Copelandia Hawaiian hallucinogenic mushrooms - Panaeolus Cyanescens

Copelandia Hawaiian

Panaeolus cyanescens, commonly known as Copelandia Hawaiian or"Blue Meanies", is a species of psilocybin mushroom that belongs to a completely different family than Psilocybe cubensis (such as the Golden Teacher, Mexicana, or B+ varieties) and is recognized for its remarkable potency of up to 4 times higher. This mushroom stands out for its ability to induce intense psychedelic experiences due to its high psilocybin and psilocin content.

This species is distinguished by its unique characteristics and the noticeable bluish marks that appear when handled or damaged, a telltale sign of the presence of psilocybin, as this substance takes on a blue hue when it comes into contact with oxygen.

Origin of Panaeolus cyanescens

Panaeolus cyanescens (Copelandia Hawaiian) belongs to the genus Panaeolus, which includes numerous species of saprotrophic black spore fungi. The name'Panaeolus' comes from the Greek and means"all variegated", referring to the mottled appearance of the lamellae of these fungi. The genus Panaeolus comprises between 160 and 170 species, of which approximately 15 contain enough psilocybin to be considered psychoactive.

This species is coprophilous, meaning that it grows on dung, similar to Psilocybe Cubensis, and is found in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world, including countries in Asia, Africa, Australia, Central and South America, as well as in some areas of North America and Europe.

Morphological Characteristics of Copelandia Hawaiian

The cap of Panaeolus cyanescens measures between 1.5 and 4 cm in diameter, starting hemispherical and expanding to convex at maturity. Its color varies from light brown to grayish white, often developing cracks in dry climates and showing bluish or greenish discoloration when damaged.

The lamellae are adnate, initially gray and turning black as the spores mature, presenting a characteristic mottled appearance. The stem, 7 to 12 cm long and 2 to 3 mm thick, is similar in color to the cap and stains blue when handled. Its spores are black, smooth and elliptical, with a size of 12-15 x 7-11 ÎĽm.

Cultivation of Copelandia Hawaiian

Panaeolus cyanescens thrives in warm, humid climates, growing naturally in soils rich in organic matter, especially cattle manure.

The cultivation process begins with the preparation of a suitable substrate. Unlike other species, Panaeolus cyanescens requires a highly nutritious substrate, with a mixture of pasteurized manure with coconut fiber and vermiculite being an ideal choice.

Once the substrate is ready, it is inoculated with spores or liquid mycelium of the fungus. This step must be carried out under sterile conditions to avoid contamination. Under optimal conditions, the spores germinate and the mycelium colonizes the substrate in a period of 10 to 21 days, with an optimal temperature of 24-27°C.

When the substrate is fully colonized, fruiting is induced. For this, the temperature is slightly reduced to 20-24°C and the humidity is increased to 95%, providing adequate ventilation and indirect light. Under these conditions, the primordia begin to form and, in 10 to 15 days, develop into mature mushrooms.

Harvesting takes place when the mushrooms reach their optimum size and have a characteristic bluish color on contact. With proper maintenance, the substrate can produce several harvests before being exhausted.

Effects of Panaeolus cyanescens

Panaeolus cyanescens is the most potent species of hallucinogenic mushrooms on the market generating a remarkably intense and superior trip to Psilocybe cubensis, for that reason the dosage of Copelandia is usually about 3 or 4 times lower.

The ideal is to start with small doses and gradually increase them as you gain confidence with the substance, thus avoiding possible bad trips.

Its effects, broadly speaking, are as follows:

  • Visual Effects: Geometric patterns, intensification of colors, movements and distortions in the visual field.
  • Cognitive Effects: Alterations in the perception of time (it may seem to slow down or stop completely), deep or philosophical thoughts, and greater introspection.
  • Emotional Effects: Feelings of euphoria, connection with the environment and, in some cases, anxiety or paranoia. Possible spiritual experiences.
  • Physical Effects: Unusual bodily sensations such as tingling, mild nausea or dizziness, and pupil dilation. Increased tactile sensitivity.
