My first nat clone tub. It had some bacterial issues but actually surprised me. Little bit of sporesplosion happened while I was out dancing, but...

 It was looking like it was going to be a tangled mess of sparse tiny snakes, but after like only 8 hours, I came back to them being straight and twice as tall and filled out...which is nicer for harvesting, so I see this as progress.

Wow. I picked my first fruits a couple of days back to do a bit of cloning and take some spore prints. There weren't many, but I put them in the dehydrator on Thursday afternoon rather than waiting for more.
There was just over 4g dry when I took them out yesterday afternoon. I powdered them and mixed with an equal volume of chocolate. At first I thought I'd need to add more chocolate to help with the taste, but the taste of these beauties is far less oppressive.
I usually need 4g of cubes to get a buzz, so intended to eat the full 4g. I'd not eaten since breakfast and thought "Why wait?"
Just before 6pm I ate 3/4 of the chocolate. In retrospect, I'm glad I didn't go for it all. I asked the shrooms to grant me insight into my early childhood, most of which I had no memory of. I felt nothing for the first 45 mins, but then started to come up. By half 7 they hit hard. Very hard.
For 3 hours solid I explored the deep recesses of my mind. I won't go into detail (this isn't supposed to be a trip report), but there were a lot of tears and a lot of pain. Cathartic doesn't do it justice. I had no nausea whatsoever and the shrooms gave me short periods of respite before inviting me back for more.
Nats are awesome. They hit hard, but there's a lightness and clarity to them. I've got about 500g of dried cubes in jars, but honestly think I'll end up throwing them away after trying nats.
I went to bed at about 11pm, slept well, but woke at 5 with a bit of a hangover and a very sore jaw. It's now 9, I've been for a walk and feel total peace.
There's still 'work' to do, but I'm hoping my next trip will be recreational - I deserve it.
tl/dr Nats blow all the cubes I've tried out of the water in every way. Taste, strength, and a clean hit. If you've not tried them already, go for it.

Last night was one of the first mild nights with only few clouds in the sky. The perfect setting for some Natalensis tea (2 gram). It was the first trip outside after a long winter (for South African standards).
I didn't feel the come-up at all. About half an hour after drinking the tea, I started to look out for the typical signs. For me usually the clouds start to look out of character first, so I focussed on a little cloud hanging in the colorful evening sky. It didn't take long and it started twisting, stretching and morphing in all kinds of ways. Simultaneously everything started to have a visible aura and took on sharper edges, as if my vision improved. Everything looked so crisp. That's when the euphoria hit me, because I knew this is going to be a beautiful night.
About an hour into the trip I decided to vape some cannabis, which kicked everything into gear. Suddenly I realized that I did no longer recognize the music coming from my headphones, even though I am quite familiar with it. So I checked on my laptop to convince myself that I still listen to what I listened to ten minutes ago (Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydroponic Garden). When I turned my attention back to the garden things have changed dramatically. The garden looked exactly how it looks like when I have an opened eye sub-breakthrough experience on DMT. It looked a bit like an oil painting while haveing the sensation to be under water at the same time. Time? Time didn't matter anymore. I sat in my swinging chair and sank into the pillows or lets rather say into the moment, while just looking at the scenery. It felt like I had occupied my place in the garden and became part of it, just like all the other plants and little animals. I felt accepted by and connected by nature. At some point I even felt more plant-like than human or at least how I imagine plants feel like. I hope that makes any sense.
That's when my phone rang. It was my wife telling me that my 2 year old son wants to see me. Usually he sleeps by that time and I very rarely interact with family members while on mushrooms. Especially while peaking. But I felt very good in the space I was in, so I fetched him, took him out into the garden and showed him the plants and the stars. I could sense the same kind of wonder in him, I felt in that moment. I often thought about how mushrooms allow us to see the world in a child-like way, without judgements, concepts and preconceptions clouding the view. It was like we both REALLY saw the stars and the plants. It was a beautiful moment. After a little while it was time for him to go back to bed and I got comfortable in my spot again to enjoy some fantastic CEVs.
Eventually things faded and it got a little cooler, so I migrated to the inside of the house. It was a smooth but deep experience.
I still feel the afterglow, sitting here in the morning sun, in my garden, with a free mind. This is how a classic Natalensis experience looks like for me .

