"I Am Unworthy to Exist in the Same Universe as Psilocybe Mexicana" - Ps. Mexicana Review & Trip Report
My first encounter with Ps. Mexicana
I have created a new echelon of esteem for the mushroom known as Psilocybe Mexicana.
I came to psychedelics with one simple desire: to be relieved of depression. Psychedelics delivered this and much more, and before I knew it, my journey with psychedelics transcended depression relief and became about the nature of consciousness and spiritual growth.
I have tripped on a decent variety of things at this point, but the focus of my psychonautic adventures has overwhelmingly been exotic species of psilocybin mushrooms. I have grown and consumed Ps. cubensis, Ps. ochraceocentrata, Pan. cyanescens, Ps. subtropicalis, Ps. zapotecorum, as well as the psychoactive mycelium of Ps. subtropicalis and truffles from the species Ps. mexicana.
So I hope I have some clout when I say: the fruits of Psilocybe mexicana take the cake.
Experiencing 2.5g Ps. mexicana was the single best experience of my life, full stop.
Until this experience, I held Pan. cyanescens in the highest eschalon of esteem by a fairly large margin, as my Pan. cyanescens experiences were indescribably powerful and were the catalyst for me to no longer identify as an atheist. No other mushroom (and I’ve tried many) has provided me with experiences of a similar caliber.
Do not misunderstand me: Pan. cyanescens is a phenomenal mushroom that I hope everyone so inclined gets the opportunity to try. However, if Panaeolus cyanescens is the Crown Jewel of Mushrooms, Psilocybe mexicana is the Mother of Mushrooms who wears the crown.
I feel unworthy to exist in the same universe as anything that opens the portal to what I experienced.
I would enthusiastically recommend this mushroom to both novices and veteran psychonauts.
I don’t generally share these, but if interested, read on for my trip report.

I dosed precisely on the autumnal equinox down to the minute. I wasn’t planning on tripping today, but as I was on my morning walk and noticing how beautiful everything was, I suddenly got “the call” (this is an extremely rare occurrence; I usually plan for trips in advance). Then I realized that the autumnal equinox would occur in just a few hours. It was meant to be today.
All I had eaten that morning were four small tangerines, so I was in a semi-fasted state. I blended 2.5g Ps. mexicana “Chicon Nindo” into a glass of orange juice and let this sit for 30 minutes before drinking it (I highly recommend this method of consumption).
My intention and mantras for the experience were simply:
Everything is going to be okay
Gratitude for being here

I took a shower. I am listening to a calm, tranquil playlist. The first signs begin to appear. I feel melty and relaxed; I can hear elements of the music I normally can’t. My headspace is good: relaxed, open, curious.
[The rest of the timestamps are estimations and recollections because I lay down in bed and stopped writing.]
T+00:45
I am cold; I bundle up under the blankets. It’s very cozy.
T+01:10
The hour-long tranquil playlist approaches its end. I notice a persistent and annoying humming sound. I pause the music, and I still hear it. I feel agitated; I can’t figure out what the sound is. Anxiety and fear appear.
I manage to text my husband to help me (all the icons on the phone screen are colorfully dancing around). He comes and tells me that the bathroom fan is on; I had left it on after my shower earlier, but didn’t notice the sound until now. He turns it off, and I am instantly relieved by the tranquility of silence. My wonderful trip sitter sets me up with my favorite tripping playlist, tucks me in, and leaves me alone.
Shortly after this, the trip really started.
I fall into a dream... I am submersed in a vast, whimsical dreamscape; everything is inconceivably silky... my skin on my fingertips is velvet; the sheets of my bed are the richest satin, even my thoughts themselves glide through my consciousness like melting ice.
It is the most wholesome bliss a human consciousness can experience, and it was just the beginning.
T+1:30? - T+3:30?
The next several hours are nothing less than unfathomable ecstasy of a celestial caliber. Time loses all meaning. Words are insufficient to communicate what I experienced, so I can only attempt to relay my thoughts at the time:
This is Everything
This is Everything
This is Everything
I am nothing before This
I am unworthy to exist in the same dimension as this Sensation
I am unworthy to exist in a universe where this Sensation can be felt
I am unworthy to exist on the same planet as these Mushrooms
I do not steward these Mushrooms; they steward me
I am grateful
I am honored to exist and experience
There are no words
This is the best thing I have ever done
T+ 3:30?
Even as the peak passed, the sensation did not end; it simply changed into a slightly more grounded version of itself.
I spent the next couple of hours with no thoughts in my head other than transcendent blissful humility and gratitude. It was not a sedentary state of being: for hours, my arms, legs, and body moved about as if possessed. I smiled a lot. Pleasurable tactile sensations continued throughout.
4:45 PM T+4:13
It begins to rain and thunder outside; I watch through my window. I would normally get up to go walk outside at this point, but since it’s rainy, I just continue to lie in bed.
5:50 PM T+ 5:18
I finally get up and go to the kitchen to eat some watermelon. I feel extremely wired. My body is shaking and twitching like I’ve been pumped with adrenaline. A slight pressure appears in my skull. I am exhausted and electrified at the same time. I feel as though I have just profoundly “gone through” something.
Mental exhaustion, as well as very subtle tactile enhancement, are noticeable even when I go to sleep that night around 10 PM. I have trouble falling asleep.
Attempting to describe this experience any further could only be a disservice. I am eternally grateful to psilocybin mushrooms for all they have given to me.
Thank you so much for your gifts, Psilocybe Mexicana 🙏
