Description
Appearance
Mycologists appreciate the Malabar strain for its distinct cellular structures and flower-shaped spore prints, which makes it an intriguing research subject.
- Stems: Thick, bulky, 4–6 inches long, and pale brown at peak maturity. They bruise blue upon handling due to psilocybin’s response.
- Caps: Measures 2-3 inches, curved, yellowish-brown, and darkens as they mature. The web-like veil on the cap underside disappears when dry.
- Gills: Shift from gray to black as they age.
- Spore: Dark, concentric, and well-distributed.
Potency
Malabar cubensis, a popular choice for dried mushrooms Canada, have moderate to high potency with a gradual and heady psychedelic experience. They can produce a total tryptamine content ranging from 0.90% to 1.80%. This sought-after quality appeals to many psychonauts, as it allows for a balanced and manageable journey into altered states of consciousness.
