Magic Mushroom Liquid Culture Hawaiian [Panaeolus cyanescens]

With a mushroom culture or liquid culture you can grow your own mushrooms your way! With the handy included syringe you dose a little into a petri dish with agar agar to grow the mycelium. You can also squirt the liquid culture directly into a jar of sterilized grains or brown rice. Or press the syringe empty into a large jar of agar-agar solution to make a larger amount of mushroom culture. Once you have liquid culture, the idea is that you can grow magic mushrooms indefinitely because you can multiply it yourself! The possibilities with growing your own are endless.

Important: whatever you do, do not ingest the liquid. By any means. A syringe of liquid culture is for cultivation or microscopy.

About the Mushroom Species Panaeolus cyanescens (Copelandia)

Copelandia, Hawaiian, cyanescens, blue meanies... What is it? All those names describe the same kind of mushrooms. But note that some of those terms can also refer to other mushrooms.

• Hawaiian - may also be a strain of the species Psilocybe cubensis .
• Cyanescens - can also describe the species Psilocybe cyanescens. This is Panaeolus cyanescens.

The pale Copelandia mushrooms (Panaeolus cyanescens) are known for their small stature and incredibly powerful effects. They contain 4-5x more psilocybin than cubensis species. These mushrooms are really quite different. So they are more potent, but need more attention during cultivation. But, especially if you have "graduated" with psilocybe cubensis grow kits like our mazatapec or mckennaii varieties, I'm sure you can easily grow these potent mushrooms! The main difference is that the these mushrooms like sterile soil as a cover for the substrate. They also like more water until the moment the mushrooms surface. Then suddenly they can't tolerate water if you spray it directly on them. So be careful with that. Total cultivation is short: within 5-20 days the heads are already visible if grown under the right conditions. And just a few days after that, they are ready for harvest.

Mushroom Liquid Culture Use

Shopping List

• Glass jar (preferably cylindrical with no constriction at the lid. Then you pour out the mushroom spawn more easily).
• Sterile culture medium/substrate (e.g., rye, brown rice, corn for popcorn or even bird seed)
• Parafilm tape (optional)
• Micropore tape (optional)

Before you begin, take the jar and fill it completely with the nutrient medium (substrate). Make sure there is a little space up to the lid. Screw the lid on and put it in a pressure cooker for an hour. Then let the jar cool to room temperature. Do not open the lid. Make a small hole in the lid with a hot needle. This will allow the mold to breathe. Tape it with a piece of micropore tape. This allows air in, but other fungi and bacteria have less chance.

Here are five simple steps to get started with your liquid culture syringe.

Step 1

Wash your hands thoroughly and wipe the outside of the liquid culture syringe with a clean, damp cloth. We recommend using a sterile alcohol wipe to eliminate any bacteria.

Step 2

The syringe is safely packaged in a sterile container. Keep the syringe free of contamination and open the package in a clean environment.

Step 3

Loosen the cap of the ampule a little (not completely). This way you can fill the syringe without getting problems with the vacuum.

Step 4

Insert the needle through the rubber seal and fill the syringe. Take the sterilized jar with, for example, sterile rye, brown rice, corn for popcorn or even birdseed.

Step 5

The filled syringe is now ready for use and the culture can be used to inoculate the chosen substrate. Unscrew the lid and slide it to the side just enough that the needle fits between. Better not to take the lid off completely. Inject about one milliliter (1 dash) into the jar. Tighten the lid and tape the lid shut.

Tips:

• Spray along the inside of the jar, it will be easier to see how the mold is growing.
• 1 ml is already enough for a jar, but the more you put in, the faster it grows.

Allow the culture to grow in the substrate at room temperature. Within a few days, the mycelium will form as snow-white microscopic threads. Then shake the jar every day to speed up the process until the entire jar is filled with white fluff.

Next: Growing Mushrooms

Once you have a pot of substrate that is colored all white, you can carefully remove (don't touch) the substrate from the pot. You can do several things with the substrate. For example, graft a new pot with sterile, uncolonized substrate or empty the contents into a clean plastic container filled with perlite. Provide fresh air by making a few holes in the container or opening the lid occasionally. Also make sure there is always condensation on the inside of the container by spraying the walls of the container with a plant sprayer on the mist setting every day.

• Ampoule containing mushroom culture dissolved in agar (5 ml)

Are Spore Prints and Liquid Culture Legal?

The legality of spore prints and liquid culture depends on where you live, but also what you do with them. In countries where mushroom grow kits and magic truffles are not legal, it is often permissible to obtain these two unique products. Provided they are meant to be studied under a microscope. But are they meant for cultivation? Then they often fall under the category of prohibited substances.

Dosage and Usage

These mushrooms are stronger per gram than Psilocybe cubensis. According to our calculator, the dosage dried copelandia mushrooms is between 0.4 grams (light dose) and 2.75 grams (heroic dose). Freshlyharvested you need about 15 times as much for the same effect. How to proceed for drying you can read in our blogs.

Microdosing with blue meanies is not recommended. Due to their strength and small size, they are difficult to dose very finely. Rather take magic truffles, Thai or Mexican mushrooms for that.

Always use magic mushrooms and magic truffles in a safe setting - preferably at home on the couch with someone who knows how to handle you when you are not feeling well. Let the trip come over you. Put on soothing music and enjoy what these special natural products show you.

Do not combine with alcohol, medications, or other (smart) drugs.

In the refrigerator, liquid culture keeps for several months. Outside the refrigerator, it has a very limited shelf life.

Please note that this product cannot be exchanged as the shelf life is limited and the product must be kept refrigerated.
