It is very confusing I know. In smartshops in here (to keep it simple) you have 3 kind of shrooms that are sold (all fresh).

Psilocybe Cubensis = these are called Mexican shrooms

Psilocybe Mexicana A (or Tampensis) = these are called Philospher Stones or just called truffles.

Paneolus Cyanescens (also called copelandia) = Hawaiian Mushroom


There are many names in shops for the different kind of mushrooms, like thai, Philipine or colombian. These are all cubensis (Mexican) the only difference is the strain.

The Philosoper stones that are sold in smartshops are mostly Mexicana A , although most shops claim they have Tampensis, most of them do not. This strain is just commerical not as interesting as the Mexicana.

Hope its a bit more clear now. There are many mistunderstandings about the names , even by shopkeepers.
