I don't think there are Canadian Cubies, the "Oh Canada" strain is believed to be a scam since no one that bought em could get em to grow. There is a psilocybe native to the area but I thought there was just one. If you started aspen beds you could grow some Psil. Cyanescens or Azurescens in the fall/winter....but you need to start now for next year accumulating spawn on wood chips and then wait till it is consistently 50-54 degrees but be careful cuz they will knock yor head off. 4-6x stronger than cubies from what I have heard....like strong acid, not as shroomy and more of a lose control kinda trip. I am gonna try some this year.
I bet the Oak Ridge Subcubensis would be good too. They grow slower when it is colder but My FC is 70-75 when I am not watching the heat... and they grow fine cept I don't know if they'll survive the winter though you can run driveway heating wires around the bed and keep it warm enough and maybe throw a tarp over it but as far as growing wild I don't know if any will make it.

I believe It would be possible to grow cubensis outdoors in Kelowna BC, Canada.
Summer temperatures average 27.4° C, though it can get considerably warmer. Summer evenings provide an escape from the heat with an average temperature of 10° C. Kelowna winter temperatures are mild, averaging 0° C, with a mix of rain and snow. Kelowna receives over 2,000 hours of sunlight and 14 inches of precipitation annually. In this semiarid climate you will find Ponderosa Pine, Sagebrush, and even cactus plants growing naturally around the region.
Ive been to Kelowna BC, Canada....It is a very Beautiful region and the people are wonderful! I loved the Orchards!:)
I usually dont post links to vendors....I have never purchased spores from either of the the the two so its Buyer beware as far as im concerned.....I trade with only a few I have known for a long time.That or I hunt for substrains during the warmer seasons.

I had good luck with Captinmaxmushrooms in the past. Never got any nastys from his syringes. But I never tried to get my money back for the O Canada strain.

Sporeworks and spores101 are legit and Ralphsters is great too. I go to sporeworks most of the time. I used spores101 unless they didn't have it but since the owner and I are no longer friends I will stick with sporeworks. Workman just created albino PE that drops a white print...he is amazing...;)

The best service, delivery speed and quality I got was from www.magicmushrooms.org
It is an Austrian based vendor. I don't buy anywhere else anymore.
