Your 5 favorite magic mushroom strains!

Over the years we have had a lot of personal experience with the cubensis strains and customer reviews about the several magic mushrooms strains that meet the above conditions.

And here we will share your top 5!

1. B+ Psilocybe Cubensis strain

Everyday we get the question: which strain is the absolute best for beginner cultivators? And the answer is without: B+.

Self assured and adaptable. Ideal for beginners who might not be used to cultivating. This strain quickly adjusts and grows in various temperatures, conditions, and substrates. One of a kind!

The legend has it that a dedicated cultivator from Florida, called Mr. G., developed the strain. It just so happens that he produced an extraordinary strain that would take over the cultivation community by storm, maintaining the title of the best selling strain since the 90’s. 

The B+ strain is a large growing cubensis strain. It can grow from big to huge and you will notice some of the widest mushroom caps that will burst out of the grow bag. Because our flexible friend likes growing inside, it is possible to grow this strain in the comfort of your own home.

2. PES Amazonian Psilocybe Cubensis strain

Some people who trip would like to take it easy. Just a little appetizer, no crazy visuals, just a bit of fun. But there are also people who are ready for the main course. In that case we strongly recommend the PES Amazonian strain, ideal if you are looking for that authentic psychedelic experience. 

The name came from Pacifica Spora a company that was the first to develop this strain that was found in the Amazonian jungle. 

Expect big and fleshy magic mushroom with an average height over six inches, some even hitting the 12 inches!

So be prepared, because you'll be inviting the forest in your home with this wonderful p. cubensis strain.

3. McKennaii Psilocybe Cubensis strain

If you're going to name a p. cubensis strain after the Master Psychonaut, Terence McKenna, then you must have something special going on. An anonymous Dutch mycologist did, and our fellow cultivator can confirm that this McKennaii strain has it's own extraordinary character. It's known for being a stable grower. You could compare it to the B+, when it comes to self resilient magic mushroom grow kits. 

This strain is made for the philosophers amongst us. If you're interested in a trip that will take you on a deep journey, you should try the McKennai.

When the dosage is high enough, you will also be emerged into a visual spectacle.
