Description

Koh Samui Super Strain Mushroom Information

Koh Samui Super Strain, aka KSS, is a regional variety of Psilocybe cubensis that hails from the island of Koh Samui in Thialand. This variety of psychedelic mushrooms is reported to have a higher potency than other p. Cubensis varieties, however, this is debated as a fact that potency can depend on a number of environmental and growth factors. However, users report that the KSS provides intense visual effects, deep introspection, and euphoria.

The history of the Koh Samui Super Strain is somewhat unclear, but it is believed to have been first discovered in the early 1990s by an American named John Allen. Allen was living in Thailand at the time and came across a strain of mushrooms that he believed to be highly potent. He brought spores back to the United States and began cultivating the mushrooms, eventually naming them the Koh Samui Super Strain.

When it comes to growing conditions, the Koh Samui Super Strain is similar to other strains of P. cubensis. They prefer warm and humid environments and can be grown using a variety of methods, including the use of pre-sterilized substrates or growing them on grain.

How To Grow Koh Samui Super Strain Magic Mushrooms

Like other south-east Asian varieties, the Koh Samui Super Strain This sub-variety is considered average difficult to grow, making it a good starter strain for new growers. There are a variety of different ways to grow Koh Samui Super Strain 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 KSS 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

Koh Samui Super Strain 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. Sources:The Mushroom Cultivator (P. Stamets), psilosophy.info,psilopedia.com,spores101.co
