Death Star 7g

Description

Death Star is one of the friendliest Psilocybe cubensis strains going: a gentle trip of about four hours that eases you in rather than dropping you in the deep end, set off by a cap that keeps its golden-yellow colour even after drying. Forgiving on both the effects and the taste, it is a tried-and-true pick for anyone taking a first run at magic mushrooms.

Forgiving on both the effects and the taste, it is a tried-and-true pick for anyone taking a first run at magic mushrooms.

Death Star is a Psilocybe cubensis known for two things: a mellow, forgiving trip that runs about four hours, and a cap that stays a proud golden yellow even after drying. It is one of the easier strains to recommend to someone new to mushrooms.

This strain averages about 0.7% total tryptamines against roughly 0.9% for a typical cubensis, so the ranges below are scaled to it. Pick how far you want to go:

These are relative starting ranges, not a measurement of your bag. Potency swings two to four times between batches of the same strain. Start at the low end, wait at least 90 minutes before judging, and do not redose the same night.

Numbers: strain averages from Oakland Hyphae Psilocybin Cup lab results where available; gram ranges adapted from Psychedelic Support’s dosing guide. Taking medication or new to all of this? Talk to a health professional first. Not medical advice.

The first thing people notice is the colour. Death Star carries a vivid yellow-gold hue that sets it apart from the browner, earthier cubensis strains, and it holds that shade even when dried. Mature caps also develop a small ring, or “skirt”, around the stem.
