Gymnopilus
Gymnopilus spectabilis, a hallucinogenic mushroom belonging to the family Cortinariaceae, is found growing in dense clusters on stumps and logs of hardwoods and conifers. It contains the hallucinogenic alkaloid psilocybin and its strongly bitter taste makes it undesirable as an edible.
Overview
This little mushroom is a beauty! It was the first African strain of psilocybe cubensis to enter wide circulation. The Transkei is a spectacular costal wilderness located in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. It is home to the proud Xhosa people. This magical mushroom strain was found growing in the shade on Nguni Cattle dung.
Transkei’s are small to medium in size, delicate with button caps orange/brown in colour and twisting gnarly stems.
Experience
Transksei’s are a potent strain. They are know for providing epic visuals whilst going light on the spiritual side of things.
We find that these little beauties provide a light-twinkling, skin-tingling experience. Expect a wonderful body high perfect for day hikes.
This strain produces an absolute firework show: a stunning combination of tracers, lights, and geometric shapes that increase at higher doses. This strain truly has to be experienced to be appreciated.
Dosage Guide
As far as dosage is concerned, as always we recommend you proceed with caution – 1-1.5g should be enough to familiarize yourself with the potency of the strain, give you some of the visuals described above, and help prepare you for a more intense trip. A 3.5-4.5g dosage will almost certainly result in the greatest light show you’re ever going to witness.
* Micro: 0.25 gram
* Low: 0.25 – 1 gram
* Medium: 1 – 2 gram
* Strong: 2.5 – 5 gram
* Heavy: 5 gram and upwards (Do not try this unless you are experienced with psilocybin and have done your research)
A medium to strong dose should provide you with a 4 to 6 hour trip.
Please be responsible with these shrooms, treat them with respect and they will show you a magical time.
