The Melmac Squat strain is a unique and highly potent variety of Psilocybe cubensis, believed to be a mutation of the classic Melmac strain, which itself is a variation of Penis Envy (PE). This strain is famous for its thick, squat-like appearance, extreme potency, and deeply introspective effects. Due to its high psilocybin content, Melmac Squat is best suited for experienced users seeking intense visuals, deep self-exploration, and profound psychedelic experiences. At a 1.04% psilocybin concentration this strain is in the upper level potency.
Appearance:
Short, thick, and dense stems (hence the name "Squat").
Large, wavy, and sometimes misshapen caps with a golden to caramel hue.
Deep blue bruising when handled, indicating very high psilocybin content.
Slow-growing, similar to Penis Envy, but produces extremely potent mushrooms.
Potency:
Very high potency
2-3x stronger than standard P. cubensis strains like B+ or Golden Teacher.
Produces intense visuals, ego dissolution, and deep introspection.
Effects:
Extreme visuals—fractals, geometric patterns, and reality warping.
Profound introspection and ego dissolution—can be overwhelming for beginners.
Emotional intensity—users may feel waves of euphoria, nostalgia, or deep insight.
Time distortion—minutes may feel like hours.
Why It Stands Out
One of the most potent cubensis varieties.
Thick, squat appearance makes it visually distinct.
More euphoric and less physically heavy than classic Penis Envy.
Best for experienced users due to its intensity.
Comparison to Other Strains
