Cyanescen Mushroom Spore Print

Cyanescen Spore Print

The Psilocybe cyanescens Wavy Cap Mushroom Spore Print from Magic Spore Labs offers researchers basidiospores from one of mycology's most historically anchored and morphologically distinctive Psilocybe species — a temperate woodland native whose formal scientific description dates to 1946, when British mycologist Elsie Wakefield first documented specimens collected at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. That Kew Gardens origin gives Psilocybe cyanescens one of the most precisely recorded type descriptions in the genus, a provenance that has anchored its taxonomy research significance across nearly eight decades of subsequent mycological study.

Since Wakefield's original description, P. cyanescens has naturalized extensively across temperate regions of North America and Europe — colonizing wood-chip mulch beds, lignin-rich garden substrates, and urban green spaces with a consistency that has made it one of the most geographically accessible Psilocybe species for field documentation and comparative research. Its morphology is immediately recognizable: a hygrophanous caramel to chestnut-brown cap with characteristically wavy margins at maturity, dark purple-brown basidiospore deposits, and a notable bluing reaction when tissue is damaged — a chemically reactive trait that distinguishes it clearly from Psilocybe cubensis under both field observation and microscopy examination.

Magic Spore Labs produces every Psilocybe cyanescens spore print under GMP-aligned sterile conditions, depositing a dense, uncontaminated basidiospore sample onto individually sealed sterile aluminum foil substrate. Prints store at ambient temperature for up to 24 months with no refrigeration required. We ship to researchers across the United States, excluding California, Idaho, and Georgia. All products are sold strictly for microscopy and taxonomy research purposes only.
