F+ mushrooms are a strain of the Psilocybe cubensis species of mushrooms. They are known for their potent psychedelic effects, which are caused by the presence of the psychoactive compound psilocybin.
The history of psilocybin mushrooms can be traced back thousands of years to ancient cultures in Mesoamerica, where they were used in religious and spiritual ceremonies. The Aztecs referred to them as teonanácatl, which translates to "flesh of the gods."
In the 1950s and 1960s, psilocybin mushrooms gained popularity in the West as part of the counterculture movement. Researchers like Timothy Leary and Aldous Huxley explored the use of psychedelic substances like psilocybin as a means of expanding consciousness and exploring spirituality.
F+ mushrooms were likely first discovered as a unique strain of Psilocybe cubensis in the 1970s or 1980s, although the exact origins are unclear. Since then, they have become popular among psychedelic enthusiasts for their particularly intense effects.
Today, psilocybin mushrooms like F+ are still illegal in many countries, although there is growing interest in the potential therapeutic uses of these substances for mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.
