History of the Hillbilly Mushrooms
The original sample of hillbilly magic mushroom was discovered in Arkansas, Southern United States, in the mid to late-1990s. The strain more or less disappeared from the scene during the 2000s, overshadowed by bigger shrooms, more potent strains, and more intriguing genetics. However, its podium finish as “Microdose Champion” has gained some interest.
Hillbilly mushroom spore samples are slowly reappearing in the product listings of major spore vendors across the globe, and cultivators and shroom fanatics are loving it. The Hillbilly strain is back, and it’s “trendy” again.
Hillbilly Mushroom Potency & Psilocybin Content
The hillbilly magic mushroom strain isn’t famed for its potency. In fact, it’s famous for quite the opposite — its lack of potency.
This strain gained a place in the Spring 2022 Oakland Hyphae Psilocybin Cup in the “Microdose Champion” section, producing 0.49% total tryptamines (0.23% psilocybin and 0.11% psilocin).
With results from its podium finish in the Spring 2022 Cup as well as data from previous testing, we’ve rated this strain as “Average” — capable of producing no more than 1% total tryptamines. Although this isn’t attractive for the cultivator looking to grow highly psychedelic shrooms, it’s ideal for the person looking to microdose psilocybin.
The Cup’s notes mentioned something peculiar about the tryptamine composition of this strain. It produced abnormally high concentrations of “norpsilocin” — also known as 4-HO-NMT (4-hydroxy-N-methyltryptamine). This compound is a derivative of psilocin, but it’s less potent in terms of its psychedelic effects.
Norpsilocin may have a milder impact on perception, cognition, and mood. This potentially makes that compound a stronger candidate for microdosing compared to psilocybin and psilocin.
How to Grow Hillbilly Mushrooms
Hillbilly Mushrooms are easily grown, even by beginners to magic mushroom cultivation. This strain will grow on most substrates, but we recommend rye grain or BRF — a mixture of brown rice flour, water, and vermiculite.
Sterile spore syringes filled with Hillbilly genetics are easy to obtain. Spores in this format are the easiest for beginners to get to grips with.
The best way to grow these mushrooms is to use a cultivation method known as Psilocybe Fanaticus Technique (PF Tek for short). This method requires very few pieces of equipment, minimal investment, and little knowledge of mushroom cultivation — making it perfect for beginners.
