Appearance:
Psilocybe cyanescens?has a hygrophanous pileus (cap) that is caramel to chestnut-brown when moist, fading to pale buff or slightly yellowish when dried. Caps generally measure from 1.55 cm (” to 2″) across and are normally distinctly wavy in maturity.
How To Grow Psilocybe Cyanescens Magic Mushroom
The easiest way to make any mushroom grow?is by simply using sterilized straws and spawn bags because they provide an easy way to maintain cleanliness throughout the process.
To start:
Take a straw and cut it in half with some scissors to have two separate pieces of sterile straws.
Fill the bottom portion of one piece of straw with your spore sample or mycelium from an agar plate (if using).
Fill up the other side about half as well.
Place both halves together to seal off any open spaces on either end, leaving plenty of room for airflow by cutting small slits along each edge where they meet at a 45-degree angle.
Now comes the time for sterilizing all those little bags.
Make sure to wash them out and boil them beforehand because this will kill any bacteria that might be inside before we even get started.
Once the bags are clean and sterilized, take another straw that has been cut in half to make two smaller pieces of sterile straws and place them on top of one another with a small opening for airflow at each end where they meet.
Fill these up about half as well before placing your spore or mycelium sample inside each side (or using an agar plate if not).
Now all you have to do is fold the straws over on themselves to form a small square with one end closed off and then take some tape to seal it shut.
Now we’re going to need our substrate material.
This can be achieved by using either pasteurized rye grain or brown rice flour mixed into water to become damp enough without being too wet.
All you’ll need is about a quart size of this mixture?which should be poured onto your sterilized bag filled with spore or mycelium sample before placing them in an area where their temperature will stay between 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit for about two weeks while they grow.
After waiting those couple of weeks, check inside the bags every day until you notice plenty of white, fluffy mycelium growing all over the surface of your substrate.
You’re now ready to place them into a fruiting chamber to produce those delicious shrooms.
After two weeks in the bag, check every day for growth until you notice plenty of white mycelium on the surface of your substrate mix.
Place it into a humidifier or terrarium with perlite and damp vermiculite at about 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit.
The mushrooms should start forming after three to four days if enough humidity is maintained inside this environment with high humidity levels (at least 94% relative humidity).
This will take roughly one week from when they are first placed inside their fruiting area before reaching maturity and can be harvested as long as the environment is maintained at the proper levels.
Once they are mature and ready to be harvested, make sure that you place them into a container with some type of bag or paper towel inside so that you can continue harvesting more mushrooms for up to five weeks.
There’s no need to transfer the spawn from its fruiting chamber because it will produce all of the desired shrooms within this area as long as humidity levels remain high enough.
You have to keep an eye on how humid your surroundings are, which should not be too difficult if there are many windows in your house or workplace where natural light comes in every day.
When water starts evaporating out of the substrate mix (or straw), add more water before seeding new bags.
How long does it take to grow psilocybe cyanescens
You should see the first mushrooms appear after three to four days if the right conditions are maintained.
It will take about one week from when they’re first put inside their fruiting area before they reach maturity and can be harvested as long as humidity levels stay high enough.
Ensure you keep an eye on how humid your surroundings are, which shouldn’t be too difficult because there are usually plenty of windows in houses or workplaces with natural light coming through them every day.
When water starts evaporating out of the substrate mix (or straw), add more water before seeding new bags.
How do you water Psilocybe Cyanescens Magic Mushroom
When water starts evaporating out of the substrate mix, it’s time to add more.
It should be moist but not wet or soaked because this can lead to mold growth and will kill your mushrooms along with any mycelium that hasn’t been fully grown yet.
How to harvest Psilocybe Cyanescens Magic Mushroom
The psilocybe cyanescens mushrooms are harvested for their hallucinogenic effects.
When harvesting the mushrooms, it is important?to know that they will not produce a crop of mushrooms again until the following year’s fruiting cycle.
After picking when fully mature and ready, one must make sure to keep them in cold storage at approximately 34 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, which means refrigeration or freezing.
If you don’t have access to these types of facilities, then keeping them on moist soil under shade can be done, but this may increase the chances of contamination.
If you are harvesting the mushrooms’ nutritional value, it is generally recommended to pick them when they’re young and tender.
