Most Popular Cubensis Strains

An increasing amount of research is showing more or less conclusively that mushrooms have measurable therapeutic effects depending upon mushroom strains.

As any amateur microscopist will tell you, there are countless different strains of mushroom species and strains with different effects and potency – that’s what makes them such a wonderful specimen for fungal taxonomy. There are also strain-specific therapeutic benefits, and what about the strongest cubensis strain or the most common mushroom strains for mushroom enthusiasts?

  • Information on the cubensis mushroom strains topic is limited and how that could change in future mushroom research
  • How limited anecdotal evidence has indicated that different strains do have different benefits

Why Different Mushroom Strains May Have Different Therapeutic Applications

In most mushroom research, such as clinical trials, the form of cubensis being used has been synthesized. In other words, it’s pure—like an extract. This makes accurate dosing much easier and rules out the effects of any other compounds typically found in mushrooms, allowing for researchers to study the effects of mushrooms specifically.

In the field of mushroom research, there’s a subsection of researchers who are proponents of what they call “whole fungi therapy.” The gist of the research is this: the benefit of mushrooms may be enhanced by the other compounds naturally found in the fungi, which explains the different effects people may experience when consuming different strains of mushrooms.

Most Major Clinical Trials Haven’t Explored Cross-Strains or Strain-Specific Therapy

Major clinical trials and research have focused largely on the effects of mushrooms specifically, but a growing number of researchers are interested in learning more about the potential benefits of whole fungi therapy.

If whole fungi therapy proves to be more beneficial than purified mushroom doses, then we may see more and more research being done on whole fungi. Which naturally will lead to researchers investigating the different kinds of mushroom strains.

Anecdotal Evidence Indicates Different Strains May Be Effective for Different Purposes

Golden Teacher, Luminous Lucies, and Jedi Mind Fuck Strains

For now, most “research” into the different strains of mushrooms and their potential therapeutic effects are largely anecdotal. For example, the Golden Teacher syringe spores are known to cause contemplative, introspective trips from their mushroom fruiting body. In nature, however, the RIP Tide Mushroom is very potent.

Other mushroom strains, such as Luminous Lucies and the Jedi Mind Fuck have been reported by psychonauts as being a very visually-oriented experience.

What Is A Psychonaut?

While nobody can definitively say which mushroom strain gives the “best trip”, our knowledge of cubensis mushrooms is growing each day as we hear customer feedback. At least anecdotally perhaps soon mainstream science will be following suit to take advantage of physiological and psychological effects and potential benefits.
