If you’re a psychonaut planning a trip to Thailand, you might want to add Koh Samui island to your list of places to visit!
This beautiful island is home to a special kind of magic mushroom that has some pretty amazing properties. Locals have been using psychedelic mushrooms here for centuries.
There’s some debate about what species Koh Samui mushrooms refer to. In most cases, Koh Samui refers to a particular strain of Psilocybe cubensis that was collected from the island of Koh Samui by the amateur mycologist Mushroom John Allen in the 90s. However, there’s also a separate species of psilocybin-containing mushroom found here called Psilocybe samuiensis, but it’s not common to find these mushrooms or their spores online.
Some experts place this Thai magic mushroom strain under the Mexicanae genus of psilocybe mushrooms rather than Psilocybe cubensis. If this were true, it would make Koh Samui mushrooms the only strain from the Mexicanaue genus that’s found outside North America
Gastón Guzmán, a Mexican mycologist and anthropologist, placed this mushroom in the Mexicanae category due to its rhomboid-shaped spores and its ability to grow sclerotia, a compact growth in the mycelium containing food reserves, which is an evolutionary trait that emerged from surviving extreme temperatures.
But most experts argue that Koh Samui mushrooms are, in fact, a strain of Psilocybe cubensis.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Mushroom Spore Print is the first (or last!?) stage in the reproductive lifecycle of a fungus! Once a mushroom fruiting body has reached maturiy, the cap is separated from the stipe and placed on aluminum foil. After some time, the gills will release the spores held on the basidium, and they will fall to the foil!
