Burmese Albino Mushrooms uk

Burmese Albino Mushrooms uk, is an albino variant of Southeast Asia’s classic, high-potency Burma strain. Although not a true albino (it still produces some pigment), this strain produces ghostly white caps.

The original Burma sample was collected from just outside of Yangon, Myanmar — formerly known as Burma (hence the name). It was developed into the Burma strain before someone later developed this leucistic version.

Unlike many other albino shrooms, this Southeast Asian strain is surprisingly easy to cultivate. It’s contamination resistant, not prone to aborts, and can thrive in an unoptimized environment. This makes it the perfect choice for the beginner looking at growing a leucistic (white) strain.

There’s not much information about this rare strain, but we dug up what we could, including its origins, potency, relatives, where to find spore samples, and how it’s best cultivated.

History of the Albino Burma Strain

The Burma strain originates from Myanmar (formerly Burma), a country in Southeast Asia between Thailand and India. A Thai student was supposedly the first to discover and collect this strain near a village called Yangon. However, it’s widely accepted that John Allen, the famous mycologist, brought the first sample back to the West.

Apparently, the student who discovered the strain gifted a sample to John Allen, who brought it back to the West, cultivated it, and distributed the spores among the mushroom community.

John Allen grew only one flush from the original Burma spore sample and propagated them, which he distributed across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Allen has stated that the spores sold online today likely originated directly from the sample the Thai student gifted him — pretty amazing.

Albino Burma Strain Potency & Psilocybin Content

Albino Burma is considered “above average” in terms of potency. The effects are incredibly intense, with a strong body high and vivid, closed- and open-eye visuals. If grown correctly, Albino Burma can produce a total tryptamine content in the range of 1.4% (double what we’d consider average for this species).

Only two samples of Albino Burma have been entered into the Psilocybin Cup so far (both entered by Blackstar Mycology).

The analysis found the average between the two samples was 0.85% of total tryptamines. The strongest sample contained 1.41%.
