About
Moby Dick is a leucistic (albino) cultivar of Psilocybe cubensis, named for its pale, whale-white fruiting bodies. It is prized mainly for its striking appearance: dense, near-white mushrooms with thick stems and pronounced blue bruising where handled.
History
Moby Dick is generally traced to albino A+ and Ghost lineage within the world of cubensis cultivars, selected over successive generations for a consistent white expression. As with other cubensis cultivars, any reported difference in effect is anecdotal rather than measured.
Overview
Expect large, pale to pure-white fruits with strong blue oxidation. Like all Psilocybe cubensis, its active compounds are psilocybin and psilocin, and potency varies widely with growing conditions, flush, and preparation rather than being fixed per cultivar. Start low and go slow.
