Strains of Magic Mushroom Extracts Used in PolkaDot Bars
May
In our quest to develop a truly unique mushroom product, we have identified nine magic mushroom strain extracts (psilocybin-containing mushrooms) grown in-house and used in our PolkaDot mushroom edibles, including the polka dot magic mushroom chocolate bars, gummies, and truffles.
What are magic mushrooms?
According to Wikipedia, psilocybin mushrooms, or psilocybin-containing mushrooms, commonly known as magic mushrooms or shrooms, are a type of hallucinogenic mushroom and a polyphyletic informal group of fungi that contain the prodrug psilocybin, which turns into the psychedelic psilocin upon ingestion.
The most potent species are members of the genus Psilocybe, such as P. azurescens, P. semilanceata, and P. cyanescens, but psilocybin has also been isolated from approximately a dozen other genera, including Panaeolus (including Copelandia), Inocybe, Pluteus, Gymnopilus, and Pholiotina.
The list of magic mushroom strains used in Polka Dot shroom bars
We used over nine magic mushroom strains (extracts) across different flavor profiles, giving each flavor a unique taste and experience. These strains include Albino Penis Envy, Penis Envy, Maverick, True Albino Teacher, Yeti, Bluey Vuitton, Yeti Orange Cap, Enigma, and Steel Magnolia.
- Albino Penis Envy: The Albino Penis Envy (APE) magic mushroom is a rare and highly sought-after variant of Psilocybe cubensis, renowned for its exceptional potency and unique appearance. This leucistic mutation of the original Penis Envy strain is characterized by its striking white coloration and thick, robust stems, setting it apart from other varieties.
- Penis Envy: The Penis Envy magic mushroom is a renowned strain of Psilocybe cubensis celebrated for its exceptional potency and distinctive appearance. It is characterized by thick, dense stems and bulbous caps. This rare variety is reputed to contain higher concentrations of psilocybin and psilocin, delivering profoundly intense and immersive psychedelic experiences.
- Maverick: The Maverick magic mushroom species is your key to bold exploration, designed for those who seek clarity, creativity, and a heightened sense of awareness, and crafted for both seasoned adventurers and curious newcomers.
- True Albino Teacher: The True Albino Teacher mushroom strain is a type of psilocybin magic mushroom that has garnered attention among mycology researchers and enthusiasts due to its distinct characteristics and potency. Believed to be a unique albino variant of the popular Teacher strain, it is renowned for its psilocybin content and striking appearance.
- Yeti: The Yeti mushroom strain is a type of psilocybin magic mushroom that has gained popularity among mycology researchers and enthusiasts due to its unique characteristics and potency. It is believed to be a hybrid of the Snowy and Biggy strains, known for their psilocybin content.
- Bluey Vuitton: The Bluey Vuitton strain is a rare and highly sought-after variety of Psilocybe cubensis, a species of psychedelic mushroom known for its potent psychoactive properties. This strain is a hybrid of the Panama and Most Valuable Producer (MVP) strains, making it a unique and exclusive offering in the world of psilocybin research and cultivation.
- Yeti Orange Cap: Our mycologist bred the Yeti Orange Cap magic mushroom, a cross between Yeti and Steel Magnolia.
- Enigma: The Enigma Psilocybe Cubensis is a rare mutation stemming from two powerhouse cubensis strains, Penis Envy and Tidal Wave. Due to its unusual shape of dense mycelium kernels, the Enigma mushroom does not produce spores. Instead, it remains within a single generation through clones
- Steel Magnolia: The Steel Magnolia mushroom strain is a rare and powerful variety of Psilocybe, known for its high potency and unique characteristics. Steel Magnolias are generally presumed to be of the same or even higher potency than the popular Penis Envy variants.

For every PolkaDot mushroom product, we measured a precise mushroom dose for easy dosing, as provided below.
- Polka Dot Bars: Measure 5 grams of shrooms per bar (333 mg per piece for 15 square pieces).
- PolkaDot Gummies: Measure a total of 4 grams of shrooms per gummy (400 mg per piece for 10 pieces).
- PolkaDot Truffles: Contain 2 grams of shrooms per mushroom chocolate truffle (500 mg per piece for 4 pieces).

Haha, this is quite the comprehensive guide to the high-end side of the psilocybin scene! Who knew there were so many strains with such… *evocative* names? Albino Penis Envy gives me pause every time. And measuring 5 grams per PolkaDot Bar? Sounds like a snack, not a spiritual journey! Still, it’s good to know they’re all the real deal and not just fancy-sounding Amanita muscaria. Just remember, folks, start low unless youre aiming to meet the Yeti head-on, of course! 😉
Great product!! Amazing company. love what you are doing!! It’s a phenomenal thing. My mom is older and the polkadot bars help her so much with memory!! I’ve had 7 concussions!/almost died from 2 severe ones, and my last MRI with THE TRAUMA SURGEON SAID I HAVE ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE BRAINS THAT HE HAS EVER SEEN!! I love mushrooms and the benefits and they are brain food. All because of a TED Talk video on YouTube about psilocybin and its benefits. Microdosing or having a little fun, but mushrooms were put on Earth for a reason!!
Thanks! I’m glad you made it through those rough times. It’s so wonderful to experience the benefits of shrooms, and I’m glad you did in your own unique way, John.
Steve, Are your products labeled with which mushroom type is inside? Or do you blend the different shrooms?
Which one is best for a brain injury? PTSD?
Thanks! Kristin
Hi Kristin, Our products are blended with various psilocybe mushrooms like the Yeti, Enigma, PE, and more. Different flavors may feature a mix of different strains but at 5 grams per chocolate bar or 4 grams per mushroom gummy. Generally speaking, shrooms are great for brain injury or PTSD. But it is always recommended to seek a doctor’s advice before starting any wellness journey.
