Blue Magnolia mushrooms are a strain of Psilocybe cubensis, a type of psilocybin mushroom. It is one of the most visually stunning strains of p. cubensis. They are known to produce a powerful psychedelic experience and are considered to be a potent phenotype. Blue mags are also great spore printers, often making large, dense spore prints.

Strain Origin
Blue Magnolia was first discovered in 2015 in the United States. It originated from a wild strain of cubensis found in the Gulf Coast region in Mississippi. Tissue samples were taken from the original mushroom and sent to various hobbyists on an internet mushroom forum. It is now one of the most desirable cubensis strains due to its tendency to produce large mushrooms and potency.
Appearance and Identification
Blue Magnolia magic mushrooms have a beautiful light-colored cap and a light yellow or white stem. They are typically medium to large and have thick, fleshy stems. The caps can range from 0.5 to 8 inches in diameter, and the stems can be up to 6 inches long. Once the mushroom matures, the veil breaks, leaving a dark-colored veil remnant behind the stem. The dark coloration is spores, as it is a great spore producer and is known to create very dense spore prints. Their name comes from their propensity to bruise a dark blue when injured or cut.
To identify Blue Magnolia mushrooms in the wild, look for the common signs of all psilocybe cubensis mushrooms, such as veil remnants on the stem, gold to yellow colored caps, and a dark-colored spore print. In addition, the mushroom has a light yellow or white stem. They typically grow in groups in tall grass or on the edge of woods, where cow dung is well-rotted.
Potency and Dosage
Blue Magnolia is known to be one of the most potent strains of Psilocybe cubensis mushroom. The potency of these mushrooms can vary depending on the environment in which they are grown and harvested, but on average, a single dose can range from 0.25 to 1.5 grams for mild effects, 1 to 2.5 grams for moderate effects, and 2 to 3.5 grams for strong effects.
The effects of Blue Magnolia can vary significantly from person to person, and each individual should start with a low dose and increase slowly as they become more familiar with the effects. Anyone considering consuming these mushrooms should know the potential risks of consuming too much at once, including:
- confusion
- disorientation
- panic
- psychosis.
Additionally, avoid combining Blue Magnolia mushrooms with other drugs or alcohol, as this can increase the risk of adverse effects.
Effects and Benefits
Blue Magnolia magic mushrooms are known to produce a powerful psychedelic experience. They cause euphoria, altered perceptions of time and space, and an overall heightened state of awareness.
The effects of Blue Magnolia mushrooms are said to be more intense and longer-lasting than other strains of psilocybe cubensis. They are also known to produce a more physical sensation than other strains, with some users reporting a feeling of tingling throughout their bodies.
Cultivation and Harvesting
Cultivating Blue Magnolia is relatively easy and can be done with minimal equipment.
First, obtain Blue Magnolia spores and a suitable growing medium, such as composted cow manure or straw. The medium should be moist but not too wet and rich in nutrients. It must be sterilized or pasteurized to kill mold spores or other contaminant organisms.
Once the growing medium is prepared, it is time to inoculate it with mycelium culture. This can be done by adding a spore syringe to the medium or using liquid culture.
Once the mycelium has been established, the mushrooms can begin to grow. The mushrooms will grow best in a warm, dark environment with temperatures between 68 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity levels between 70 and 90%.
After 8-14 days, the mushrooms should be ready to harvest. They should be harvested when the caps are still closed, and the stems are thick and fleshy. Once harvested, the mushrooms can be dried, stored, and consumed.
Safety and Precautions
During the experience, consider having a trusted friend or support system who can help to keep the user safe and grounded in reality. Have access to a safe, comfortable environment and avoid operating machinery or participating in any activity that could be potentially dangerous. The effects can last 6-12 hours, so you should plan accordingly.
During the experience, do not drive or engage in any potentially dangerous activities until the effects have worn off.
Overall, it is essential to remember to use caution and common sense when consuming any psychedelic substance and always to keep safety as the primary concern.
Legal Considerations
The legal status of Blue Magnolia and all psilocybin mushrooms varies from country to country. Therefore, everyone needs to be aware of the laws in their jurisdiction before purchasing, growing, or consuming these mushrooms. In some countries, states, or cities, they are entirely legal, while in others, they are prohibited.
