Enigma Cubensis is not a species. Rather, it is a mutant form—or, perhaps several mutant forms—of the popular psychoactive species, Psilocybe cubensis. It’s what’s called a “blob mutation.” More on what that means shortly, but it doesn’t produce spores. Instead, Enigma must be propagated entirely by cloning.
Enigma’s claim to fame is that it doesn’t exactly produce mushrooms. When it begins to fruit, it pins just like ordinary P. cubensis, but then something odd happens. The pins don’t start to form caps. Instead, they just get larger and larger and eventually merge together, forming masses of fungal tissue that may resemble brains, cauliflower (the plant), or cauliflower mushrooms. They never make spores.
The masses—blobs—are dense, slow-growing, and often bluish. They can be quite large.
The Enigma blobs may look extremely unusual, but they can be used exactly like psychoactive mushrooms can. They can also be preserved in the same ways, but drying or by immersion in honey. The blobs are actually a better candidate for honey than most mushrooms.
Trip Effects
Enigma magic mushrooms are known to be pretty strong mushrooms, producing intense visuals, out-of-body experiences, and a wide range of other effects.
Some people report feeling more connected to the natural world after taking them, while others say they’ve had life-changing insights into their own identities.
First-time users should be aware that the visuals can be pretty overwhelming, and it is essential to be in a comfortable setting with people you trust.
The effects of Enigma mushrooms vary depending on the person but can include euphoria, hallucinations, increased creativity, and deep spiritual insights. There is also a risk of bad trips, so it is important to be prepared before taking them.
Enigma magic mushrooms are worth trying for those looking to explore the depths of their consciousness. Just be sure to go into it with your eyes wide open.
Like other psilocybin trips, a trip with Enigma usually involves a combination of altered mood, altered perception, and altered thought-patterns.
It’s the altered perception—the hallucinations—that really gets the most attention . Actually, the alteration of perception is a very dose-dependent effect, so that people taking an extremely low dose might experience altered mood and thought-patters without any hallucination at all. Larger doses make thinks seem weird , but only at very high doses do the hallucinations start to seriously compete with reality.
Actual psychonauts are more interested in mood alteration and especially thought-pattern changes, which can include important, even life-changing, insights.
In most cases, mood alteration means euphoria and deep feelings of connectedness—however, extreme anxiety states are also possible. Many people say that what psilocybin really does is to deepen and intensify whatever emotional state the user has going into the experience. Making sure that one’s mental state is relaxed and positive and that the surroundings are safe and comfortable.
How To Dose Enigma Shrooms
