Cultivation Biology & Master Overview
Venerated by the Zapotec peoples as "Badao Zoo" or "Hongo de la Corona de Cristo", Psilocybe zapotecorum is a majestic species of cloud forests that reaches enormous sizes and very high potency. It is completely cultivable indoors if you imitate its cloudy ravine habitat: coconut fiber substrate enriched with fine sawdust, a porous casing and prolonged fresh fog.
