Vietnamese Cubensis cubensis was first found from a specimen collected in Cuba in 1904 as Stropharia cubensis (Earle 1906). At about the same time, Patouillard (1907) collected Naematoloma Caerulescens in Tonkin (Hanoi), North Vietnam.

Psilocybe cubensis is a species of psychedelic mushroom whose principal active compounds are psilocybin and psilocin. Therefore, it belongs to the Hymenogastraceae family of fungi. It is the most well-known psilocybin mushroom due to its wide distribution and ease of cultivation.

While some mushroom strains can’t thrive in homegrown settings without painstaking measures to accurately recreate their natural conditions. on the other hand, Vietnamese cubensis can grow well even in suboptimal conditions that are so common with amateur growing setups. They are also robust against changing conditions, while more sensitive strains might be damaged by a slight fluctuation in the environment.
