DO NOT CONTACT US ABOUT ANYTHING REGARDING CULTIVATING OR GERMINATING ACTIVE SPORES.  Shipping is unavailable to California, Idaho, & Georgia. These 3 states strictly prohibit the possession of spores from psilocybin and psilocin producing mushroom species. We will refuse and void any orders made to these 3 states. Furthermore, any payments made for orders to CA, ID, or GA will incur a $5 cancellation fee.  The provided images are for informational and educational purposes only and are used as a reference point only. We acquire all images and spores from outside, trusted sources in a legal manner. We also do not condone or participate in the cultivation of psilocybin or psilocin producing mushroom species.  When buying Blue Meanie swabs, visibility is dependent on the characteristics of the spores themselves. As a result, not all spore swabs will look the same visibly. Despite any visible differences, they are still viable for microscopy research. Origin Information Blue Meanies are a very well known and popular variety of Cubensis due to both its reliability and strong performance under the microscope. It’s important to note that there are some other mushroom species that are nicknamed Blue Meanies, such as Psilocybe azurescens and Panaeolus cyanescens. However, the particular spores in this listing are of the Cubensis species like many other sought-after varieties belong to like Golden Teachers and Jedi Mind Fuck. No one is 100% certain where Blue Meanies originated from, although many agree that they were first found in Australia. Australia is a hot spot for many mushroom species and experts estimate that there are 20-30 psychoactive species that can be found on the continent!  The reason this Cubensis variety was dubbed as “Blue Meanies” is due to the fact that they bruise blue very easily. Psilocybin containing mushrooms are known to do this when handled or damaged, and Blue Meanies are no exception. In fact, even the smallest physical touch or jolt will cause them to turn a deep, dark blue color.  For a long time, it was a mystery as to how and why magic mushrooms turned blue. But with recent studies, it was discovered that a series of reactions occur with the psilocybin when the mushroom is disturbed. When the mushroom is touched or damaged, the psilocybin in that area begins to oxidize into psilocin and a series of chain reactions follow. The final result of the reaction is a blue pigment that is actually incredibly similar to indigo, which is used to dye blue jeans. More detailed information on this research is available HERE!
