Different Mushroom Varieties
Here we will go over some of the most common mushroom varieties and how they differ from one another, we will primarily cover medicinal, functional, and culinary varieties. This first section is a list of varieties that are offered by Wonderbags in fully colonized bags (The Original Wonderbag). Each variety will be scored on the following categories:
Yield - How much fruit the variety produces. (1 being the lowest, and 5 being the highest)
Pinset - How fast the variety produces initial pins. (1 being the slowest, and 5 being the fastest)
Maturation: How quickly mushrooms mature from initial pin set. (1 being the slowest, and 5 being the fastest)
Potency: How potent the mushrooms are based on 3rd party analytical testing. (1 being the lowest, and 5 being the highest)
Optimal harvest window: How long a grower has to harvest the mushrooms once the veil has broken. (1 being closer to 12 hours and 5 being 48+ hours)
Golden Teachers: One of the most popular varieties and arguably the most famous. Presents as an umbunate, golden brown capped mushrooms with the typical morphology of P. Cubenses mushrooms. This variety does drop spores. Know for providing introspective and insight therapuetic benefits. Best variety, in our opinion, for micro-dosing because it tends to be so mild. This makes it easier to stay in the sub-perceptual range with a typical microdose.
Yield: 3
Pinset: 5
Maturation: 5
Potency: 2
Optimal harvest window: 1
Penis Envy: Also one of the most popular and well known varieties of P. Cubenses. Presents as a conical shaped thick stemmed mushroom that resembles male genetalia (hence the name). This variety does not drop spores. Known for being more potent, and social in its effects. One of the best varieties for macro and ceremonial dosing especially those conducted in a group environment.
Yield: 2
Pinset: 2
Maturation: 3
Potency: 4
Optimal harvest window: 5
P. Nataalensis: This is a rare and sought after variety for several qualities. It presents as a stringy, long stemmed, leucistic, umbonate capped mushroom resembling, late into it’s life cycle the caps tend to get a blue hue to them in their center. This variety drops lots of purple spores. Known for being more potent and also for being one of the only mushrooms that produces Aeruginascin, a unique therapeutic compound, specific to just a few varieties of mushrooms. This variety tends to produce less chiton, making it a little bit easier on the digestive system and is often reported for very gratifying and positive experiences.
Yield: 2
Pinset: 2
Maturation: 3

APER (Albino Penis Envy Revert): A revert is a mushroom variety typically one that comes from a variety that is known for uncharacteristic morphology but that has “reverted” back to the traditional mushroom shape, keeping the other attributes like potency, profile and growth characteristics of its parent. So this mushroom presents as a leucistic, umbonate capped mushroom that tends to bruise blue all over as it matures and during harvest. This variety does drop spores although tends to do so a little bit later in its growth cycle.then other sporulous mushroom varieties. Known to keep the high potency characteristics of Albino Penis Envy, along with the couch-lock effects this variety is best used for deep solitary purposes of introspection and healing.

Albedo: A personal favorite this mushroom presents as short, umbonate capped, Albino mushrooms that completely fill the canopy space often pushing up against each-other in a bid for space. This variety does not produce spores. It has a nice medium level potency that lends itself to social environments. Potency and yield both tend to be enhanced with late harvest strategies.
Yield: 4

