Hillbilly Magic Mushrooms

Hillbilly Mushroom History

The original sample of the Hillbilly magic mushrooms strain was reportedly discovered in Arkansas, USA, around the late 1990s to early 2000s. The story goes that a Mycotopia user known as “Hillbilly” is credited for developing the strain and making it available on online forums. Despite their discovery, Hillbilly didn’t gain as much popularity as other shrooms during the 2000s.

However, after the Hillbilly mushroom won an award as the “Microdose Champion” at the Spring 2022 Oakland Hyphae Psilocybin Cup, it began to gain more recognition and interest among growers and psychonauts alike. Looks like the Hillbilly mushroom strain is back and better than ever!

Hillbilly Mushroom Appearance

With a typical P. cubensis appearance, the Hillbilly mushroom strain often has a small and shallow orange-brown cap and stems that start thick at the cap and gradually taper in size.

You may notice light-to-dark blue spots on your dried Hillbilly mushrooms, this is completely normal and nothing to worry about. The blue spots are called bruising and are common in psychedelic mushrooms that contain psilocin and/or psilocybin. Bruising may occur during harvest, storage, or transportation.

Magic Mushroom Benefits

Psychedelics are known to alter thought, mood, and perception. Magic mushrooms are typically used recreationally, but did you know they can be used therapeutically and spiritually? 

Recent studies suggest that in the proper setting (and with the right dose), shrooms can potentially help with anxiety, PTSD, depression, cluster headaches, and substance abuse. Though more research is emerging on the benefits, do not replace your current treatment plan with magic mushrooms.

Additionally, shrooms have a long history of being used to encourage spiritual or mystical experiences. Users often report feeling connected to a higher power larger than themselves.

Everyone’s experience is different, but what’s important is that you approach Hillbilly mushrooms with caution, respect, and mindfulness. Whether recreationally, spiritually, or therapeutically, always take magic mushrooms responsibly.

Hillbilly Mushroom Effects

Typically you’ll feel the effects of Hillbilly mushrooms within 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion depending on your metabolism and consumption method. Some consumption methods may have a faster onset, with effects beginning as early as 10 to 30 minutes for mushroom tea or Lemon Tek. Trips can last about 3 to 6 hours (sometimes more).

Though their potency may be lower than other mushroom types, Hillbilly mushrooms are an uplifting strain with gentle psychotropic effects. There’s a reason why they’re perfect for microdosing and beginners. Expect mild visual and auditory hallucinations, deep introspection, time dilation, vibrant colours, and noticeable body sensations.

Hillbilly Recommendations

When it comes to magic mushrooms, your set (mind) and setting (environment) can affect your psychedelic experience. Check-in with yourself and gauge how you’re feeling mentally—are you using psychedelics to escape from a situation or feeling? 

Whether positive or negative, mind-altering substances amplify your thoughts, mood, and environment. It’s best to take Hillbilly magic mushrooms when you’re in a good frame of mind in an environment that’s safe, familiar, and comfortable for you. And who you choose to share the experience with is equally as important.

We recommend having a sober trip sitter nearby if your experience becomes challenging or intense. Since mushroom trips can last several hours, have plenty of food, drinks, and snacks on hand.

Mushroom Dosage

Hillbilly mushrooms may have a slightly lower potency, but this strain can still be potent at higher doses. The more you take, the more psychedelic effects you feel.
