Top 5 magic mushroom strains

Psilocybe Cambodian is a popular strain for several reasons. Firstly, it is very easy to grow and produces impressive harvests. The mushroom is very robust and can grow in almost any conditions. But the effects are also great. Some people think that the mushroom is not that powerful. But that is exactly what makes the Cambodian very attractive for beginners. The effects are mild, balanced, not too strong visually and cause an uplifting and euphoric feeling. The Cambodian can also give you a nice boost of energy.

As far as growing is concerned, this mushroom is one of the easiest. It grows quickly and abundantly and is not very sensitive to bacteria and fungi. Anyone who wants to try the Cambodian can purchase one of the grow kits of 100% Mycelium or All in One.

2. B+ Magic Mushroom

Did you know that B+ is not pronounced as B Plus, but as B Positive? If you remember this, you can call yourself a mushroom expert. The B+ is an averagely strong mushroom, which gives a nice visual trip with an intense body high. People also often experience a wonderful feeling of euphoria, where you become mentally very clear and can notice an improved concentration for days. The trip is less introspective than with some other mushrooms.

B+ mushrooms are impressive in terms of size. The fruiting bodies can grow up to 30cm high. They grow quickly and can also produce good harvests in less favorable conditions.

Penis Envy is a powerful magic mushroom. Its name is easy to understand once you lay your eyes on a specimen.

Keep in mind that there are different types of Penis Envy strains, such as Albino, Trans, and Uncut. These can also differ in strength.

Penis Envy is a bit more difficult to grow, it is more susceptible to contamination. It is therefore more suitable for people who already have some experience with growing mushrooms.

4. Golden Teacher mushroom grow kit

One of the mushrooms that certainly deserves a place in the top 5 of mushrooms of 2025 is the Golden Teacher. Its name is well deserved: during a trip it is like a teacher, a friendly guide who accompanies you on your journey inward. A trip with Golden Teacher is often more mental than physical or visual. You feel more connected to nature and the world around you. The chance of a bad trip is small with this mushroom,making it suitable for beginners.

Golden Teachers are easy mushroomsto grow, they grow fast and yield large harvests. They are fairly resistant to infections. Anyone who wants to try these mushrooms can go to 100% Mycelium and All in One.

5. Top 5 Magic mushrooms: Tidal Wave

Have you ever heard of Tidal Wave? This mushroom is a cross between Penis Envy and B+. In 2021 it won the Psilocybin Cup for most powerful mushroom. When you trip on this mushroom, the effects come on quickly and intensely, like a so-called tidal wave. Intense feelings of euphoria, powerful visuals and a strong mental clarity are mentioned as effects. People indicate that they also notice feelings of well-being in the body, which allows them to connect more deeply with themselves. This is often healing for mood complaints and mental struggles.

Tidal Wave mushrooms come up quickly, and they are easy to soak. These mushrooms are also resistant to infections. However, the harvests are not very abundant.

Honorable mentions

In addition to the above-mentioned top 5 magic mushrooms for the new year 2025, we can name 2 more strains that deserve an honorable mention. These are Psilocybe azurescens and Psilocybe tampanensis.

Psilocybe azurescens or the Flying Saucer Mushroom

These mushrooms, with their beautiful UFO-like cap, originally come from North America. The mushroom does not look impressive, but make no mistake. This is the mushroom with the highest psilocybin concentration of all Psilocybe species, namely 1.78%. They are incredibly powerful.

A trip with P. azurescens causes intense psychedelic effects, characterized by powerful hallucinaties, both with open and closed eyes. You feel waves of energy flowing through you and also feel a physical high. At medium to high doses, you can experience that you end up in other dimensions. Sometimes people feel extremely euphoric. But this is clearly not a strain for beginners. Make sure you gain experience with other, milder strains first.

Psilocybe tampanensis or the Philosopher’s Stone

P. tampanensis is not the fruiting body used, but the truffles. These inconspicuous little masses are also called the Philosopher's Stone, which is not surprising when you look at the effects. A trip with P. tampanensis has an effect on your mental well-being. The truffles can help break patterns, silence the ever-critical voice inside you, and provide valuable insights. It is often a pleasant and subtle experience. These truffles are suitable for the seeker, those who want to get to know themselves and seek clarity. Mild visual effects can also occur.

Are you ready for a magical trip, then take a look at the range in our shop. Always be careful with magic mushrooms and stick to the recommended dosage. Magic mushrooms can have a major impact on your mental well-being. If in doubt, always consult a doctor. If you think a magic mushroom trip is too intense for you, then microdosing is always a good option.

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) reports that microdosing psilocybin may lead to adverse effects such as insomnia, increased anxiety, depression, and impaired cognitive functioning.
