Strain Origin
The Malabar Coast strain of psilocybe cubensis was discovered in India, in the humid / coastal areas in the southwest of the country. The assumption is that it had been used in India for religious & healing practice, but there is shockingly little information on its use in the nation of its origin. This strain has been popularized primarily by western mycology communities & psychonauts alike, and has found a home as one of the preferred strains in our catalog.
Difficulty
Malabar Coast is quite easy to work with, as it is vigorous, contam-resistant, and not too dissimilar from other popular strains like Golden Teacher. Working with these spores should be pretty approachable for a beginner.
Spore Features
Sub-ellipsoid on 4-spored basidia, dark purple to brownish spores. Caps are generally smaller and don’t tear away from the partial veil until reaches full maturity. Even then the membranous annulus (ring) on the partial veil will remain attached even after full maturity, causing spore deposits to be lighter than other varieties. The spores you will receive are healthy & perfectly ready for microscopy use.
Rarity
Malabar Coast is a pretty rare strain that would make a unique & fun addition to anyones collection. While it may not be as rare as, let’s say, Treasure Coast, the Malabar Coast strain is much harder to find than most other popular strains. Additionally, finding spores that are truly Malabar, pure, and viable adds a layer of difficulty to your sourcing efforts. We’ve been supplying these since ’08 and have a team of mycologists to ensure every last batch.
Cultural Significance
Malabar Coast has its roots deep in the coastline of southwest India. However, it has really found its home here in the USA, specifically amongst Indian Americans & mycologists with a curiosity for international fungi. It will be interesting to watch this mushroom climb in popularity over the next few years!
