All About the Red Boy Magic Mushroom

The Red Boy Magic Mushroom is known for its wide caps and meaty stems.  Some say they grow faster than most strains.  The cool thing is that it appears it was resurrected from a 20-year-old print.  This strain is quite unique in the world of cubensis as it drops red colored spores.  The Red Boy Magic Mushroom is quite a specimen for all mycologist. 

Getting to know the Red Boy Magic Mushroom

The Red Boy strain quite unique and rare. 

It is an ''Old School'' strain it was very popular in the 90s and many thought it was lost after almost disappearing.  Some say that it was ''resuscitated'' by crossing an original ungerminated red boy spore and a cubensis from Puerto Rico.  Some say it was accidentally discovered out in a pasture in Florida and when prints were made, they noticed they were red.

The Red Boy mushrooms have big wide caps on medium large sized meaty stems. Red boy can be a slow grower, but these boys will not let you down!

Red Boy Spores are Burgundy red and all our Grow Kits come from RED prints. 

How to cultivate your Red Boy Mushrooms

There are two methods to grow your Red Boy magic mushrooms: 

The first way is the easiest and trouble free method:  grow kits where all you need to do is add water and wait for the magic to occur.

The process for our regular magic mushroom grow kit is as follows:  

1. Fill the grow box with water until the substrate is submerged and store the kit in the fridge during 12 hours.  
2. After 12 hours, pour the excess water out of the grow box and place the grow box inside the bag we provide.
3. Once every other day spray fresh water against the inside of the bag.
4. Wait until mother nature does its work, usually 12 to 15 days :-)

Using Spores to cultivate your Treasure Coast Magic Mushrooms

The second way to grow your magic mushrooms is using spores.  You can use Magic mushrooms spore vials  or a Spore Syringe. 

Cultivation necessities

If you decide to go the spore route, here is a supply list of all the materials you need to grow your own mushrooms.   Go to our store for most of the things you need.  All of our Thai spore prints are on sale now, check them out!  The rest can be found in any normal store or you may even have it at home already.

The kind of high

Disclaimer: Psilocybin mushrooms are potentially illegal substances, and we do not encourage or condone the use of this substance where it is against the law. However, we accept that illegal drug use occurs, and believe that offering responsible harm reduction information is imperative to keeping people safe. For that reason, this guide is designed to ensure the safety of those who decide to use the substance. We do not encourage using this drug outside of a legal or traditional context.

The effects of most psilocybe magic mushroom can variate from person to person, but reports suggest that they can induce you into a euphoric state of mind that is dreamy and quite relaxing.  There are also reports of visual experiences.

The initial effect can be very intense,

When looking at various sites, notably Erowid, mycotopia and Shroomery, you will find that people report strong highs at first, particularly from the BURMA and TREASURE COAST and then the experience becoming more chill as you enter into the high. 

Keep in mind that the kind of trip will depend on many elements: personality, where you are, whom you are with, what you ate and if you are mixing up with other substances or alcohol (it is best not to do this).  It can be an amazing experience, some say a life-changing experience if you follow basic rules we outlay further down.

Useful advice before you go on your trip...

As usual, the Magic Mushroom Shop would like to remind you that like all medicine the earth has given us it is important to show respect and refrain from abusing the amazing power that this Psilocybe Cubensis possesses. This is why we have created the Responsible Use Section.

We also recommend you take a look at the 9 Steps to have an Amazing Magic Mushroom Trip.

You will find that in order to have the best experience, you have to plan ahead, ideally, a couple of days before so you can mentally and physically prepare yourself for the mind-broadening experience. There are certain precautions that you should take especially when you have never had an experience with the psychedelic mushrooms. 

• You must be over 18 to try Magic Mushrooms.
• Enjoy this experience with a friend or Tripsitter who remains sober and who could help you in case of need.
• Never exceed the recommended dose.
• Smoking weed or taking other substances when taking magic mushrooms is not recommended.  It can be dangerous and make the trip shorter.  Avoid mixing.
• Drink a lot of water during the trip.
• If you’re not feeling fine and you want to ' stop'  your trip, take vitamin C or something sweet (an orange juice would be perfect) to lower the effects.
• When having a bad trip, the best you can do is to try to relax and talk about the experience, changing the setting also can work. 
• It is not a game: be responsible.
• Read our responsible use page.

Dosage

The typical dose for most magic mushrooms, even the Thai Magic Mushroom, is between 1 and 2.5 grams of dried shrooms, you can find the perfect dosage using EROWID's dosage calculator.  There is also the Shroomery dosage calculator which you can check out here. 

Many advanced users will say these quantities are too small, but they are safer for a beginner.   We believe the best is to remain below 1g if you are getting started.
