Blue Meanies Mushrooms
Blue Meanies mushrooms are actually not a strain, but rather a common name for a psilocybin-containing mushroom species known as Panaeolus cyanescens.

Blue Meanies Mushroom Potency
As mentioned above, blue meanies magic mushrooms are named after the substantial blue staining that occurs to the fruiting body after it has been picked, handled, or damaged. Even it’s species name, cyanscens, comes from this reaction. This blue staining is generally an indicator of the presence of psilocybin and psilocin (psychoactive compounds in magic mushrooms that make you trip), since the blue hue is caused by the oxidation of the compound psilocin at the site of impact. With blue meanies being named for the excessive bluing reaction, you’d be right to assume that they are are very potent. In fact, analysis from 25 samples of Panaeolus cyanscens shows psilocybin and psilocin concentrations of 2.5% and 1.194% respectively, making this species the most potent psilocybin mushroom ever described in reputable published research.
The Effects Of Blue Meanies Mushrooms
As with most psychedelic mushrooms, blue meanies produce a range of physical, perceptual, emotional, psychological, and spiritual effects which vary depending on dosage, including:
- Auditory distortions
- Colour Enhancement
- Distortion of space/time
- Intense feelings of euphoria and joy
- Introspection
- Morphing of objects
- Mystical states like feeling connected to the universe
- Synesthesia (i.e. “hearing colours”, “seeing sounds”)
Blue meanies can be almost 5x a potent as the more commonly consumed Psilocybe cubensis, meaning lower doses are needed to achieve “higher-dose” experiences.
If you wish to explore blue meanies, especially at higher doses, it’s recommended that you contact a psychedelic integration therapist beforehand. You can find one from our listing here.

The stems of blue meanies mushrooms are a similar colour to the cap, long and slender, becoming thicker towards the base.