Finally had my first proper Natalensis trip last week. 6 grams dried, made a tea. I needed this trip.
2 weeks ago, during the SAME week I had:
- My telephone wire ripped off my house by a tractor. Damaging the chimney it and also a bunch of slates of my 2 years old new roof.
- 2 days later my house got broken in and robbed. We got some cash stolen, my wife’s jewelry stolen, my wedding ring stolen.
Timeline, counted after drinking the tea:
- +20 mins: first effect felt. No nausea, no anxiety.
- +30 mins: first light CEVs. Lied down, put headphones and eye mask.
- +45 mins: proper CEVs. Trip started.
In the first phase a blanket of neon yellow and green cloud was put on me. It was soothing and reassuring. It calmed the feeling of anxiety and insecurity of having had intruders in my house.
The second phase was all about beauty. I saw weaving patterns and colors of indescribable beauty. I needed it, I needed to see beauty.
The third phase was about gratitude for my family. For having my wife and my sons with me. Experiencing being a family.
The fourth and last phase was scrambly. I stood up, realized I was high as fuck, the body load was quite incredible compared to other mushrooms. And then it dawned on me that my wedding ring was stolen, would never be recovered and I felt deeply sad about it. Realizing how much this object, this symbol of Love for my wife meant to me. I spent a good amount of time with tears in my eyes, wanting so bad to buy the exact same ring back.
The last thought that came to my mind was this quote from Seneca (I’ve read a lot of Stoicism this past year):
Quote:
“Remember that all we have is “on loan” from Fortune, which can reclaim it without our permission—indeed, without even advance notice. Thus, we should love all our dear ones, but always with the thought that we have no promise that we may keep them forever—nay, no promise even that we may keep them for long.”
The whole trip lasted maybe 3 and a half hours. Quite long compared to Semperviva.
I really enjoyed the vibe of this species. Natalensis is a kind, chilled and comforting mushroom.

Anyone have experience with this species,can it be grown indoors,substrate type etc.
Ok after reading more and asking about the print it appears we just confused this cube with natalensis what it actually is ( P.cubensis var. Natal super strain) so from the same area just a cube.
EDIT by Land Trout 10/22/2023 I’ve changed the thread title from “Psilocybe natalensis or cubensis var. natal” To The official Psilocybe natalensis thread as it is a better fit for how the thread has evolved. Trout

Mushrooms can create air currents that pull the spores upward, and they end up on caps

Just checking back in with a quick synopsis of todays maiden nat trip. I took an estimated dry equivalent of 2.5g as tea from fresh made with citric acid. The GF took about 2.5g equivalent in the end. She took 1.5g at first, and when I was seeing creatures manifesting in the trees about 30 minutes in, she was not feeling it so she took an extra 1g equivalent.
As for the nat experience overall. I’ll say that the body discomfort I feel with cubes was greatly diminished, it was still there. We both had nausea (hers was worse, but she also had a bigger breakfast) and I had my typical discomfort in my chest during the come up.
About an hour in, she broke open in deep loud sobbing. I gave her a little space, but as she was also feeling nauseated and sitting on the cold tile floor of the bathroom while sobbing, I helped her to the bed and laid with her.
She has a history of family abuse from her parents, and though she’s done a lot of work on this, her dad passed in early summer, and her mom about a month ago. She had a complicated relationship with them and a lot of unresolved issues.
The nats unlocked some deep sadness and rage. Stuff she didn’t even realize was in her still. She leaned into it and went with it, both sobbing and yelling. This was not the kinder gentler mushroom trip I was expecting with nats, and this sort of swamped my experience in the moment.
After it was over, she said that even though she let our all that rage and had a good cry, that the process was as gentle as she could imagine, and she was grateful for the experience. Her mood was light and playful after the peak had passed. She described the experience as incredibly positive, and she’ll be looking to more tripping together as we move forward.
All said, I’m not yet sure what I think about the nats. I didn’t get the euphoria I’ve read about, though she did. I didn’t get the mdma-like experience of being flooded with love and connectedness. I didn’t get the feeling of oneness with everything I got from cube trips.
Despite all this it was an incredibly healing day, the experience definitely brought us closer together, and I think my next trip will be dried nats and a higher dose.
The bulk of the experience had passed for me in only 2 hours. I think I need to eat them dried and take a higher dose to get more of the experiences I’m looking for and some longer duration.
A last bit of context, this is a relatively new relationship, the chemistry and compatibility have been off the chart, we’re middle aged and both doing a lot of healing and growth work. Sharing this experience only made me more optimistic about our long term viability as a couple.
