How to take and safely dose African Transkey Mushrooms

African Transkei

Transkei has taken the world by storm, washing away the spiritual side of shrooms effects and transforming a psychedelic trip into a sensory party.
The cubensis Transkei strain is the first of Africa’s psilocybin mushrooms to make it into wide circulation. Although it grows wild, its potency is on par with mushrooms at the forefront of innovation — like Gold Member and Makilla Gorilla — and it often surpasses them in terms of sights and bodily sensations. Before you get tripping on mushrooms that are fit for the Black Pharaohs, let’s explore how they got to the top of the pyramid.

African mushrooms: Ancient rock to rock ‘n’ roll

Humans originally evolved on the African continent, and — according to the U.S. Forest Service [1] — “the oldest known petroglyph depicting the use of psychoactive mushrooms” was discovered in Algeria. Whether this is a testament to the Stoned Ape Theory or simply a fungi fact, Africa and the types of psychedelic mushrooms that flourish there have a history of inspiring trippy artwork, from geometric patterns to distorted face masks.

As figures dance along stone walls with their fists full of mushrooms — surrounded by what appears to be psychedelia — anthropologists can’t help but wonder if altered states of consciousness are what caused us to start creating art in the first place. [2] The ‘60s and ‘70s certainly attest to this theory, and the spores of the psilocybin experience are spreading as proliferously as culture from that era. African shrooms are no exception.

From Panaeolus species such as africanus, tropicalis, and cyanescens to Psilocybe strains like cubensis and mairei, the African magic mushroom kingdom is a pangea just waiting to be dispersed throughout the planet.

One already has, and its artistic power awaits in our online shroom store.

Transkei: A shroom trip to the top of the pyramid

The story is that in January 2002, the first Transkei mushroom specimen was spotted in a pile of excrement under a shady tree in the South Africa Transkei region, which is now called the Wild Coast. Amidst subtropical conditions and stunning untamed landscapes, this saprotrophic beauty was collected and scouted as a member of the Psilocybe cubensis crew.

Cattle dung and cultivation spread the Transkei cubensis throughout the world. It also came to be known as “African Pyramid” due to its pyramidal structure, sturdy stem, and probable connection to ancient creations. In particular, it was named after the Nubian Pyramids of Sudan, which were built sooner and in higher numbers than the epic Pyramids of Egypt. [3]

What Are African Transkei Mushrooms?

Alright, let’s get to the basics! African Transkei mushrooms, often simply called Transkei mushrooms, are a unique variety of Psilocybe cubensis. These magical mushrooms hail from the Transkei region of South Africa, where they were first discovered in the wild.

Transkei mushrooms are known for their distinct appearance and potent effects. They typically have a golden-brown cap with a white stem, and when dried, they can sometimes take on a bluish tint—this is perfectly normal and actually a good sign that they’re potent!

But what makes these mushrooms really special isn’t just their looks. It’s the active ingredient inside them: psilocybin. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound that can lead to profound experiences, ranging from visual and auditory hallucinations to deep emotional and spiritual insights.

Remember, using these mushrooms safely and responsibly is key. Stick with us as we guide you through identifying, dosing, and using African Transkei mushrooms in a way that’s safe and beneficial.

How to identify magic mushrooms Transkei-style

If you are proficient at identifying magic mushrooms, opening your eyes to the best Psilocybe cubensis strain for open-eye visuals is easy. [4] Here is how to ensure that what you have in your hand is an African Transkei:

  • The Cap: A broad, pyramidal cap fades from orange to white.
  • The Gills: Crowded, purplish-gray to black gills taper outward.
  • The Stipe: A solid, slightly gnarled stem bruises a bluish colour.
  • The Veil: A veil attaches firmly to the stem and tears at the cap.
  • The Spores: Dark spores produce a purple-brown spore print.

If you buy dried shrooms — and you definitely should! — their surface will be textured. Always buy shrooms online from a trusted dispensary.

Tips for Taking and Dosing African Transkei Mushrooms

So, you’ve learned what African Transkei mushrooms are, and now you’re ready to explore how to take them safely and effectively. Whether you’re a first-timer or looking to refine your experience, here are some friendly tips to guide you on your journey.

1. Start Low, Go Slow

When it comes to dosing, the golden rule is to start low and go slow. Everyone’s body reacts differently to psilocybin, so it’s important to begin with a small dose and see how you feel.

  • Microdose: 0.1 – 0.3 grams (Minimal to no perceptible effects, good for daily therapeutic use)
  • Low Dose: 0.5 – 1 gram (Light effects, mild visuals, and slight changes in perception)
  • Moderate Dose: 1 – 2.5 grams (Noticeable effects, stronger visuals, and deeper emotional experiences)

2. Prepare Your Setting

Your environment plays a huge role in your experience. Choose a safe, comfortable space where you feel at ease. This could be a cozy room with soft lighting, calming music, and items that make you feel safe and happy.

3. Have a Trip Sitter

Especially if you’re new to psilocybin mushrooms, having a trusted friend with you—a trip sitter—can be incredibly helpful. They can provide reassurance and help you stay grounded if things get intense.

4. Stay Hydrated and Have Snacks

Mushrooms can sometimes cause dry mouth or an upset stomach. Keep water and light snacks nearby. Ginger tea or chewable ginger candies can help with nausea.

5. Reflect and Integrate

After your experience, take some time to reflect on what you felt and saw. Journaling can be a great way to process your thoughts and integrate the insights you’ve gained into your daily life.

Please remember: Psilocybin mushrooms can have powerful effects, and they are not suitable for everyone. If you have a history of mental health issues, particularly psychosis, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before trying them. In Canada, psilocybin is only legal under specific circumstances, such as for medical use with a prescription or through authorized clinical trials. Always ensure you’re complying with local laws and regulations.

African Pyramid mushroom trip tips and activities

You might know how to do shrooms . . . but don’t you think the most magical mushroom of all deserves an extra special setting or activity?

To make the most of your Transkeis, choose a safe space, call a trip sitter, mind your dosage, and keep Trip Fade Capsules on hand just in case. The possibilities are endless, but here are shroom-gestions to get you started:

  1. Meditate — Mindfulness enhances the effects of psilocybin. [5]
  2. Dream big — Magic mushrooms can summon fresh insights. [6]
  3. Enter the void — Tracers turn a light show into a space odyssey.
  4. Paint your playlist — Psychedelics often cause synaesthesia. [7]
  5. Park on the wild side — We have a trip guide for every province.
  6. Plan a mini Burning Man — Become the creature you are inside.

The Transkei cubensis isn’t meant for beginners. To brush up on tips for tripping, be sure to read our Magic Mushroom Guide before you munch.

The African mushroom drug taking over the world

You’ve probably heard by now about the therapeutic value of psilocybin for depression, anxiety, and addiction [8] . . . but have you ever tried the magic mushrooms that may have helped chart our evolutionary course?

African Pyramids stand out as one of the most visual and body-tingling shrooms in existence. Shrouded in colour, culture, and a microdose of mystery, they were surely created by — and for — African Party Gods.

Your go-to Amigos for global magic mushrooms
