Overview
Panaeolus Cyanescens British Virgin Isles have a striking appearance and have been growing in the wild for thousands of years. The name Panaeolus comes from the Greek word "panaios" meaning "variegated" referring to the distinctive spotted or mottled gills found in this genus. The species name Cyanescens comes from the Latin word "cyaneus" meaning "blue" which references the characteristic blue bruising of the mushroom, a visible sign of the psilocybin content.
The British Virgin Isles strain has also been referred to as Blue Meanies not to be confused with the Cubensis variety of the same name. British Virgin Isles mushrooms themselves exhibit tall, thin white stems and brilliant white bell shaped caps. The spores are ellipsoidal and jet black in colour. British Virgin Isles spores are an exhilarating study under the microscope for those wanting to further their knowledge and experience.
