The Fiji strain is a naturally occurring variety of Psilocybe cubensis collected from wild fruiting bodies in the tropical islands of Fiji. It was introduced to the mycology community in the early 2000s and quickly earned respect for its reliable growth and tropical genetics. This wild-type isolate was collected near coastal jungle regions and stabilized through cultivation, preserving its fast colonization, consistent fruiting, and beautiful morphology.
