South African Transkei (TRAN)

The South African Transkei mushroom strain originated in South Africa within the former Transkei province of South Africa

The South African Transkei shroom strain is an interesting one, as it’s the first psychedelic mushroom strain ever discovered and documented, in modern history native to South Africa. Other species exist on the continent, but the South African Transkei is one of only a few cubensis strains that grow here naturally.

Magic mushrooms grow worldwide, but they prefer moist climates, at least for part of the year. South Africa’s hot, arid deserts are typically unsuitable for psilocybin mushrooms. This is one of the reasons why there are so few Psilocybe cubensis strains originating from this part of the world.

Most users report a more intense trip with South African Transkei shrooms than most other strains, including open-eye visuals, fractals, and a sense of connection to the world. 

There is only one known variation of the South African Transkei strain: the Trans Envy strain.

The Trans Envy Strain is a cross between Penis Envy and the South African Transkei strain. It was reportedly created accidentally when a cultivator mixed the two in a single fruiting chamber. After noticing some mushrooms growing that didn’t look like either strain they were cultivating, the spores were collected and isolated into what is today referred to as Trans Envy. 

The resulting strain is a standalone variety with a super-high potency and large size from the South African Transkei strain.
