Description
What are Panaeolus Bisporus Mushrooms?
The Panaeolus bisporus mushroom, also known as Copelandia bisporus, is a rare and widely distributed species of mushroom known for its psychoactive properties due to the presence of the hallucinogenic compound psilocybin. It is commonly referred to as a magic mushroom and is part of the Panaeolus genus which is known for several psilocybin-containing species. These mushrooms have a characteristic appearance, with a size range of 4-6.5 cm x 2-3 mm, and a cylindrical shape. They have a reddish-brown to greyish color and turn bluish at the base, especially when bruised.
The habitat of Panaeolus bisporus is quite specific as they tend to grow on cattle and buffalo dung. Originally, they are believed to have originated from Morocco, Africa, but have also been found in regions such as Hawaii, Southern California, Spain, and Switzerland, indicating a broad distribution. However, unlike other coprophilic (dung-loving) Panaeolus species, Panaeolus bisporus can also grow in grassy areas, making them somewhat unique within their genus.
The seasonality of their growth is primarily during the spring or rainy seasons, which provides the moist conditions that are conducive for their growth. This mushroom species is not just geographically widespread but also holds a place of interest among mycologists and those interested in psychedelics due to its potent hallucinogenic properties.

Advantages of Liquid Culture over Psilocybe Mexicana Spores
A liquid culture syringe has a significant advantage over a spore syringe in terms of the time you do not have to wait for germination. A liquid culture syringe will save you weeks to months in your endeavor. Another advantage is that liquid cultures can be advanced genetic isolates outperforming spores. Thick Spores sells only genetically isolated LC. Although LC syringes cost more than spore syringes, the benefits far outweigh the cost.
Usage
- Prepare the work area: Before you begin, ensure your workspace is clean and sanitized. You will need a clean surface to rest the syringe on and safe disposal for any used materials.
- Handle the syringe with care to avoid any accidental spills or contamination.
- Prepare the solution: Open the mushroom liquid culture syringe and ensure the aqueous solution is clear, other than the mycelium. If the aqueous solution is cloudy, discard it and start with a new one.
- Prepare a microscopy slide or sanitize the area to be penetrated by the dispensing needle.
- Dispense a small amount of the solution onto a microscopy slide, or inject 1 milliliter into the container you will use through a self-healing injection port.
Tips and Tricks for successful usage:
- Always be as clean as possible.
- Wear clean clothing.
- Practice good oral hygiene.
- Wear new gloves every time.
- Wipe all surfaces, including gloves, with disinfectant.
- Do not introduce un-sanitized items into a sanitized work area.
Shelf Life & Storage
Liquid Culture syringes have a shelf life of approximately three months before the nutrient broth becomes depleted of nutrients. Therefore, you must either use the LC before three months or transfer the mycelium in the syringe to a new and sterile medium with fresh nutrients.
