Distribution and habitat[edit]
Psilocybe pajaritos is a mushroom species that is commonly found in the Puebla region of Mexico. It grows in grassy fields and pastures, particularly in areas that have been grazed by livestock. The mushroom thrives in warm and humid conditions, and is typically found during the rainy season from May to October.
Psilocybe pajaritos grows as a saprobe, which means that it obtains its nutrients from decomposing organic matter in the soil. It is often found growing in association with grasses, particularly Stipa ichu, and may also be found growing in association with other plants.
Psilocybe pajaritos may form sclerotia, a dormant form of the organism, which affords it some protection from wildfires and other natural disasters.[1]
Consumption[edit]
In Mexico, Psilocybe mushrooms are traditionally consumed in a ceremonial context, often in the context of indigenous religious or spiritual practices. The mushrooms are typically ingested fresh, either on their own or in a tea or other preparation. The dosage can vary widely depending on the potency of the mushrooms and the individual tolerance of the user.
The psychoactive effects of Psilocybe pajaritos usually begin to be felt within 20 to 60 minutes of ingestion, and can last for several hours. The effects can vary depending on the dose, but may include changes in perception, altered mood, and altered sense of time and space. Psilocybe mushrooms are known for their ability to induce altered states of consciousness, and are often used for spiritual or introspective purposes.
