Goliath Copelandia panaeolus cyanescens spore print

The mushroom Spore prints are made on sterile foil which is stored in sterile ziplock bag and kept under refrigerated conditions. Each spore print has a tiny scratch of spores removed from the print. With this swab a test run on agar or liquid culture is made to check the conditions of the spores. Only spores that germinate are released as a print.

Store Spore Spore print refrigerated between 2*C-8*C Celsius or 35*F-46*F Fahrenheit. A mushroom Spore print can be stored for years.

This panaeolus cyanescens deserves its strain name “Goliath” for clear reasons: The mushrooms grow tall and the hats are very broad and wide. The meaty flesh of the fruits makes that the potency is very high, also in the fresh weight. Just like other p. cyanescens, the Goliath prefers cow dung to grow, but horse manure also works very well. Also ‘cubsensis‘ TEKS can work, but these will make the Goliath apear more as many ‘Davids‘: Small, plentiful and powerful.

Panaeolus cyanescens ‘Goliath’ magic mushroom spore vials are produced under sterile conditions and should be kept dark and refrigerated (2-8°C) to increase the shelf life of the spores.

Spore vials are superior to the spore syringes in most fields. Get the best results when cultivating Panaeolus cyanescens ‘Goliath’ magic mushrooms with this quality spore vial. Using spore vials will result in a higher success rate in the colonization and fruiting process.
