History of Wollygong Mushrooms

The Wollongong strain originated in South Eastern Australia, near the city of Wollongong, situated not far from Sydney.

For decades, amateur cultivators nationwide have quietly favoured this strain as it circulated within the Australian market. Its existence remained largely unknown beyond Australia until recently.

Whispers of its resilience to contamination and robust colonization abilities began to echo within the global mushroom community. Eventually, its spores found their way into North America via Ralphsters Spores.

Slowly but surely, the Wollongong strain is gaining traction owing to its favourable characteristics. Its reputation for easy cultivation and bountiful yields is spreading. 

Physical Characteristics

You’ll recognize Wollygong shrooms by their cream-gold colour caps and sizable stalks. This strain also boasts robust stems that stand out in proportion to its cap.

After the drying process, the stems may appear less substantial. Dried Wollygong shrooms may exhibit occasional hints of a bluish tint.

This bluing phenomenon is entirely natural and occurs when the mushrooms undergo bruising. Magic mushrooms are delicate and can easily develop discolouration during harvesting, storage, and transit. Don’t worry, as bruising does not impact the mushrooms’ quality in any manner and poses no cause for concern.

Potency

The Wollongong strain has an average potency, with an approximate total tryptamine content ranging from 0.5% to 0.9%. It demonstrates an average potency relative to other Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. It shares similarities with Golden Teacher mushrooms.

Effects

Wollongong’s recreational dose offers a gentle embrace by inducing a sense of tranquillity, euphoria, and heightened mood without overwhelming sensations. It invites a state of openness and sociability. The senses sharpen and allow a deeper appreciation of its vibrations and significance.

The effects of Wollongong will begin within 10 to 30 minutes of consumption and last 5 to 6 hours.

How to Use Wollygong Shrooms

Direct Chewing

The most straightforward method is to chew the shrooms thoroughly and swallow them. As you chew, the psychoactive psilocybin compound is gradually released with the assistance of your saliva and absorbed into your bloodstream.

The effects manifest swiftly and deliver a more immediate and intensified experience. Onset occurs within 30 to 45 minutes and peaks around 2 to 3 hours later.

Tea

Steep finely chopped or ground shrooms in hot water for 15 to 20 minutes. This method offers a more palatable alternative. Avoid boiling the mushrooms in the water, as excessive heat can degrade the psilocybin content.

The onset occurs within 15 to 30 minutes and tends to yield a milder and more gradual psychedelic experience compared to ingesting the mushrooms directly.

Capsules

Ground mushrooms and add them to an empty capsule for a convenient and discreet method of consumption. Magic mushroom capsules appeal to individuals seeking precise dosing without encountering the earthy flavour. 

Capsules offer a delayed onset as the body gradually breaks down the capsule.

Lemon Tek

The citric acid found in lemons converts psilocybin into psilocin to enhance the potency of the psychedelic concoction. Use a smaller dose than you would with other methods, as this technique can amplify the effects of shrooms. Lemon tek can lead to a faster onset and a more intense yet shorter trip. Users often report feeling the effects within as little as 15 to 20 minutes.

Safety Tips

1. Make sure you’re in a safe environment where you can feel both physically and emotionally secure for your first trip. Allocate at least 6-8 hours for your trip and make necessary preparations beforehand.
2. Surround yourself with people you trust and feel comfortable with, especially those who can support you in case of a challenging journey. Having a companion familiar with shrooms can offer valuable guidance and reassurance.
3. Consider indulging in a nourishing meal a couple of hours prior and pack essentials such as water, a journal, and comfortable attire to enhance your comfort.
4. Approach the experience with an open mind by letting go of any preconceived notions and surrendering to the journey. Relaxation and adaptability are key to fostering a positive trip. 
5. In the event of a challenging experience, practice deep breathing and listen to calming music to ground yourself. Remember, you are safe, and discomfort will eventually subside.
6. Opt for convenient consumption methods like chocolates, gummies, or capsules to avoid the unpleasant taste of dried shrooms.
7. If you have a heart condition or psychotic disorder, or if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, refrain from consuming shrooms. If you’re currently taking antidepressants like SSRIs, it’s best to avoid shrooms.
