Description
History & Origins
The Mexican Dutch King strain originated from wild Psilocybe cubensis specimens found in Mexico, later cultivated and enhanced in Dutch smart shops known for pioneering mushroom genetics. Its balanced profile and vigorous development quickly made it a go-to choice among mycologists across Europe.
Growth Characteristics
In countries where cultivation is legal, MDK is known to produce dense flushes, thick stems, and medium to large caramel-coloured caps. It’s admired for its quick colonisation and resistance to contaminants. With strong rhizomorphic mycelium and high spore production, it’s a consistent and rewarding strain for research.
Microscopic Features
When studied under a microscope, Mexican Dutch King spores typically display:
- Shape: Ellipsoid and smooth-walled
- Size: Ranging from 11–17 x 7–12 µm
- Colour: Deep violet-brown clusters
- Surface Texture: Uniform and reflective, excellent for high-resolution observation
Cultivation Notes
Though not legal to grow in the UK, this strain is a popular subject of study due to its robust and consistent behaviour in legal cultivation environments. It performs well across a range of substrates and is often suggested for beginners due to its forgiving nature and adaptability.
