In the genus of Psilocybe<\/em> fungi, we can count the species Cubensis<\/em>, well known and popular for its easy cultivation. Nevertheless, there are other species that can be grown at home, which can be different but also more powerful and just as pretty, such as Psilocybe Azurescens<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n

How to recognize Psilocybe Azurescens from other species? <\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The hat of a Psilocybe Azurescens<\/em> overhangs a thin stem. The latter, which tends to flatten over time, has a gelatinous texture that can be surprising. He usually dresses in an orange tone going towards browns. The edges of his hat unfold gradually and gradually pull towards white.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Its stem is more or less thin and ranges from a light gray to creamy white. Like all mushrooms containing psilocin, the mushroom may begin to turn blue or black when damaged. These spores are dark, turning brown and black.  <\/p>\n\n\n

How does Psilocybe Azurescens work and what does it contain?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Psilocybe Azurescens<\/em> is a magic mushroom: it is considered a psychedelic. Like all psychedelics, it interacts with our brains in different ways. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Psilocybin and psilocin, contained in Psilocybe Azurescens<\/em>, are the two main active substances in the fungus. Once ingested and metabolized, they will act on 5-HT2A receptors, as LSD can do. Thus, several effects can be felt by the consumer. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Containing the same substances, Psilocybe Azurescens<\/em> produces the same effects as other mushrooms: hallucinations (auditory, visual…) with color saturation, sedation effect, increased flow of thought, nausea and hot or cold sensations. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Where is it? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This fungus is what is called a “woodlover”: like the P.Cyanescens<\/em>, he loves wood for its cultivation. Instead, it will be found on wood debris and in forests or near the coasts of some parts of the world.  <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Psilocybe Azurescens<\/em> has already been cultivated in different parts of the world, but it is often found in New Zealand and some states of the United States, especially in the state of Oregon (that’s good, mushrooms are legal there!) and Washington. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n

When and how to find Psilocybe Azurescens in its natural environment? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mushrooms can start growing at the end of the year, starting in September. They can continue to be found until December and January. Picking Psilocybe Azurescens<\/em> , however, remains illegal in the majority of countries and states around the world.Psilocybe Azurescens<\/em> is especially sought when the temperature drops to around 4\u00b0C after a shower.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Why choose the Psilocybe Azurescens culture? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The reasons depend on why you like mushrooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are tired of growing Cubensis <\/em>and want to learn new cultivation methods, Psilocybe Azurescens<\/em> may be a good choice. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But the main reason people want to try growing these mushrooms is that they are stronger than Cubensis<\/em>. Indeed, Psilocybe Azurescens contains<\/em> , on average, almost 3 times more psilocybin! This is why it is recommended to be careful when dosing, and not to apply the same as with the classic Cubensis<\/em>. In dry mushrooms, for a low trip, 0.4g is recommended, for an average trip, 1.1g and for a powerful trip, 2.4g.<\/p>\n\n\n

How to grow the magic mushroom Psilocybe Azurescens: the usefulness of wood chips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are several ways to grow Psilocybe Azurescens<\/em>, with the difference that it is most often grown outdoors. On the net, we can therefore obtain spawnkits, that is to say kits that are already colonized and ready to grow. Several sites offer these items, at higher or lower prices.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You should know that Psilocybe Azurescens<\/em> need freshness. This is why it is necessary to start by placing the spawnkit outside, most often in its garden.However, it is possible to grow Psilocybe Azurescens<\/em> indoors, by putting the culture in a refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

The outdoor cultivation of Psilocybe Azurescens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a spawnkit of Psilocybe Azurescens<\/em> of about 388g like the one sold, it is advisable to have 3.5L of wood chips, 3.5L of coarse sawdust, 2.4L of fine sawdust and 2.4L of water.<\/p>\n\n\n
