Panaeolus cyanescens TTBVI Spore Print

Spores are supplied as spore prints on heavy foil. Each print is individually packaged and prepared for clean, stable storage. Spore print size and density may vary by species and variety.

The TTBVI variety of Panaeolus (Copelandia) cyanescens was originally collected in the British Virgin Islands by a local mushroom enthusiast. Cow dung harvested from a field was left in a plastic bag unattended under a tamarind tree. Within several days, several white white Panaeolus cyanescens fruits began thriving in the bag. Thus the strain is referred to as the Tamarind Tree British Virgin Islands Pan cyanescens. Incredibly vigorous and prolific, a top representation of this species.

A strain of this variety developed by GordoTEK was recognized at the 2022 cultivar cup as being the strongest ever tested.
