About the Colombian strain
The Colombian psilocybe cubensis originates from the tropical pastures and forest edges of Colombia, where it was found growing wild in cattle-grazed fields. It gained global recognition in the 1970s during the early mycological exploration of South American strains.
Colombian mushrooms produce thick, robust stems (50–120 mm) and golden-brown to caramel caps (30–70 mm) that deepen in colour as they mature. The strain grows slightly taller than average and is known for dense, heavy fruiting bodies that bruise prominently blue-green when handled.
The experience is typically immersive and potent: vivid visuals, emotional clarity, and a grounded, introspective quality. Colombian sits above average in potency, making it a step up from beginner strains like Mexican while remaining manageable for most growers.

Frequently asked questions
How potent is the Colombian compared to other strains?
Colombian sits above average in the GetMagic® range — stronger than Mexican and Thai, comparable to Ecuadorian, but less intense than McKennaii. Expect vivid visuals and a deep, immersive headspace at standard doses.
What yield can I expect from this 1200 ml kit?
A 1200 ml standard kit typically produces 200–400 g of fresh mushrooms across multiple flushes. The Colombian is known for dense, heavy fruiting bodies so individual mushrooms tend to weigh more. Looking for a bigger harvest? The Colombian is also available as a 2100 ml XL kit.
Why do my Colombian mushrooms grow in different sizes?
This is normal for the Colombian strain. It naturally produces a mix of large and small fruiting bodies within the same flush — some caps can be quite large while others stay compact. The overall yield remains consistent regardless of individual mushroom size.
