Psilocybe mexicana X is a wild-derived Sporeworks collection originating from Xico, Veracruz, Mexico. The strain was isolated from a naturally occurring specimen collected in the region and represents a geographically documented Mexican Psilocybe mexicana lineage.

Origin: Xico, Veracruz, Mexico

Comments: Mexicana X was isolated by Sporeworks from a wild specimen collected near the city of Xico, Mexico. It is predominantly a fruiting phenotype and was selected from a prolific natural population.

Cap: typically small, approximately 0.5–3 cm across, conic to campanulate or slightly umbonate, often with a small papilla. Cap color ranges from ochre-brown to beige or straw-colored as specimens mature, with the margin sometimes becoming striate.

Gills: adnate to adnexed, initially grayish and becoming purple-brown as spores mature, usually with paler edges.

Spore deposit: dark purple-brown.

Spores: approximately 8–12 × 5–8 µm, smooth and ovoid in shape. The combination of spore dimensions, dark purple-brown pigmentation and cystidial morphology is characteristic of Psilocybe mexicana.

Microscopic morphology: cheilocystidia are commonly fusoid-ampullaceous to sublageniform, approximately 13–34 µm long, while pleurocystidia may be sublageniform or absent.
