MVP (Most Valuable Producer) P. Cubensis
MVP Magic Mushroom Information
Psilocybe cubensis is a species of psychedelic mushroom that is popular among users of tryptamine-based psychedelic drugs. Within this species, there are a number of regional variants, hybrids, and isolations. The MVP is just one of those hybrids.
MVP, affectionately known as the “Most Valuable Producer,” is a strain of Psilocybe cubensis that wears its veil of mystery quite well. Its lineage and historical roots remain elusive, but what we do know is that it’s celebrated for its moderate psychedelic effects, and is a cross “OG TAT” and Melmac.
Description
Origin: The story of the MVP
-
- MVP emerged from the clandestine ‘TAM project.’ Picture lab coats, mysterious spores, and late-night whispers about fungal secrets.
- The TAM project played matchmaker: it introduced the True Albino Teacher (TAT) to Melmak. Sparks flew (or spores floated?), and a variety of isolations sprouted forth.
- Among these, MVP stood tall—a genetic superstar in the mycological arena.
-
What’s in a Name?
- MVP doesn’t stand for “Most Valuable Player” here; it’s the “Most Valuable Producer.” Think of it as the mushroom equivalent of a blockbuster film producer.
- This name isn’t just for show—it’s the pigmented, stable love child of TAT and Melmak. Genetics, my friend, are the ultimate scriptwriters.

Potency and Suitability:
- MVP isn’t just a pretty face. It’s got substance:
- Above Average Potency: Buckle up for a mind voyage. It’s like upgrading from a bicycle to a rocket ship.
- Audience: Whether you’re a curious newbie or a seasoned psychonaut, MVP welcomes all. No velvet ropes here.
- MVP isn’t just a pretty face. It’s got substance:
How To Grow MVP Magic Mushrooms
MVP is relatively easy to grow. They can be grown using popular substrates such as rye grain, brown rice flour, and wild bird seed.
When growing MVP we 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:- Inoculate grain bag with 3-5cc of MVP 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.
