  • Not much is known about Psilocybe mescaleroensis
    other than the details of its appearance and that
    it contains psilocybin and psilocin as its
    main hallucinogenic compounds.
  • A close relative of the Psilocybe cyanescens,
    this mushroom was brought to scientific attention
    by Lee Walstad.

Psilocybe Mescaleroensis Strain Guide
  • A relatively new species, knowledge about the
    Psilocybe mescaleroensis is somewhat limited to
    its appearance and effects. Its cap is 2cm to 6cm
    across, convex with a small nipple-like
    protrusion at the center. The cap is also
    hygrophanous, which means it changes color based
    on its moisture levels. When moist, its sticky
    with a brownish-yellow hue which becomes pale
    when dry. Like its close relative, the Psilocybe
    cyanescens, the cap of P. mescaleroensis is wavy.

Psilocybe Mescaleroensis Strain Guide
  • The gills underneath the cap is cream-colored
    when young but turns chocolate brown in older
    specimens. The white stipe, also known as the
    stem, is 5cm to 10cm long and 0.5 to 2
    centimeters thick. This magic mushroom also
    produces dark, chocolate brown spores which dust
    the stipe and the base of the stem is riddled
    with rhizomorphic mycelium.
  • Like most psilocybin mushrooms, the Psilocybe
    mescaleroensis has a starchy odor and taste and
    the majority of the mushrooms parts turn dark
    blue when handled.

5
Psilocybe Mescaleroensis Habitat
  • So far, Psilocybe mescaleroensis has only been
    seen in the Sierra Blanca range near Mescalero of
    New Mexico hence its name during summer and
    fall. This hallucinogenic mushroom grows in small
    clusters on dead grasses, grasslands, and savanna
    near the ponderosa pine woodlands.

Psilocybe Mescaleroensis Effects
  • The hallucinogenic mushroom Psilocybe
    mescaleroensis contains psilocybin and psilocin.
    This species and other magic mushrooms growing in
    Mexico have been used in religious rites for
    centuries and are still used today. In modern
    society, these psychedelic mushrooms are used
    medicinally, recreationally, scientifically, and
    spiritually.
  • Psilocybe Mescaleroensis Visual Effects.
  • Psilocybe Mescaleroensis Physical Effects.
  • Psilocybe Mescaleroensis Cognitive Effects.

7
Visual Effects
  • As a potent hallucinogenic, you can expect
    Psilocybe mescaleroensis to produce visual
    enhancements and distortions. Enhancements and
    distortions are two different groupings of visual
    effects produced by this magic mushroom.
  • Visual enhancements are more rooted in reality
    and are quite light compared to distortions.
    Saturation of colors, being more able to
    recognize patterns in everyday objects, and
    visual acuity are the visual enhancements
    produced by Psilocybe mescaleroensis.
  • The visual distortions produced by this magic
    mushroom include drifting or seeing static
    objects that appear to move, color shifting,
    visual haze, appearance of patterns, and
    hallucinations.

8
Physical Effects
  • Body heaviness This effect comes from the
    relaxation produced by the psilocybin mushrooms.
    This manifests as a sudden heaviness of the body
    that makes movement difficult particularly during
    the first half of the experience.
  • Sedation Expect physical energy levels to be
    considerably reduced. Psilocybin is known to be
    relaxing, stoning, and mildly sedating. Youll
    know sedations has hit when you start yawning
    uncontrollably.
  • Physical euphoria Euphoria is more than just a
    feeling of happiness. It is an intense feeling of
    well-being, a sensation you can expect with magic
    mushrooms.

9
Physical Effects
  • Enhancement of touch This effect from magic
    mushrooms is less intense compared to other drugs
    such as LSD but its still quite prominent. This
    can only be described as an itch or tickle from
    the small hairs on the users arms and legs.
  • Spontaneous sensations The body high from
    psilocybin results in an all-encompassing glow.
    This is a consistent presence that rises as the
    body absorbs more of the drug. Once the peak has
    been reached, expect euphoria or immobilization
    depending on the dose.
  • Changes in body form Users will feel they are
    conjoined with a greater cause. This usually
    happens around the peak of the experience. Most
    people perceive comfort, and peacefulness.
  • Nausea When shroomers ingest magic mushrooms on
    a full stomach, this results in nausea. Its
    recommended to empty the stomach 3 to 4 hours
    before taking a magic mushroom orally to avoid
    its effects on the stomach.

10
Cognitive Effects
  • Enhancement of emotions Emotions become more
    prominent and profound on magic mushrooms when
    compared to other psychedelics. This leads to
    strong feelings of compassion, and sympathy. On
    rare occasions and on lower doses, shroomers may
    become sociable.
  • Suppression of the brains language center You
    will still be able to form coherent thoughts in
    your mind but youre unable to verbalize these
    ideas. Basic words will start to feel unfamiliar
    and you become unable or unwilling to talk aloud.
    This effect is most common among inexperienced
    users.
  • Confusion and feelings of impending doom In
    high doses in inexperienced users, magic mushroom
    users become anxious and terribly unable to
    focus. However, this can also be met with
    sensations of euphoria, catharsis, and
    rejuvenation depending on ones state of mind.

11
Cognitive Effects
  • Ego replacement The breaking down of ones ego
    has been credited as the reason why magic
    mushrooms can improve ones personality and
    outlook. By removing ones sense of identity and
    the restrictions on ones thinking process, you
    will be more open to more ideas and be free of
    unhealthy, obsessive thinking. This is common in
    higher doses of the drug.
  • Personality regression This is a rare effect
    but many trip sitters have observed shroomers
    personality to regress back to happier, more
    innocent times. This normalizes after the trip is
    over.
  • Rejuvenation It can happen at any point but it
    typically follows a difficult phase of the
    experience. It is always felt at the end of a
    psilocybin experience and as one transitions back
    to being normal, this results to an afterglow.

12
Cognitive Effects
  • Time distortion Many shroomers have reported
    feeling as if hours have passed when in reality,
    only minutes have passed by. Because of this
    distortion in ones sense of time, most shroomers
    feel as if a whole day has passed just by taking
    one dose of magic mushrooms.
  • Synesthesia At high doses, magic mushrooms can
    temporarily change the brains wiring. This leads
    to a crossover of the hearing and visual nerve
    highways which causes shroomers to see sounds
    and to hear colors.
