Jack Frost Magic Mushrooms
Jack Frost is a beautiful albino variety of Psilocybe cubensis that combines all of the best traits of its genetic parents with stunning looks, high potency, and increased contamination resistance. This very unique psychedelic mushroom is a hybrid of the Albino Penis Envy and the True Albino Teacher mushrooms. Created by the renowned mycologist, Wombat, we all owe him a debt of gratitude, as this is one of the most special cubensis hybrids we have tested to date.
Summary:
Jack Frost is a potent and balanced magic mushroom that provides its users with hearty visuals, warm body effects, and deep feelings of interconnectedness. This unique specimen is a result of crossing two popular variants, the Albino Penis Envy and the True Albino Teacher mushrooms. The resulting genetic produce potent, medium-sized fruits. As juveniles, these mushrooms are completely devoid of pigment, upon maturity the caps can turn a white-cream color and the gills turn a shade of blue. These mushrooms are of average difficulty to grow and are a must-have for any mycologist.
Jack Frost Mushroom Effects
Users of Jack Frost report strong feelings of euphoria, connectedness, and deep contemplation. This variety provides visual stimulation.
How to grow Jack Frost Mushrooms
The simplest way to grow most p. cubensis mushrooms is to fruit directly from the bag using an all-in-one bag such as this one from Mushroomsupplies.com
However, if you are looking for more hands-on experience, we would recommend using a grow-chamber setup using grain spawn and a manure-based substrate. We have found that the easiest grow chamber setup consists of using a tin container. You can read the full post on how to grow mushrooms using tin containers here.
Below is a summary of this method:
- Innoculate grain bag with 3-5cc of Jack Frost liquid culture or spores via spore syringe.
- Store the inoculated grain bag in a dry area for colonization making sure to maintain a substrate temperature of 84-86. Colonizing mycelium generates its own heat, so an ambient room temperature in the high 70s is recommended.
- Once fully colonized, prepare the tin container and begin layering the substrate and colonized grain. Begin and end with a layer of the substrate.
- Set aside for re-colonization (10-14 days)
- Prepare the li by adding fresh air holes and cover with micro-pore tape.
- Replace the lid and place the tin into fruiting conditions. Reduce the ambient temperatures to reduce the substrate temperatures to 74-78 degrees F.
- Mist the inside of the chamber lid when needed.
- Harvest
Jack Frost Magic Mushroom Growing Parameters:
| Preferred Substrate(s): | Various grain types, compost, pasteurized dung/straw |
| Substrate Temperature (Colonization): | 84/86 degrees F. |
| Substrate Temperature (Fruiting): | 74/78 degrees F. |
| Humidity/FAE | During Colonization: 100%RH, 0 FAE: During Fruiting: 90%RH, FAE 2-5x per day |
Note: Substrate temps should be measured internally using a probe thermometer. We’ve found that multi-probe thermometers, such as this dual probe and this quad probe thermometer are easy and very accurate.
