Every magic mushroom hunter knows that when looking for the psychedelic fungi, you would fare better when searching on grassy meadows and lawns. One of these meadow-loving shrooms is the Psilocybe strictipes, one of the nearly 200 species of magic mushrooms that contain the psychoactive substances psilocybin, psilocin, and baeocystin.

Psilocybe Strictipes Strain Guide

Psilocybe strictipes is usually confused with Psilocybe semilanceata but it can be differentiated by inspecting some of its features.

First, P. strictipes has a farinaceous or starchy smell and taste. The cap is 5 to 30mm in diameter. Its shape is convex to bell-shaped and is commonly smooth with translucent stripes. It also has a low-reaching nipple-like protrusion at the center.

Just like most magic mushrooms, it’s hygrophanous which means its color changes whenever it becomes dry. When hydrated, the cap is walnut brown to dark, rusty brown covered by a membrane that can be easily peeled off. However, it fades to buff when it dries.

Underneath the cap, the gills can be seen. They are usually cream-colored when young but turn purple brown when mature. And finally, its spores are dark, purple brown.

The stem, also known as the stipe, is a tough cartilaginous structure with fibrous patches, usually with a white to ochre hue. It is 4 to 10cm long and around quarter of a centimeter thick. This is also one of the reasons why this mushroom’s name translates to “narrow or slender foot.” This narrow stem is also covered by a thin, partial veil.

You can expect the parts where it has been injured or handled to turn blue as a normal reaction by psilocybin.

Psilocybe Strictipes Habitat

Psilocybe strictipes commonly grows on grassy meadows and lawns. It’s distributed in throughout the cool temperate and subarctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It’s seen fruiting in late summer to fall in Chile, England, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Scotland, Slovakia, Siberia, Sweden, and the Pacific Northwest in the United States.

Unlike the Psilocybe cubensis, it’s never seen growing directly from dung.

Are Psilocybe Strictipes Effects Different from Psilocybe Cubensis?

They may be different species but when it comes to effects, Psilocybe strictipes are very similar to Psilocybe cubensis on a chemical level. They both contain the hallucinogenic compounds psilocin and psilocybin and affect the body in many ways.

Under the influence of psilocybin and psilocin, the body becomes sedated as evidenced by excessive yawning. Shroomers can expect physical energy levels to decrease and experience effects similar to stoning. This effect progresses to body heaviness, an effect that corresponds to the general sedation that makes you too lazy and tired to move. However, this only occurs during the first half of the psilocybin experience.

Psilocybe strictipes will also create spontaneous physical sensations. Psilocybin from magic mushrooms creates a body high that can only be described as a pleasurable, soft, and all-encompassing tingling sensation or glow. This is usually felt as the effects of psilocybin rises until it reaches its highest point.
During the come down, this tingling sensation would also wear off.

Your sense of touch will become more sensitive. Even the slightest movement of air current will send ticklish or itchy sensations throughout your skin.

A discussion about this psychedelic mushroom’s effects would not be complete without a conversation about the hallucinations it produces.

Visual hallucinations can progress form simple visual enhancement to more complicated visual distortions and patterns. Among the visual enhancements are deeper color saturation, sharpness of vision, and increased ability to see patterns in mundane, random objects.

Visual distortions are more intense. They go beyond enhancing vision and make you see objects or patterns which are not actually there. This includes seeing objects that flow, breathe, morph, and melt. A general term for this kind of hallucination is “drifting.” Compared to other psychedelics, drifting from Psilocybe strictipes is highly detailed, and more realistic.

This also includes seeing geometric patterns which are highly similar to those produced by LSD. These patterns vary from one person to another but are consistently complex, abstract, bright, multi-colored, and have an organic feel.

At doses higher than 5g, psilocybin from Psilocybe strictipes can put you in a dreamlike state. These waking “dreams” can range in theme but profound spiritual and transcendental visions are among the most common.

And finally, Psilocybe strictipes is also capable of influencing one’s thought processes. Among these cognitive effects is the enhancement of emotions. It’s important to ingest this magic mushroom with a positive mindset to prevent any bad trips that may result from a magnified negative emotion. When taken with a positive state of mind, you will experience strong feelings of compassion, affection, and empathy. At lower doses, it can make you more sociable.

Another mental effect is catharsis – the intense relief felt from strong or repressed negative emotions. This is a healing emotion that purges you of interpersonal afflictions and past traumas. It varies in consistency and strength depending on the psilocybin dose.

Your ability to process information to create logical ideas will also be enhanced. Psilocybin leads you to deep and complex states of contemplation which result in an overflow of insightful ideas. You are able to dissect and rationalize problems to reach new conclusions. Some people even feel the universe has opened up its secrets to them.

And finally, there is cognitive euphoria. This is the state wherein a person experiences strong feelings of elation, excitement, and happiness with an overwhelming sense of contentment and emotional bliss.

Other cognitive changes include increased appreciation of music, though organization, memory enhancement, simultaneous emotions, and confusion.