1. Chaga Mushroom May Help Fight Free Radicals, Cancer and Aging
The Chaga mushroom (Inonotus Obliquus), also called “Mushroom of Immortality” is the most nutritious wild mushroom that has been used in folk medicine to treat several disorders. Chaga is an exceptionally powerful antioxidant that delivers you an impressive dose of antioxidants, SOD enzymes, essential amino acids, minerals and other vital substances. Learn more.
Animal and test-tube studies have found that Chaga mushrooms may possess several health benefits. For instance, the mixture of these extraordinary substances may:
Boost your immune system
Remove free radicals from your body and combat oxidative stress (oxidative stress is associated to aging)
Protect cells
Enhance resistance
Fight pathogens
Lessen inflammation
Lower bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol)
Prevent long-term inflammation
Fight, prevent or slow the growth of cancer
Lower blood sugar
Have antitumor properties
Prolong cellular proliferation and extend lifespan, or in other words, Chaga may fight aging
Still, we need more human studies to confirm all these statements.
2. Cordyceps To Stimulate Your Energy and Libido
Cordyceps (Ophiocordyceps Sinensis (formerly known as Cordyceps Sinensis)), also known as caterpillar fungus, is a powerful medicinal mushroom that has been acknowledged in Chinese medical books and Tibetan medicine for a long time. This plant is a rare combination of caterpillar and fungus.
Some studies suggest, that different strains of Cordyceps, or some components inside this mushroom may have different beneficial effects on the human body, which include:
Boosting immune system
Anti-tumor effect
Boosting energy
Stimulating libido
Anti-metastatic property
Antioxidant effect
Anti-inflammatory
Antimicrobial
Hypolipidemic
Hypoglycemic
Anti-aging
Neuroprotective
Anti-stress
Renoprotective effect
Helps your body utilize oxygen more efficiently, stimulate blood flow, improve exercise and athletic performance, and speed up post-workout muscle recovery, which can be especially helpful for athletes or people who regularly work out (7, 8, 9).
Traditional healers and local people of Sikkim suggest Cordyceps sinensis for multiple health problems as a single drug or together with other herbs. For instance, these folk healers use it to cure as many as 21 different health conditions.
Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have used it for centuries to treat fatigue, kidney disease, low sex drive and many other illnesses. The long history and the potential benefits of Cordyceps might be the reasons why dietary supplements and other products containing Cordyceps are achieving so much admiration. Learn more.
3. Red Reishi Calms Your Mind, Boosts Energy and Encourages Good Night Sleep
Red Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma Lucidum), also known as Lingzi, “10,000 Years Sponge”, “Queen of Plants”, “Immortal Sponge”, and “Life Elixir” has been known in China, Japan, and other Asian countries for its miraculous health-enhancing, stress relieving, and longevity promoting effects for thousands of years. It’s like nature’s Xanax.
In nature there are 6 types of Reishi, but Red Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum), is the most studied one and possesses the strongest medicinal effects. Due to its variety of potential health benefits and rich composition people use Reishi mushroom to:
Boost the immune system
Fight cancer cells
Enhance many body functions
The mood-boosting compounds in Reishi (triterpenes) have calming properties, so this mushroom may also lessen anxiety, relieve depression, calm the mind and reduce stress
Triptanes in Reishi may also promote wound healing
Sharpen focus
Relieve cough and asthma
Reduce insomnia and stimulate better sleep
Lessen fatigue
Improve the work of vital organs
Strengthen and heal overall health
Fight obesity
In addition, to increase the so-called shen. In Chinese medicine shen is the connection of heart and mind – the channel of spirituality (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
Traditional medicine practitioners believe Red Reishi can sustain life, increase life expectancy, promote health and balance body functions without any side effects.
Although Reishi mushrooms themselves can be consumed raw, it is also custom to use supplements, extracts or powdered forms of the mushroom that contain these particular healing molecules.
The fruiting bodies of the Reishi mushroom are a magnificent source of nutritionally important minerals, vitamins (mainly B-complex vitamins and vitamin D), antioxidants, amino acids, macronutrients, as well as protein (despite not being animal-based).
Despite the high mineral and vitamin content – the wide spectrum of prophylactic and therapeutic effects of Reishi mushroom is mainly due to the high content of polysaccharides, triterpenoids and germanium. It’s because Reishi contains an enormous collection of bioactive polysaccharides, beta-glucans and more than 120 different triterpenoid compounds.
Some people use it also for Alzheimer disease, cancer, diabetes, and cold sores. In Japan, Reishi dry extract belongs in the official list of antitumor drugs. Although research is still ongoing and most evidence is based on animal studies, there is reason to believe that the beneficial effect of Reishi on humans is similar.
