Awareness of psychedelic-assisted treatment is growing, with many people looking into various psychedelics as they consider their rehabilitation. This prompts many people to look into the most effective magic mushrooms worldwide, thinking that the healing powers may provide life-changing advantages.

People are particularly interested in psilocybin-containing fungi, not only in psilocybin mushrooms but also in what species grow nearby, in what habitats, and even in their ecological importance. Most discussions on psilocybin-containing mushrooms revolve around the fact that the amounts of psilocybin and psilocin can vary dramatically — not only between species but even within a species. 

This article will discuss the most potent magic mushroom and what is the reliable way to buy them. Continue Reading!

What are The Most Potent Magic Mushrooms?

Psilocybin and psilocin content are the two main alkaloids considered when discussing potency. The top ten magic mushrooms, or fungi that contain psilocybin, are listed below:

1.Subaeruginosa (P. subs)

Psilocybe subaeruginosa is native to Australia. They are reported to be quite strong, containing up to 1.93 percent psilocybin and 0.17 percent psilocin, and they grow on various hardwoods. 

 Its look is highly diverse, with a caramel-coloured cap that turns yellow as it dries out and frequently having vestiges of the partial veil on the cap border when younger. They have a purple-black spore print, a fibrous white stem that can vary in thickness and length, and blue bruises on the entire mushroom.

  2.  Azurescent Psilocybe (Flying Saucers)

Similar to P. subaeruginosa, which has been shown to contain up to 1.78 percent psilocybin, 0.38 percent psilocin, and 0.4 percent baeocystin, P. azurescens (also known as Flying Saucer) is a close relative. 

These have a hygrophanous crown that is caramel in colour and turns yellow as it dries up. They have a fibrous white stem that can vary in thickness and length, a purple-black spore print, and a blue bruise on every section.

3. Cyanescens Panaeolus (Blue Meanies)

This is one of the strongest psilocybin and psilocin-containing species in the world, despite not being a Psilocybe species. It is frequently claimed that the species has two to three times the strength of P. cubensis. However, there doesn’t seem to be enough evidence to back up these statements about potency.

These contain a 0.5 to 2.95 percent dry weight of psilocybin and psilocin. Stivje discovered their potency ranged from 0.17 to 0.95 percent for psilocin and 0.16 to 0.19 percent for psilocybin in 1992.

4. Psilocybe serbica

 In 1969, Horak discovered the European species Psilocybe serbica. It contains 1.34 percent psilocybin, 0.11 percent psilocin, and 0.02 percent baeocystin. 

Its crown is typically buff-brown to dingy orangish-brown and pale reddish-brown when it is dry, smooth, hygrophanous, not viscid, and lacks a separate gelatinous pellicle. When injured, the stem bruises blue and turns pale to cream.

5. Psilocybe Semilanceata

 Psilocybin, 0.02 percent psilocin, and 0.36 percent baeocystin have been found in P. semilanceata (Gartz, 1994). For many people, Psilocybe semilanceata is the ultimate magical mushroom.

It is easily identified by its bell-shaped cap and characteristic pellicle and is colloquially known as “liberty caps.” The most common shroom is Psilocybe semilanceata, which grows in northern Europe, northern regions of North America, Southern Australia, New Zealand, and South America.

6. Baeocystis Psilocybe (Bottle Caps)

Its colour ranges from dark olive brown to buff brown, with hints of steel blue; it has a hygrophanous crown with a gelatinous detachable pellicle, and as it dries, it tends toward copper brown in the core. It is said to have 0.85 percent psilocybin, 0.59 percent psilocin, and 0.10 percent baeocystin (Repke et al., 1977; Beug and Bigwood, 1982).

7. Cyanescens Psilocybe (Wavy Caps)

Despite being a close relative of Psilocybe subaeruginosa and Psilocybe azurescens, Psilocybe cyanescens “Wavy Cap mushrooms” has 0.85 percent psilocybin and 0.36 percent psilocin.

These powerful magic mushrooms are found in portions of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. Their range is expanding due to the usage of mulch to inhibit weed growth. They are a wood-loving plant that will thrive in wood mulch.

Samuiensis Psilocybe

Thailand’s Ranong Province is home to Psilocybe samuiensis. And they are known to occur in northern Australia, as well as on the tiny tropical island of Koh Samui and at Angkor Wat in Cambodia. The concentrations of psilocybin and psilocin in the fruit bodies ranged from 0.023 to 0.90% (dry weight) and 0.05 to 0.81%, respectively.

Tampanensis Psilocybe

Psilocybe tampanensis is known as “philosopher stones” or “magic truffles.” They contained 0.68 percent psilocybin and 0.32 percent psilocin (Gartz, 1994). Psilocin and psilocybin levels in dried mushrooms can reach 1%.

Cubensis Psilocybe (Iconic Magic Mushroom)

The archetypal “magic mushroom,” Psilocybe cubensis, is said to contain 0.63 percent psilocybin, 0.60 percent psilocin, and.025 percent baeocystin.

P. cubensis is one of the most widely sourced “magic mushroom” species since it is the easiest to produce due to its ease of growth.

Where To Buy Potent Magic Mushroom?

Magic Mushrooms in Canada are reputable and generally considered the safest and most reliable, as you can be sure that you are getting a high-quality product. When ordering online, it is critical to thoroughly read the product descriptions to verify that you are getting the strain and potency that you desire.

Final Thoughts

The potency of some of the mushrooms listed here is unpredictable, and the estimates are based on natural ranges. Indoor cultivation can dramatically boost power. When taking macrodoses of high-strength species, it is best to travel with another person or let someone know what you are doing, where you will be, and maybe even put their phone number on speed dial. High potency should also be achieved concerning set and setting.

Finally, it is critical to research the supplier to ensure that they are trustworthy and that their products are free of side effects.
