Nua Muang Magic Mushrooms
Nua Muang: Background
Nua Muang magic mushrooms were first discovered on one of Thailand’s many islands in the Andaman sea, Koh Samui. There it was found growing on top of livestock dung. Odd that it has been named Nua Muang, which is in practically the other side of the country, in the northeast. Nua Muang cubensis has characteristics and impacts that are similar to other regional cousins. It grows and fruits extensively, it grows in fairly large bunches and patches, and it typically appears as light brown in color. Its stems tend to be thicker than most. And its experiences are said to be more mind-centered than body-centered.
