Psilocybe cyanescens
I found this little fella (as well as a number of his friends) outside. It's cold and wet, so I brought them in where they can get warm and dry out. Remember folks, if you're cold they're cold.

Whatever you do, just don't dry it out and eat it.
Wish I knew where to get spores...
The internet. It's legal to buy them. Literally mushrooms.com
Doesn't matter. You can't just grow them. You need the right substrate and luck beyond luck.
I tried twice and had no problem getting the mycelium to fully incorporate the substrate but I never got any mushrooms to fruit.
Cubes or cyans?
It was so long ago I honestly couldn't say
M8 you just need a good ol bag of uncle Ben's rice.
Cyans are a bit more particular than that unfortunately.
Not for cyans. UBC is for cubes and oysters, M8.
True.
You don't just eat them immediately and say fuck it we ball?
I've heard this is quite a different experience than cubes. Do you have a preference for one or the other?
If cubes are Labyrinth cyans are The Dark Crystal.
If you had to match each to a Nicholas Cage movie?
Was he in anything with muppets?
Cyans are the best. Period. I grow cubes. I wish I could grow cyans.
Panaeolus cyanescens can be grown at home - at least there are finished sets, I couldn't get to fruit mine with cow dung, as planned... But the original substrate worked well
There's a guy on shroomery that seemed to have it down to a science a few years ago. It was a little more involved than cubes but not by much. I haven't been active there in a while, I wonder if the process has been simplified since then.
I will have a look. If you happen to find it and remember, do please let me know.
Just remembered that guy grew Panaeolus cyanescens. Not sure if Psilocybe cyanescens can be cultivated.
Thank you!
