PANAEOLUS-COPELANDIA

Panaeolus is a cosmopolitan genus of agaric mushrooms which belongs to the Coprinaceae family. Thirteen species of Panaeolus contain the hallucinogen psilocybin including Panaeolus cyanescens, Panaeolus subbalteus, Panaeolus tropicalis, Panaeolus africanus, and Pan. cambodginiensis.

The genus Panaeolus may be subdivided into three distinct groups, as far as their psychodysleptic power is concerned: the psilocybian species, the latent psilocybian species and the non-psilocybian species.
The word Panaeolus is Greek for “all variegated”, referring to their gills that appear spotted, a phenomenon that occurs as the spore-producing cells on the gills ripen unevenly in patches. Panaeolus includes members of the Copelandia genus, composed of twelve mushroom species, all of which are known to contain the hallucinogens psilocin and psilocybin. Copelandia are described as tropical or semi-tropical Panaeoli that readily bruise blue, and include species such as bispora, cambodginiensis, cyanescens, and tropicalis. None of the mushrooms in Copelandia have a partial veil.
Because both genera present genetic closeness, they were merged making Panaeolus a major psilocybin mushroom type with over twenty psychoactive species. For taxonomic clarity, these genera or sub-genera, even if they were originally described otherwise, may be accurately represented under the epithet Panaeolus or Panaeolus-Copelandia.
Most species of Panaeolus are known to contain appreciable amounts 5-hydroxytryptophan, and its parent serotonin, an important neurotransmitter in our brains described to regulate mood like depression. Actually, in Samoan Pan. Cyan. is called the “spirit hat” or “the comedy house”, nick names that clearly express the euphoric effects one may feel upon ingestion.
In fact, Panaeolus cyanescens aka the Hawaiian Blue Meanie, has been investigated as a possible therapeutic for anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. To this day research continues, and the use of psychoactive substances to help in psychiatry is being explored.
These delicate yet highly adaptative fungi can be white, grey or tan, with long thin fragile stems, and usually hemispheric to bell-shaped caps. Found in the tropics and neo-tropics of both hemispheres where literature describes colourful accidental intoxications filtering sight through a green hue and turning walls into animated fractals. Fortunately, none have been proven to be poisonous.

What is mycelium and can we consume it?

Mycelium is the vegetative underground part of the fungus, made of a network of fine white filaments (hyphae), that act as roots, seek for food, facilitates microfiltration, absorbs nutrients, and serve as an organic filter for soil and water. When the mycelium hardens, it becomes sclerotium, which can be consumed for its entheogenic properties.
By breaking down organic matter it feeds on, mycelium regenerates the soil by ridding the ground of any pollutants. The biomass it breaks down turns into compost that feeds the plants around it.
Hyphae, the tubes that grow into food sources digest other organisms to get energy that they can then pass on to those who need it in exchange for nutrients they need. In a way, it is like a contract. This mycorrhizal relationship is like an underground world wide web or wood wide web where plants and fungi exchange and support each other in their weaknesses. Mycelium could be described as micro filtration membranes, externalized stomachs and lungs that spread and communicated, feed and are fed. The largest living organism in the world is actually a 2000 years old mycelial map located in Eastern Oregon and with a fantastic size of 2 200 acres. Mycelium has an incredible and diversified potential for environmental solutions. Psilocybe authority Stamet is currently exploring ways to revolutionizing the insecticide industry while engaging mycelium.

There are different types of mycelium, we’ll describe three.
+ The rhizomorphic string-like mycelium, the kind that mushroom growers are looking for. It spreads on the substrates as a network of strings, in search of the optimal conditions for the rest of the colony to spread. It tends to spread even which leads to a rather organised set of mushroom pins.
+ Tomentose, the cottony cloud-like mycelium. This mycelium doesn’t need to spread to find nutrients, so it grows in fluffy cottony looking patches. The strands are still there just compacted together. Some debate that tomentose mycelium leads to a slower growing process with less generous flushes while others say results depend on the quality of the environment.
+ Aerial mycelium is one you’ve most probably already observed, perhaps when a piece of food gets forgotten in a Tupperware crack. Yes, aerial mycelium occurs when growing conditions are not optimal. You can notice the strands lifting to the air rather than stretching or bunching, like they are trying to escape or desperately looking for something. This can often be taken for bacterial infection and unfortunately, leave your mushrooms weaker and smaller by harvest time, like energy being lost or not well directed.
Usually, aerial mycelium appears when there is a lack of fresh air exchange or an excessively humid environment. You can tell mycelium and mould apart by the discoloration. If you notice green, black , grey or blue spots in your fruiting box, you want to be careful. Actually, blue can also be the reaction of the mycelium bruising, perhaps when it is growing against a hard surface for example.
Today, study shows mushrooms can digest plastic, mycelium can make bacon or replace foam for packaging, the incredible environmental-friendly possibilities mushrooms offer are priceless and being explored.

Which are the most popular Panaeoli?

While most of the species in this genus grow on dung, only a few are non-coprophilic, favouring grassy, and rarely woodland habitat. Panaeoli are saprotrophic, meaning they grow on decaying matter and may be found in a variety of habitats such as grassland, dead moss, dead grass, sand dunes, decayed wood, and dung.
All these habitats and its highly adaptative nature have greatly contributed spreading its distribution worldwide, using dung as a vessel for travel. While some are thought to have made it from the Hawaiian Islands to the Floridian wild through pineapple ships like the very potent Pan. tropicalis, others like Pan. subbalteus inherited the name Weed Mushroom for always finding its way inside the bed cultures of grocery-store mushroom Agaricus bisporus.

The most popular and potent, Panaeolus cyanescens aka the Hawaiian Blue Meanie, has been investigated as a possible therapeutic for anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. From Europe to the tropics, for many consumers Panaeoli have the reputation of being “the perfect alchemist” that “turns dung into gold, the golden light of enlightment”, the healing sacred touch of God.
