The Ecuador Magic Mushroom Strain was first cataloged by mycologists in the mountainous highlands of Ecuador, and has likely been used by native peoples in the region for millennia.

Ecuador is consistently well reviewed on multiple forums (notably Erowid and Shroomery). These reviews report a strong onset of effects, mental clarity, mental and physical energy, increased visual acuity/visual stimulation, and often spiritual or mystical feelings of connectedness and unity.

Their physical characteristics typically include thick, hardy stems, and large light brown/tan caps. Ecuador often display a distinctly more brown cap than other cubensis strains, along with thicker than average stems. This strain is moderate potency and yield, however is easy to grow - with above average resistance to contamination, and above average colonization speed.