This doesn’t mean that picking a mature mushroom will decrease in quality or taste, but younger specimens should be picked instead if one wants more concentrated amounts of vitamin D.
Effects Of Psilocybe Cyanescens Magic Mushroom:
Psilocybin-containing mushrooms commonly known as magic mushrooms have been used since ancient times for their mind-healing properties in different indigenous populations. Recently, psilocybin (4-phosphoryloxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine), a natural hallucinogen and the main compound in magic mushrooms were found to have significant antidepressant effects.
Awareness and use of magic mushrooms for depression and improved quality of life is growing as a result. The recreational dose by most users ranges from 1 to 3.5g of dried mushrooms or 1015g of fresh mushrooms. Magic mushrooms are generally not considered toxic with a lethal dose of 280mg/kg in rats and 17kg/70kg for humans.
Fatal intoxications due to exposure to magic mushrooms are rare and often reported to be mainly due to combination with other drugs. However, psilocybin-containing mushrooms are also known to induce a temporary increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
This increase in heart rate and blood pressure may present a risk to users suffering from cardiovascular illnesses such as heart failure. Therefore use and safety of magic mushrooms in heart failure conditions needs to be investigated.
Does the study investigate the effects and safety of Psilocybe cubensis and Panaeolus cyanescens magic mushrooms from the genus Psilocybe and Panaeolus respectively, in pathological hypertrophy conditions in which endothelin-1 (ET1-1) disorder is a contributor to pathogenesis Endothelin-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor that plays a critically important role in the induction of myocyte hypertrophy Cardiac hypertrophy involves an increase in heart size without myocytes proliferation
Initially, cardiac hypertrophy is adaptive but over time as the disease continues it moves into a decompensation stage which is pathological and progresses into heart failure. Pathological hypertrophy is characterized by an increase in expressions of fontal genes such as natriuretic peptides (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptides (BNP) consequently, both ANP and BNP are well-known hallmarks of heart failure.
The involvement of Gq-protein coupled receptor signaling is another main indicator of pathological hypertrophy. Their agonists include ET-1 and angiotensin II both of which are chronically increased in the illness where they induce their effects on cardiac myocytes, altering excitation-contraction coupling and more chronic effects on cardiac growth. Potent pro-hypertrophic effects of ET-1 in vitro on primary cultures of ventricular myocytes are noticeably within the first 15 min of its application to the cells.
Precaution Psilocybe Cyanescens Magic Mushroom:
When taken by mouth: Psilocybin is possibly safe when used as a single dose under medical supervision. Single doses of psilocybin have been used in controlled settings without serious side effects. The most common side effects include confusion, fear, hallucinations, headache, high blood pressure, nausea, and paranoia. Despite being a controlled substance in the US, the risk for abuse seems low. Withdrawal symptoms and physical dependence don’t appear to be a major concern.
There isn’t enough reliable information to know if psilocybin is safe to use without medical supervision at any dose, including microdoses. Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There isn’t enough reliable information to know if psilocybin is safe to use when pregnant or breastfeeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Dosage Of Psilocybe Cyanescens Magic Mushroom:
Dosages of pure psilocybin are as follows:
- Microdose: < 4 mg
- Low dose:4 8 mg
- Average dose:6 ?20 mg
- High dose:20 ?35 mg
- Very high dose:> 35 mg
Dosages of mushrooms vary depending on the species, their state of preservation if they are fresh or dried mushrooms, and other factors, so adjusting the doses of mushrooms is always imprecise. Usually, the doses for usual varieties (P. cubensis and the like) of dry mushrooms are as follows:
- Microdose:< 0.25 gr
- Low dose:25 -1 gr
- Average dose:1 2.5 gr
- High dose:5 5 gr
- Very high dose:> 5 gr
Legality Of Psilocybe Cyanescens Magic Mushroom:
The active ingredients of psilocybin mushrooms, psilocybin, and psilocin are controlled substances on Schedule I of the 1971 United Nations convention. Therefore, the sale of these substances is illegal.
However, mushrooms containing these substances are controlled differently in particular countries, according to each country’s interpretation of Schedule I. In Schedule I of the 1971 Convention, only active ingredients appear, not the natural materials that contain them (such as mushrooms or plants), which leaves the interpretation of the prohibition of botanical materials open to the particular laws of each country. Furthermore, in many countries, these mushrooms grow wild.
