Redboy

Common Names: Redboy

About

Redboy is a classic and visually distinctive variant of Psilocybe cubensis, famous for producing deep reddish spore prints, a trait that sets it apart from nearly all other cubensis strains. In addition to its visual novelty, Redboy is known for its stable potency, vigorous growth, and well-rounded psychedelic effects, offering a blend of uplifting visuals, emotional warmth, and a strong connection to the natural world.

History

Originally recovered from a print in the early 1990s, the Redboy strain was revived and stabilized by mycologists who were fascinated by its rare red-sporing phenotype. Unlike the typical purple-brown spores of most cubensis varieties, Redboy’s rust-colored spore deposits gave it cult status among collectors and growers. It later gained popularity for its ease of cultivation and reliable effects, leading to crosses and hybrids like the Redboy GT lineage.

Favored for its historical uniqueness and friendly, centered experience.
