But there is much more to these cubensis from Thailand, There are Thai Koh Samui, Ban Hua(n) and Thannon magic mushroom sub strains. Lets have a look!

The Thai Psilocybe cubensis species

Psilocybin

The Thai magic mushroom is also known as Psilocybe Samuiensis Thailand.  This magic mushroom is a psilocybe cubensis, a species of psychedelic mushroom whose main active elements are psilocybin and psilocin.  

The psilocybe cubensis species is the most well-known psilocybin mushroom because they have been widely distributed and they are easy to cultivate,.

Even easier if you get one of our  mushroom cultivation kits where all you need to do is add water and wait for mother nature to take its course. 

A bit of history and visual description

The Thai magic mushroom strain has been found in Koh Samui, a beautiful and small island in the south of Thailand. 

Thai Koh Samui

The caps of the Thai psilocybe Cubensis can be round to flat with a light yellow-brown to almost orange-brown color.  

The stem is usually thin and widens at the top.  It is said that this strain was first named and brought to the west by ethno-mycologist John Allen 1991.  

Koh Samui Super strain or KSSS magic mushrooms

The Koh Samui Super Strain is a domesticated Koh samui cubensis strain, the preforms more stable then the original, wild speciment. The KSSS is said to have bigger flushes, is more resistant to contamination and has large fruits, compared to the original Koh Samui

Thai Ban Huan Magic mushroom

The  Ban Huan Thai Psilocybe Cubensis was also brought back by John Allen and –Clyde- by a sponsored trip to thailand. The Ban Huan mushrooms are very popular in Thailand and a normal part of their culture.

The original strain off the Psilocybe Cubensis Ban Huan Thai produced various results and had a rather “wild” grow.

Growing Environment and conditions

The most common environment where the Thai mushroom grows is rice paddies where water buffalo's  work the fields.

We can say that the original Thai mushroom is a dung fungi as they grow feeding on water buffalo dung nutrients.  

Local Thai people, particularly native cattle owners, harvest the fungi when the water buffalo is moved from the rice paddies to the mountainous terrain at the start of the rice production season in late fall and early spring.

Cultivation information 

There are two ways to grow your Thai magic mushrooms.  Keep in mind that you are going to get massive fruits no matter what method you try. 

The first way is the easiest way and the most recommendable.  We are talking about a Thai magic mushroom grow kit 

Grow Thai magic mushrooms wit a grow kit

Growing mushrooms with a grow kit is pretty easy and rules out some negative factors.

No need for making substrate, inoculating and selecting spores this is all done. Most times these are the parts of mushroom cultivation that go wrong, get tricky or things gets contaminated.

With a grow kit you get a sterilized and fully colonized substrate that will grow mushrooms in the right conditions. All you need to do is add water and wait for the magic to occur.

The Thai ban hua magic mushroom grow kit is available in two sub strains and two sizes. The sub-strains Thai Koh Samui, Classic Thai and Thai Ban Hua are available.

The kind of high of the Thai

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.

Potency of the Thai cubensis

As far as potency goes, we would say the Thai magic mushrooms is up there with the Penis Envy as one of the most potent cubensis.

Keep in mind that everybody is different when it comes to what is experienced while taking magic mushrooms, but we can get some great insights from what others have reported.  

The trip effects

When looking at various sites, notably Erowid, mycotopia and Shroomery, you will find that people report it has a strong head or mind high.   It can also be a bit confusing at the beginning because after half an hour or so you might think it has not kicked in until you all of a sudden, it does and it triggers your visuals almost immediately.  Once it kicks in, the high seems to be quite pleasant as described by many who take it for the first time in a Thai beach in Koh Phangan.

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 can be an amazing experience, some say a life-changing experience if you follow basic rules the 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.  You can also check out our ''9 Steps to have an Amazing Magic Mushroom Trip'' article and you will be all set. 

In that section, 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. 

Tips for trips

• 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 of the Thai

.

.

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.
