psilocybe cyanescens spore syringe
Psilocybe cyanescens spore syringe
Commonly known as the “Wavy Cap” mushroom, is a potent species of psychedelic mushroom recognized for its distinctive wavy-edged cap and high concentrations of psychoactive compounds. This species, native to temperate regions of Europe and North America, is particularly known for its potency, making it a subject of great interest among mycologists and psychedelic researchers alike. The use of a spore syringe is a common method for studying and cultivating Psilocybe cyanescens, allowing for controlled and sterile propagation of this fascinating species.
Psilocybe cyanescens is easily identifiable by its caramel-colored cap, which develops wavy edges as it matures. This characteristic gives the mushroom its common name, “Wavy Cap.” The mushroom’s gills are initially pale but darken as the spores mature, turning a deep purplish-brown. The stem, or stipe, of the mushroom is often slender, with a whitish color that can bruise blue when handled. This blue bruising is a hallmark of many psilocybin-containing mushrooms and indicates the presence of the psychoactive compound.
