The Steel Magnolia strain of Psilocybe cubensis is a relatively rare and potent variety known for its intense visual effects, euphoric sensations, and deep introspection. It is believed to be a hybrid strain, possibly derived from Penis Envy (PE) genetics, giving it a higher-than-average psilocybin content. This makes it a favorite among experienced psychonauts seeking strong visuals, emotional depth, and spiritual exploration. With a potency of of 1.03% psilocybin concentration per gram this strain is an amazing upper mid level strain.

Thick, sturdy stems that bruise deep blue when handled, indicating high psilocybin levels.
Dense, medium-to-large caps with a light golden to caramel hue.
