Malabar Mushrooms

What are Malabar Mushrooms?

Origin: From the Malabar Coast in India, these mushrooms have a rich history dating back to the 1500s, intertwined with Hindu and Zoroastrian traditions.

Appearance: Medium to large with large, broad caps. They feature a golden yellow hue that darkens towards the centre and fades towards the edge, with long, thick, white stipes.

Potency: While not the highest in psilocybin content, Malabar mushrooms provide a potent experience for both novice and experienced users. Blue bruising, indicating potency, is common but doesn’t affect quality or safety.

Dosing Recommendations:
Microdose: 0.1 to 0.5 grams
Creative Dose: 0.5 to 1 gram
Mild Psychedelic Effects: 1 to 2 grams
Strong Psychedelic Effect: 2 to 3.5 grams
Full Psychedelic Effect: 3.5 to 5 grams
Heroic Dose: 5+ grams

Experience: Low doses offer euphoria, stimulation, and mild visuals. Higher doses create intense visuals and may lead to spiritual enlightenment and ego death.

Cultural Significance: Used in Hindu and Zoroastrian traditions, these mushrooms offer a deeply spiritual experience.

Preparation and Consumption: Malabar mushrooms can be consumed raw, brewed in tea, or added to food. It’s crucial to start with a low dose and increase gradually.

What are Magic Mushrooms?

Magic mushrooms, or shrooms, contain the psychoactive compound psilocybin, which induces a psychedelic experience by altering serotonin levels in the brain. This experience can lead to altered perceptions and sometimes hallucinations. Recent research suggests that psilocybin-assisted therapy may be effective in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction.

Dried magic mushrooms are used for various purposes, including recreational use for their euphoric effects, therapeutic use for mental health issues, seeking artistic inspiration, and spiritual pursuits.

It’s important to dose carefully and in a safe environment, as effects can vary widely among individuals. While magic mushrooms show promise for therapeutic use, they should be approached with respect and caution.

Storage

Like all magic mushrooms, Malabar mushrooms should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their potency and quality.
