Melmac Mushrooms

Melmac Mushroom History

Similar to other magic mushroom strains on the market, there’s conflicting information on the origins of Melmac mushrooms.

To understand the history behind Melmac, we’ll have to start with Penis Envy mushrooms. The story goes that in the 1970s, Terence and Dennis Mckenna discovered the original Penis Envy mushrooms in Columbia during their trip to the Amazon. He sent the wild spore samples to Steven Pollock, a mycologist who isolated the strain. While another story suggests that Richard Gutierrez is the creator behind isolating the Penis Envy strain.

From there, Homestead company in the Pacific Northwest began isolating the Penis Envy genetics and eventually produced the Melmac strain after countless cultures. Regardless of its origins, Melmac mushrooms have proved to be an incredible strain loved by psychonauts and growers alike.

Melmac Mushrooms Appearance

The Melmac mushroom strain has a similar appearance to Penis Envy with its phallic shape. However, Melmacs have slightly larger brown caps and thick white stems.

When dried, you may notice a slight blue tint or blue spots on your mushrooms. Don’t worry, psilocybin-containing mushrooms naturally bruise blue when exposed to air from harvest or storage.

Melmac Mushroom Benefits

Aside from recreational use, magic mushrooms can be used as an intentional tool for healing. While research around the potential therapeutic effects of psilocybin-containing mushrooms continues, there is evidence suggesting that they can help with anxiety, stress, PTSD, depression, and some addictions.

But, the benefits of Melmac mushrooms don’t stop there. Setting an intention is regarded as one of the best ways to spiritual, personal, and creative exploration. Not only will this help you understand yourself better, but you’ll have a roadmap to navigate your journey.

Mushroom Effects

You’ll feel the effects of Melmac shrooms within 30 to 60 minutes, with the entire trip lasting around 3 to 6 hours. However, the onset and duration will depend on the dosage and consumption method.

Everyone’s experience with Melmacs is different, but you can potentially experience visual and auditory hallucinations, euphoria, sensory changes, altered time and space, deep introspection, body lightness, or heightened emotions. Again, psychedelic effects will vary depending on the individual and dose.

Melmac Mushroom Recommendations

Bad trips are more likely to happen if you’re unprepared. Here are some useful tips when consuming Melmac magic mushrooms:

• Be mindful of your set (mindset) and setting (environment).

• Do not mix shrooms with alcohol, medications, or other drugs.
• Take Melmacs on an empty stomach or a light snack.
• Drink water during and after your trip.

Melmac Mushrooms Dosage

Psychedelic effects depend on the dose. But they can also depend on your weight, experience, tolerance, stomach contents, emotional state, environment, and more.
