Description

e a strain of Psilocybe cubensis, one of the most commonly used species of psilocybin mushroom. The latter is a medium-strength magic mushroom, whereas McKennaii mushrooms — like many other strains of Psilocybe cubensis — are very potent. This means that they contain higher concentrations of the compounds psilocybin and psilocin, which are responsible for psychedelic effects.

McKennaii cubensis mushrooms get their name from the psychonaut, lecturer, author, and psilocybin enthusiast Terence McKenna.

McKenna was known to discuss and recommend the high dose psilocybin experience in many of his talks, so perhaps it’s fitting that a potent type of magic mushroom would be named after him. This strain of Psilocybe cubensis is much sought after for its potency. This makes it one of the most potent magic mushrooms.
