Hunting Psilocybe Cubensis in the Mountains of Ecuador

Psilocybe cubensis (in this case, the famous Golden Teacher strain), the most common psilocybe, is abundant here in the Ecuadorian Andes, along with panaeolous cyanescen, a much more potent cousin. There are also many bizarre and beautiful edibles and oddities, like the Amazonian stinkhorn found in these mountains, as well as interesting and exotic wild passion flowers featured in this video. Join me as I trek through the mountains in search of edible and medicinal fungi, exotic flowers, and flowering cactus''.
Likely the first psychoactive plant used by humans (the oldest proven absolutely is Huilca) this amazing medicine is finally gaining mainstream acceptance as a powerful treatment for an extensive list of psychological illnesses. Some believe it to be the original consciousness catalyst that elevated us from our monkey mind, and ultimately gave rise to art, language, and the rest.
The mushrooms covered in this video are easy to identify, but it is important that you are absolutely positive of your ID before consuming any mushrooms!
I will include some links to recent studies on these amazing fungi in the comments below.
I am not a mycologist, and this video is strictly for entertainment purposes.
If you follow my channel and are curious about our home environment, or are considering visiting for a plant medicine tour or ceremony, this is our neighborhood!
This was the first time using this camera, so I didn't get the resolution set correctly until halfway through the vid, and there are some pretty whacked out camera work and some blur here and there, but enough of interest that I decided to put it out anyway, Also, the Patron only content and Psychedelics Masterclass Intro vid that I am working on are taking longer than expected. Both will be finished this week, so hit the bell notification so you dont miss it!
Also....Reincarnation Reveal at 3000 subs, so share the vids if you want to know who I think I was in a past life, and more importantly, why I think this. The Universe communicates in mysterious ways. But it does communicate, and I think this story illustrates that.
