These first generation prints come from a wild collection of Panaeolus bisporus found in Marco Island, FL, by the legendary Alan Rockefeller. The wild fruit in the homepage image is actually the original find. Panaeolus bisporus gets its name from its unique two-spored basidia (bisporic), distinguishing it from other Panaeolus species which typically have four. This variety is aggressive, fast-growing, and very easy to work with. The mycelium bruises blue naturally, and the fruits grow to about the same height as cyanescens but are a thicker and have a more rugged look with their large, protruding gills.

Genus: Panaeolus
Species: P. bisporus (aka Pan bisp)
Strain Origin: Marco Island, Florida
Climate: Tropical and subtropical
Habitat: Thrives in nutrient-rich soil, commonly found in pastures, grasslands, and areas fertilized by livestock manure.
Temp: 72°–78°F (22–25°C), but can tolerate overnight lows into the 50s (12–15°C)
Relative Humidity: 90%–95%
Cap: Small to medium-sized (1–3 cm diameter), initially rounded and maturing to broadly bell shaped. Color starts off chocolate brown to grayish brown, fading to pale tan or gray (hygrophanous).
Stem: Slightly thicker than cyanescens but still slender and firm, typically between 5–10 cm long, and pale cream to off-white in color. Often bruises blue, especially near the base or where handled.
Gills: Dark, mottled charcoal gray to black, closely spaced, and directly attached to the stem. Gills darken noticeably as spores mature.
Spores: Jet black, elliptical, and smooth. Basidia produce two spores each (bisporic), a key distinguishing feature from other Panaeolus species which typically have four-spored basidia.
Growth Characteristics: Fast growing with delicate, tomentose mycelium that is typically soft white and semi-translucent on grains. Colonizes and fruits quickly.
Notes: Prefers a slightly cooler environment than cyanescens, balanced humidity, and consistent airflow.
Potency: Limited data, but likely similar to cyanescens, which typically ranges between 2%–4%.
