The psilocybe cubensis is one well-known species of psychedelic mushrooms. These magic mushrooms contain psychoactive compounds, psilocin, and psilocybin. When your body breaks down these compounds, they produce a trip that can last for a few hours.

These magic mushrooms are also loved by many because they are easy to cultivate.

Technology made magic mushroom grow kits more accessible. People can now order and receive these kits in a few clicks.

So, if you want to experience a magic mushroom trip, you can order a mushroom grow kit online.

All you need to do is add water to your mushrooms and let nature take its course.

Once these mushrooms are grown, you can eat or drink them to experience a trip.

There are many species and strains of magic mushrooms. But, one of the most popular ones in the South East Asia Region is Thailand.

The Thai Psilocybe Cubensis Species

You can find many magic mushroom strains in Thailand. There are three cubensis sub-strains from Thailand:

Thai Koh Samui Magic Mushrooms

This strain was first named and introduced in the west by John Allen. He is a an ethno-mycologist.

These magic mushrooms can be round to flat. They have a light yellow-brown and sometimes orange-brown color.

Their stems are usually thin but widen at the top.

Koh Samui Super Strain (KSSS Magic Mushrooms)

This is a domesticated Koh Samui cubensis strain. It has large fruits, and it’s also more resistant to contaminants. Thus, it’s more stable than the original Koh Samui.

Thai Ban Hua (n) Magic Mushrooms

Until now, these mushrooms have been popular in Thailand. These are already a part of their culture, and John Allen and Clyde introduced these mushrooms in the west.

Thannon Magic Mushroom

These mushrooms are tall with slim stems and beautiful round caps. These are well-known as one of the more potent strains.

Also, thannon spores are well-known to have a fast colonization rate.

For Thai Magic Mushrooms, the ideal place to grow them is in rice paddies. Most of these mushrooms are dung fungi; thus, they grow and thrive on water buffalo dung.

How To Cultivate Them?

There are two ways to grow these mushrooms.

First, you can get a mushroom-to-grow kit online. The Thai Koh Samui and Thai Ban Hua strains are often available.

Second, you can buy magic mushroom spores stored in vials or syringes.

What’s the Potency?

As mentioned, this strain is one of the most potent psilocybe cubensis.

Many tourists have experienced their first Thai magic mushroom on a Thai beach in Koh Phangan. They said that this strain of psychedelic mushroom has a strong head. A small dose can trigger your visual hallucinations immediately.

Although, your trip will also depend on various elements, such as:

your current mood
who are you with
what you ate or drink

What’s the Right Dosage?

The typical dose is between 1 to 2.5 grams of dried mushrooms.

Where Can You Access Magic Mushrooms in Thailand?

Thai people often cultivate these psychoactive fungi in clandestine plots. Thai natives and some foreigners grow them either indoors or outdoors.

But, most people in the villages of Koh Samui grow them in the uplands.

Psilocybin mushrooms in Thailand are not illegal, and there are some places in the country where you can buy them without a problem.

So, if you go to Thailand, bars and restaurants are the best places to buy them.

Resorts and restaurants often sell these as over-the-counter menus. Some use them in inedible food items such as omelets and soups. Others sell them in the form of a mushroom shake.

So it would help if you didn’t buy them from sketchy people. Or you might get caught for illegal drug use.

You may want to visit these places if you want a fun little hallucinogenic journey.
