Enigma
Enigma Magic Mushroom Information
Enigma mushrooms are a type of psychedelic mushroom that has gained popularity in recent years due to their unique appearance. Enigma Cubensis is not classified as a distinct species but instead is a form of the widely known psychoactive species Psilocybe cubensis. Unlike golden caps, however, the Enigma mushroom displays a mutated structure or possibly several mutated structures, known as a “blob mutation.” Because of this mutation, this mushroom does not produce spores and instead requires propagation through cloning.
- Origin: Isolated Mutation of Tidal Wave
- Founder: Unknown
- Potency: Very high
- Effects: Strong visual distortion, feelings of interconnectedness, euphoria, and deep contemplation.
Description
Effects of Enigma Mushrooms:
The trip effects of Enigma are similar to those of other P. cubensis strains. While some claim that different strains produce unique trips, others believe the only difference is potency. Enigma’s unique growth form is purely aesthetic and doesn’t alter the style of its trips. The effects are usually a combination of altered mood, perception, and thought patterns, with hallucinations being the most attention-grabbing aspect to non-users. However, the alteration of perception is dependent on the dose, and lower doses may result in altered mood and thought patterns without hallucinations. Higher doses can lead to intense hallucinations, but actual psychonauts are more interested in the alteration of thought patterns that can provide valuable insights.
Enigma Potency:
This shroom is extraordinarily potent and considered the most potent variant of all known psilocybin Cubensis varieties. This strain recently won 1st and 2nd place in the Psilocybin Cup 2022 held in Oakland, California. Testing at 3.8 % tryptamine, to put that in context the average Cubensis has 0.7% tryptamine content. At these levels, the Enigma varient is nearly 4 times as potent as a typical Cubensis. So consume at your own risk.Â
How To Grow Enigma Magic Mushrooms
This variety grows similarly to any other cubensis variety, however, some growers report it to be more of a challenge to grow than standard gold caps. When growing Enigma 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 post:- Innoculate grain bag with 3-5cc of Enigma 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 lid 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. Remember to keep the relative humidity at levels of 90-95% during fruiting.
- Harvest
