Hawaiian / Blue Meanies (Copelandia/Panaeolus cyanescens)
A mushroom with different names. Because they were previously discovered in Hawaii, we also call them Hawaiians. But they are found all over the world. From Brazil to Central Africa and from Luxembourg to New Zealand. Copelandia was subdivided among the Panaeolus family of mushrooms, in honor of scientist Edwin Bingham Copeland. By the way, do not confuse this Panaeolus cyanescens with Psilocybe cyanescens; that is a different species.
Panaeolus mushrooms are among the strongest psilocybin-containing mushrooms. This variety is jokingly called "blue meanies" because they can be quite vicious with their blue-out color if you don't prepare yourself. Young caps are light brown in color, but as they mature and release their jet black spores, the mushrooms turn white or light gray. If you bruise or damage them, they turn azure blue. Eventually, the caps measure 1.5 to 4 inches wide.
Don't let their small stature surprise you: copelandias are unusually strong compared to Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. You can tell by all sorts of things that these are totally different mushrooms from our other grow kits. Therefore, they are not for novice psychonauts! Prepare for a trip like no other, or dose a lot less than with Golden Teacher, McKennaii, Thai or Mexicana mushrooms. They contain 4 to 5 times more psilocybin per dry weight than these mushrooms, although a little less psilocin. In total, these bad boys are about 2 times as strong as the average cubensis. The nature of the trip is similar, so we highly recommend to use our mushroom calculator to determine your desired effect.

Grow Panaeolus Cyanescens Mushrooms in 10 Steps
Be aware that these instructions are different from the cubensis mushrooms.
You store the mushrooms in the refrigerator at 2-4°C. For cultivation, 24°C is optimal. You can achieve this by placing the cultivation set on a heating mat if the room temperature is 19 degrees or lower. Do not use a heating mat if the temperature is 20 degrees or higher, as mushrooms generate heat when they grow. See the recommended products for such a mat. However, place a few blocks, a folded towel, or tip booklets between the mat and growkit, otherwise the mushrooms will become too warm anyway.
Complete instructions:
- Boil about a liter of water, let it boil and let the water cool to room temperature. Fill a plant sprayer with this cooled water and use the rest to clean the outside of the cultivation set.
- Clean the environment in which you are working. Disinfect your countertop or table. Mushrooms are particularly sensitive to contamination.
- Remove the items from the Dutch Headshop box. Open the mushroom cultivation set box and take out all the items. Sometimes you have to search for the paper clips. Keep the box.
- Wash your hands and forearms as if you are going to perform surgery: very thoroughly! Preferably wear sterile latex gloves.
- Gently open the growkit and make sure you don't exhale towards the growkit. Also open the soil containers and distribute the soil evenly over the growkit. Copelandia mushrooms don't grow without adding soil.
- Spray the soil wet with fresh water in the plant sprayer. But prevent a layer of water from standing on the soil. So do not saturate.
- Pour a little water into the bag. About one to two centimeters of water in the bag when you put the kit in it.
- Now put the kit in the supplied bag and spray generously with the plant sprayer on the mist setting on all sides inside the plastic bag. Fan the bag open and closed several times for extra fresh air and close the bag when it is full of fresh air with the supplied paper clips.
- Place the bag with the growkit inside in the shade. A little light is desirable, but definitely do not put the bag in direct sunlight.
- Now the cultivation starts. Growing mushrooms means providing the right conditions. Open the bag every day and repeat the misting of the inside with a plant sprayer. Fan the bag open and closed and close it again with a full bag.
- It can take a week to 20 days before the first mushrooms appear. When that happens, remove the kit from the bag before spraying. Copelandias dislike direct contact with water*.
- Five to seven days later the mushrooms are ready for harvest. Wait with harvesting until the caps have unfolded and the mushrooms start to release spores. You can see this from a very dark deposit on the smaller mushrooms and on the cake. Unlike other types, this is actually desirable for these mushrooms.
If the yield is disappointing? Remove all mushrooms and let one or two centimeters of boiled and cooled (room temperature) water stand in the kit. Close the kit and put it in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. This has two functions. It signals that the mushrooms are going to pin again and the cold from the refrigerator prevents bacterial growth. Pour off the water after 12-24 hours of soaking in the refrigerator. Usually, the yield is higher on the second flush, provided you continue to work as clean as a surgeon.
* Important: after the mushrooms come above the ground, you no longer spray the cultivation set, but only the inside of the bag. Copelandia mushrooms don't like rain and they will wilt if sprayed directly.
Optimal parameters Copelandia mushrooms:
For the seasoned grower, we have selected the optimal conditions for you.
Growing mycelium
Please note that this is not necessary with our grow kit. The mycelium is mature and ready for fruiting.
- Relative humidity: 90% or more.
- Temperature of the substrate: 26 to 29°C.
- Keep the bag closed: no air changes.
- Put in complete darkness.
- CO2: 10,000 ppm or less.
Fruit formation (pins / primordia).
To raise pins.
- Relative humidity: 95% or more.
- Temperature: 24 to 26.5 °C.
- Change air ideally 2x per hour (open bag and keep safe from contamination). Practically, you can change the air once or twice a day.
- Put in light (soft diffuse daylight, not in full sun).
