Jedi Mind Tricks mushroom strain (JEDI)

Species
Psilocybe cubensis
Also called
Jedi Mind Trick, JMF
Family
Golden Teacher line

Origin

Unconfirmed and disputed. Accounts attribute it to Myco Joe/Agar Joe, variously describing a wild Georgia origin in the early 2000s, an isolation in Florida around 2009, or a Z-Strain × Golden Teacher cross around 2014. The sources do not establish which account is correct.

Lineage

A Z-Strain × Golden Teacher cross is claimed by one account; a relationship to Z-Strain is also suggested elsewhere. Neither is confirmed.

Appearance

Reportedly has large golden-brown to caramel caps, often with a pronounced central umbo, and thick pale stems. One source gives cap diameters of about 40–60 mm; gills mature from pale to purple-brown, and the spore print is dark purple-brown to nearly black.

Good to know

The Scottsdale Research Institute selected JMF for a planned FDA-cleared U.S. clinical trial studying whole psilocybin mushrooms; the sources report this as a notable first for a named cubensis strain.
