Name “Psilocybe” derived from the Greek word psilos (ψιλος) and kube (κυβη), that translates as “bare head”. Later this strain got assigned to the same species called Psilocybe Cubensis. First described in 1906 as Stropharia Cubensis by Franklin Sumner Earle in Cuba, in years to follow this strain were classified by different names such as Naematoloma Caerulenscens and Stropharia Cyanenscens. Psilocybe Cubensis is one of the most popular magic mushroom strains all around the world – mostly due to the fact that it grows naturally in some areas throughout Southeast Asia, Australia, and Central-South America. Best used for profound tripping experiences, these magic mushrooms come in moderate yields and are very easy to grow – even if you are not an experienced grower. Their name comes from unique yellow-gold caps they have and from the fact that this strain tends to make you more insightful. Golden Teacher or Psilocybe Aurumescens is one of the most popular substrains of the Psilocybe Cubensis family. Furthermore, any sugar-filled, calorie-rich drink, or food will lower (or diminish) magic truffle effects. Important! Make sure you don’t eat anything for at least 3-4 hours before the trip (the longer the better). Medium-normal trip dosing: 1.5-2 grams dried Threshold dose (microdosing): 0.25 grams dried Once again, our bodies react differently and are sensitive to different things so make sure you are safe.

Overall, dosages provided below should be considered by a 60-80kg person, If you weigh over 80kg you can consider taking proportionally larger quantities, or if you weight under 60kg you most likely will need fewer magic mushrooms to reach same states as someone who weighs more than you. We are all so different and our bodies react to things so differently. The dosage you should intake depends on your body mass, your personal metabolism, tolerance to similar substances, time since last psilocybe trip, and many other varying factors.

If you are using magic mushrooms for the first time ever, we always recommend keeping yourself safe and staying below 2g dried magic mushroom initial dose and only taking some more not earlier after 1,5-2h and only increase the dosage if you enjoy the effects.
