Iceberg

Description

The Iceberg Mushroom Strain

The Iceberg mushroom is a unique and powerful sub-strain of Psilocybe cubensis, offering an unmatched combination of visual appeal, potency, and ease of cultivation. Iceberg is a rare albino mutation of the regional variant, Thai Lipa, which hails from the Lipa Yai region in Thailand. Iceberg is known for its stunning albino appearance, with cracked caps resembling an iceberg. Its unique genetic makeup sets it apart from other strains, offering an unparalleled experience for beginners and psychonauts alike.

Iceberg Mushroom Effects

The effects of consuming this mushroom align with other Thai p. cubensis varieties. However, users report that the Iceberg is far more potent than your run-of-the-mill magic mushroom. Users report euphoric experiences with strong visual hallucinations and deep spiritual experiences.

Iceberg Appearance

The mushrooms produced by the Iceberg cubensis are white in color with convex, dome-shaped, caps that often split. Dense fruits with small veils expose wavy gills. These mushrooms may also have tints of blue, indicating oxidation to the powerful psychedelic substances flowing through their flesh.

Growing Iceberg Mushrooms

Like its genetic parent, this sub-species is considered of average difficulty to grow. There are a variety of different ways to grow Iceberg mushrooms. Yet, the most beginner-friendly method 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 post:

1. Inoculate grain bag with 3-5cc of Iceberg liquid culture or spores via spore syringe.
2. 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.
3. Once fully colonized, prepare the tin container and begin layering the substrate and colonized grain. Begin and end with a layer of the substrate.
4. Set aside for re-colonization (10-14 days)
5. Prepare the li by adding fresh air holes and cover with micro-pore tape.
6. Replace the lid and place the tin into fruiting conditions. Reduce the ambient temperatures to reduce the substrate temperatures to 74-78 degrees F.
7. Mist the inside of the chamber lid when needed.
8. Harvest
