Makilla Gorilla Mushrooms

Makilla Gorilla[i] is a relatively new cultivated strain of Psilocybe cubensis. It was developed by crossbreeding Albino Penis Envy (APE) and Melmac, both of which were themselves derived from Penis Envy, a strain notable for its potency and for looking like a penis, thanks to its very narrow cap. But Makilla Gorilla didn’t inherit the phallic look, the the cap is somewhat narrow, nor did it inherit albinism. It’s reported to be very potent.

The Makilla Gorilla strain produces large mushrooms with a thick, meaty stem and a moderately-sized cap. The stem is white or, often, bruised blue. The cap is a pale caramel color. Reportedly, the flesh of this mushroom is unusually dense, meaning it’s a bad idea to eyeball doses. To know how much you’re getting, you need to use a scale.

Makilla Gorilla is reputed to be very visual, although it’s likely it earned that reputation because, given its potency and density, people often take higher doses than they really meant to. With rare exception, cubes tend to have the same effects regardless of strain—they alter the mood (usually for the better!), foster different and often insightful thought-patterns, and cause hallucinations (especially at higher doses). There is usually some degree of “body high,” plus some other possible effects that are less pleasant and usually called side-effects. Most of the variation between one psilocybin experience and another has to do with dose size and the user’s mindset, setting, and personal biochemistry.