- CO2: 5,000 ppm or less.
After fruiting
When small mushrooms appear.
- Temperature: 24 to 28 °C.
- Change air continuously (leave bag open, but safe from contamination).
- Spray water in the bag on the inside of the bag, but definitely not on the kit and mushrooms themselves. Doing so will destroy the mushrooms. Rel. humidity 85-92%. It is better to remove the container from the bag.
- Put in light (soft diffuse daylight, not in full sun).
- CO2: 5,000 ppm or less.
Hawaiian Mushrooms Harvesting
It takes about 5 to 20 days from start-up before the first mushroom heads show up. From then on, it may take several days before they are ripe for harvest. Try to grow as many mushrooms 5-10 centimeters long as possible. When the caps open, the spores are released from the "gills" of the mushroom. 24-36 hours after this happens is the ideal time for harvesting. Harvest all the Hawaiians together, when most of the mushrooms are ready.
Harvesting is simple. Simply push them over until they snap at the base of the stem.
One more time
Immediately after harvest, spray the growkit with water (boiled and cooled to room temperature). Spray just until the layer of soil is thoroughly wet, and place the growkit in the bag again. Should there still be a layer of water in the grow kit after a day or two, drain it and place it back in the bag. Another flush of mushrooms will start growing, but they may not be as many as the first time. You can try after the second time to see if there is a third flush in there. Who knows, you might get a total of more than 50 grams out of it!
Every time you touch the grow kit, it is extremely important that you are clean.
The Yield
If you manage to grow more flushes than the first, you may be able to grow more than 50 grams of fresh Panaeolus cyanescens mushrooms. But then you have to work very cleanly and follow the instructions closely.
How Do Magic Mushrooms Work?
Mushrooms and Magic Truffles contain the active hallucinogens psilocybin, psilocin and baeocystin. Together, they give you a psychedelic experience comparable to DMT and LSD. The differences between the effects of different kinds of magic mushrooms and magic truffles, such as the impact of trip, intensity and subjective experience are attributed to the ratio and total content of these three substances. In addition, magic mushrooms and truffles also contain other alkaloids that color the experience, to which less research has been done.
In the body, psilocybin is rapidly converted to psilocin and attaches to some receptors in the brain. Psilocin acts like serotonin; the natural hormone for learning, memory and a sense of well-being, among other things.
After 15 minutes to an hour, the first effects begin. Often a trip begins with a burst of laughter and certain unremarkable things suddenly become noticeable. Next, a wall or ceiling may suddenly show all sorts of patterns. With the eyes closed, this effect only gets stronger. A kaleidoscopic tunnel effect is often observed. You reach the peak of the experience after 2 to 4 hours. At a normal dosage you will then see slight hallucinations in the room; figures that are not there or you may hear voices. You may also suddenly think firmly differently. As if you and the couch you are sitting on suddenly melt together. Don't be afraid of intense emotions, because these smart drugs open all kinds of doors! At high doses, you can achieve transcendental effects. An out of body experience and a journey through the universe are among the possibilities. Not for beginners!
A trip lasts up to 8 hours. You will not experience a hangover, but you will need several days to process what you have seen. In fact, a trip can last much longer for your experience.
Are Magic Mushrooms Legal and Safe?
Within Dutch law, magic mushrooms themselves are not allowed to be traded. Grow kits and Magic Truffles are not included in the law that way. By the way, they are the safest** trip drugs out there because there are no immediate unpleasant side effects such as vomiting*, dehydration or hangover after use. Compared to other drugs they are the least toxic and the least addictive. You build up a tolerance immediately after use, which makes them virtually ineffective for several days after the trip. After 10 days the tolerance is gone.
* Be aware that you can get dizzy from all those visual effects and if you really don't like mushrooms, you might as well throw up.
** The safety of trip drugs depends on the dose, the set (your state of mind, body and health) and the setting (the environment, atmosphere and trip sitter present). Treat trip drugs with respect and preferably do not use them in public places or at parties. Do not drive.
Dosage and Usage
We would like to inform you correctly. A dose of dried Copelandia cyanescens mushrooms is between 0.4 and 1.5 grams. That doesn't sound like much, but be aware that these mushrooms are very potent. Fresh mushrooms are also edible, but for many not so palatable. They often have a strong, somewhat bitter mushroom taste and do just fine in a dish. Whatever you do, do not heat mushrooms or put them in the freezer. This actually destroys the active ingredients. A normal dose of fresh Copelandia cyanescens mushrooms is 5 - 10 grams.
Microdosing with blue meanies is not recommended. Because of their strength and small size, they are difficult to dose very finely. Rather take magic truffles, Thai or Mexicana mushrooms for this purpose.
Always use magic mushrooms and magic truffles in a safe setting - preferably at home on the couch with someone who knows how to act when you are not feeling well. In that case it is advisable to take our trip stopper to calm you down (see the recommended products). Let the trip come over you. Put on relaxing music and enjoy what these special natural products show you.
Do not combine with alcohol, medication, or other (smart) drugs.
In the refrigerator the grow kit will keep for about 6 weeks. Outside the refrigerator has a very limited shelf life.
Please note that this product cannot be exchanged as the shelf life is limited and the product must be kept refrigerated.
