. Wasson (1980) had never appreciated the implication and insertion of the word "magic" and had indicated that he preferred the word "wondrous, and deplored the now popular and widespread use of the word "magic" and held reservations about its use.

Popular names given to magic mushrooms by those who consume them for ludible purposes are listed in table 3.

Psilocybe pelliculosa (elves caps, elves stools, woodland caps).

Psilocybe cyanescens (red saucers).

Psilocybe baeocystis (blue bells, blue fuckers).

Panaeolus subbalteatus (red caps, subs).

Here in NZ Ps. subaeruginosa are commonly known as "gold tops" or "gold caps" :grin:

but then you're probably not from NZ. And if you were I'd slap you for saying they're not very potent
