Malabar Mushroom

Malabar Coast History

To understand Malabar mushrooms, let’s go back to the Early Modern Era. The use of magic mushrooms can be traced back to 1500 BC in ancient India. Written in ancient texts read: “We have drunk Soma and become immortal; we have attained the light, the Gods discovered.” Some believe this spiritual substance is magic mushrooms, often used in religious ceremonies and healing practices.  

And lucky for us, Malabar shrooms come from the southwestern Malabar Coast of India. The original sample was reportedly first discovered growing in elephant dung. While we don’t know if ancient Indians used the Malabar Coast strain specifically, we can only speculate that they used something similar. Now, mycologists and enthusiasts continue to experience the incredible potency and effects of the Malabar mushroom.

Malabar Mushroom Appearance

The Malabar strain has small light yellow to golden caps that are darker at the center and lighten towards the edge. The stems are typically yellow-white and thick, but it’s not uncommon to see thinner stems as well.

Another colour you may notice is blue, either patches or a tint. This “bruising” is completely normal in psilocybin mushrooms and is said to be an indicator of potency. Pressure from harvesting or handling can cause bruising.

Magic Mushroom Benefits

Over the years, mushrooms for healing have become more popular as growing research indicates their positive effects on anxiety, stress, depression, PTSD, drug and alcohol dependence, cluster headaches, and more.

And it’s true what they say, magic mushrooms are magical for a reason. Whether you use them for recreational, spiritual, or therapeutic purposes, Malabar Coast mushrooms can lead to profound, life-changing insights. Set the right intention and you may very well change the way you think, behave, and see yourself and the world.

Malabar Mushroom Effects

Depending on the dose and consumption method, the effects of Malabar shrooms can take as little as 10 minutes or as long as 60 minutes. The entire mushroom trip can last between 3 to 6 hours. However, some users report tripping for 8+ hours.

The intensity of psychedelic effects will vary from person to person. Some common effects may include visual changes, relaxing euphoria, heightened emotions, body tingling, distortion of space and time, altered perception, a sense of interconnectedness, or open- and closed-eye hallucinations. 

Malabar Coast Recommendations

To reduce the risk of a bad trip, take special care of your set (mindset) and setting (environment). Create a personal ritual (what you do before, during, and after) that’s important and resonates with you. It prepares your mind and body for the journey Malabar mushrooms will undoubtedly take you on.

If you’re feeling anxious or uneasy, this is where a trip sitter–a sober friend who watches over you–can step in for support and reassurance. As a reminder, do not mix magic mushrooms with alcohol, other drugs, or SSRIs.

Mushroom Dosage

Choosing a dose is highly personal and requires a certain amount of awareness. While the potency of a mushroom is important, you must also consider your size, tolerance, experience, stomach contents, emotional well-being, environment, medications, desired psychedelic effects, and more. If it’s your first time with the Malabar mushroom strain, go low, slow, and adjust the dose accordingly. Take a look at our general mushroom dosage guide to get started:
