Panaeolus Cyanescens Grasstree, Australia Spore Print

Genus: Panaeolus

Species: P. cyanescens isolation (aka Pan cyan, Copelandia, Blue Meanie)

Strain Origin: Australia

Climate: Tropical and subtropical

Habitat: Thrives in nutrient-rich soil, commonly found in pastures, grasslands, and areas fertilized by livestock manure.

Temp: 77°–83°F (25–28°C)

Relative Humidity: 86%–92%

Cap: Small to medium sized (1.5–4 cm diameter), rounded or bell-shaped. Caps usually start out a deep chestnut brown and fade to a pale cream or grayish color as they mature (hygrophanous).

Stem: Slender, delicate, and typically between 7–12 cm long. Pale cream or white in color, and bruises blue easily when handled. 

Gills: Dark, mottled greyish-black, sometimes appearing speckled due to uneven spore distribution. Gills are tightly packed and attached directly to the stem.

Spores: Jet black, smooth, and elliptical in shape. Spores mature quickly, often leaving dense prints. Basidia typically produce four spores each (tetrasporic). Occasionally, natural mutations result in red spores — a trait that, once established, can become stable within a few generations.

Growth Characteristics: Fast growing with delicate, tomentose mycelium that is typically soft white and semi-translucent on grains. Colonizes quickly and usually begins pinning within 7–8 days.

Notes: Thrives in environments with stable temperatures, balanced humidity, and consistent  airflow.

Potency: Psilocybin content typically ranges between 2%–4%.
