Colombian Rust Magic Mushrooms

Colombian Rust History

Colombian Rust cubensis is a mutated variety of the original Colombian strain. It’s regarded as one of the more potent Psilocybe cubensis strains—even stronger than Mexican and Thai mushrooms. The original sample was reportedly collected in a pasture near the small village of Villa de Leyva, Colombia. Aside from that, there’s not much else in terms of who first discovered or isolated this mushroom strain.

As of now, there’s no genetic relatives that we know of. However, what we do know is that Colombian Rust is a mutation of the Colombian strain through careful isolation and cultivation. While not as popular as other strains, you’ll have an incredible psychedelic experience that will have you feeling like you’ve found a hidden gem. 

Colombian Rust Potency & Appearance

Colombian Rust mushrooms are known for their above-average potency. As mentioned above, they’re rated as more potent than Mexican and Thai mushrooms.

Since they’re almost identical to Colombian shrooms, the Colombian Rust strain typically has large yellow to reddish-brown caps and long thin stems. The only difference is these shrooms produce rust-brown spores, which explains the name.

When dried, you may notice some bluing on the caps or stems. Don’t worry, blue spots are completely normal in psilocybin-containing mushrooms. This happens when psilocybin comes into contact with air and oxidizes during harvest, transportation, or storage.

Magic Mushroom Benefits

Psychedelic mushrooms are known to induce powerful, almost life-changing experiences—both good and bad. What you don’t want to do is use magic mushrooms as an escape from reality. That’s why setting an intention for your trip is one of the best ways to reap all the benefits of mushrooms. Here are a few suggestions on how to use Columbian Rust for your next shroom trip:

• Social: Highly social, empathetic, and low anxiety, these shrooms will have you connecting to your friends on a deeper level. Once you become more comfortable and open-minded, enjoy hours of endless conversation.
• Healing: Help change destructive behavior and harmful thought patterns with Colombian Rust shrooms. Research points to psilocybin being a powerful tool to alleviate symptoms commonly associated with stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or substance dependence.
• Spiritual: Experience a shift in your conscious awareness that may have you questioning your entire belief system. Colombian Rust mushrooms can create a sense of oneness with the universe or separateness from the universe (ego death).

Colombian Rust Effects

Instead of the usual stress and anxiety during the come-up, Colombian Rust mushrooms hit you with warm, fuzzy feelings. You’ll feel lightness in your body as intense feelings of euphoria and energy flow through you. The visuals (colours, shapes, and patterns) with your eyes closed are way more intense than when your eyes are open. As your sensory perception changes, you might lose awareness of your physical senses, forget about the dimensions of the space you’re in, and completely lose track of time.

After ingestion, it takes around 30 to 60 minutes to feel the onset of effects. Mushroom trips last around 3 to 6 hours, sometimes even up to 8 hours. Keep in mind that the onset, duration, and effects will vary depending on the dosage and consumption method.

Colombian Rust Recommendations

Bad trips can happen anytime, anywhere. There’s no 100% guarantee to avoid a bad experience with Colombian mushrooms, but there are a few steps you can take to decrease the likelihood. Your set (mindset) and setting (environment) are among the top considerations to make before tripping.

Take a moment to check in with yourself—mentally and physically—to ensure you’re in a good place to consume magic mushrooms. What you take into a trip will be amplified, that means if you’re feeling uneasy or down, those feelings won’t just automatically go away.

The same goes for your physical and social setting. Surround yourself with people you trust and only trip in a space that makes you feel safe and comfortable. This is also the time to think about who you want to have as your sober trip sitter in case you need guidance or support.

Everyone’s ritual is different, but here are some general suggestions. Clear your day from distractions and responsibilities. Have a light snack if you’re prone to nausea. Do not drive or mix shrooms with alcohol, drugs, or medications. Prepare enough food, snacks, and drinks. Put on some relaxing music or familiar shows and let Columbian Rust mushrooms take you on a mind-altering journey.

Mushroom Dosage

The most common dose is around 1 to 2 grams. However, finding the best dose for you is more personal, not what’s most common for other people. You’ll have a safer and more enjoyable psychedelic experience if you take your weight, tolerance, metabolism, and inner state into consideration. Don’t forget about the potency of mushrooms and desired effects. If you’re unsure where to start, take a look at the general mushroom dosage guide:
