1. Psilocybe Samuiensis

2. When traversing through Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand, you’re likely to see not just towering ancient temples. It’s highly likely that you will run into the Psilocybe Samuiensis, a psychedelic mushroom that contains the hallucinogenic compounds psilocybin and psilocin.

3. Psilocybe Samuiensis Strain Guide
This magic mushroom is distinguishable because of its small cap that’s roughly 7mm to 15mm in diameter. It’s usually conic to convex in shape with a small, nipple-like center. The cap is sticky with a membrane that can be easily separated.
Psilocybe samuiensis’ cap also changes based on its own level of moisture. It’s commonly reddish-brown when moist but takes on a lighter brown color when dry. This magic shroom can grow as tall as 6.5cm high and as 1.5cm thick with a slight thickening towards the base. The stem, or stipe, is hollow, whitish, and covered with white fibrils.
When injured, this psychedelic fungus turns a bluish purple color wherever it was handled. Its odor and taste are slightly similar to grain.

4. Psilocybe Samuiensis Habitat
Psilocybe samuiensis was first seen in soil which contains both sand and clay in a village calld Ban hua Thanon in Koh Samui, Thailand. Since then, it has been spotted across the country’s Ranong Province and also at Angkor Wat in Siem Riap, Kampuchea. It prefers to grow in rice paddies during the monsoon season from early July to early September.

5. Psilocybe Samuiensis and Magic Mushroom Tourism in Thailand
While shrooms aren’t legal in Thailand, there are several places in the country where you can purchase and even enjoy them at bars without a problem. There’s nothing like having a fun travel experience, tripping out on magic mushrooms while you’re hallucinating by an exotic beach.
One of the reasons why foreigners enjoy magic mushrooms in Thailand is because they are sold over-the-counter at the places which will be mentioned later on. It’s advised that when you buy shrooms at the bar, enjoy it with your friends and enjoy a nice, little trip while watching the sunset.

6. Koh Phangan
First is Koh Phangan. The Psilocybe amuiensis is popular here although you can still find places where they sell other strains such as the more popular Psilocybe cubensis.
Finding a place to buy magic mushrooms in Koh Phangan is easy. Find your way up the legendary “Mellow Mountain” in Haad Rin Beach. This is the location of the legendary Full Moon Party. This is also where you can slurp down a genuine magic mushroom shake.

7. Koh Samui
And wrapping up this list is Psilocybe samuiensis’ location: Koh Samui. While it is easy to get shrooms or magic mushroom shakes in Koh Samui, a popular destination is “The Rock Bar.” It’s a big tree house on the beach.
Even if you’re not looking to trip, you should still visit the place for its wonderful vibes.
