Copelandia

A Copelandia grow kit is a fully colonised horse dung block of Panaeolus cyanescens, the dung-loving species once filed under the genus Copelandia, ready for you to case and fruit at home. This range is for adult growers (18+) who want a change from cubensis kits. Azarius has been selling grow kits online since 1999, and this sub-category holds exactly two strains you can order: Hawaiian and Florida.

Buy a Copelandia Grow Kit: Hawaiian vs Florida

Order the Florida kit if this is your first Copelandia grow, and get the Hawaiian kit once you've brought a few kits to harvest. Both use the same 1200 ml horse dung block, grow bag and cup of topsoil casing, so your choice comes down to strain, forgiveness and how many flushes you want. Read the table by experience level first, then by strength.

Copelandia Grow Kits vs Psilocybe Cubensis Kits

These kits contain a different mushroom altogether: Panaeolus cyanescens, not Psilocybe cubensis. Copelandia is the older genus name, and it's still widely used. In nature this species fruits on dung, which is why both kits run on horse dung rather than the grain-based substrates you'll find in most cubensis kits.

The bigger difference is strength. Both strains we stock are rated at four to five times the potency of cubensis, so a fresh harvest from one block goes a lot further than the same weight of cubensis. If you're used to judging a kit by grams, recalibrate before you buy.

Our blunt take: the Florida kit is forgiving enough for someone new to Copelandia, but skip the Hawaiian until you've got at least one successful harvest under your belt. It's rated for experienced growers for a reason.

How to Choose Between the Two Kits

1. Your track record. New to this species? The Copelandia Florida Grow Kit is rated easy. Already confident with casing and humidity? Shop the Copelandia Hawaiian Grow Kit.
2. Your room temperature. Florida's sweet spot is 23-25 C. If your spare room can't hold that steadily, sort the heating before you order.
3. How long you want the block to produce. Florida spreads its total over 3-5 flushes, Hawaiian over 2-3. Total fresh yield lands in a similar bracket either way.
4. Strength. Hawaiian sits at the top of this pair, up to five times cubensis.

When in doubt, order the Florida kit. It's the one we'd hand to a friend trying Copelandia for the first time. For more on both strains, read our news post on the two new kits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Copelandia the same as Panaeolus cyanescens?

Yes. Copelandia is the older genus name for Panaeolus cyanescens, and both kits in this sub-category contain that species. The Florida strain is named after the US state it comes from.

Which Copelandia grow kit should I buy first?

Buy the Copelandia Florida Grow Kit. It's rated easy, gives you 3-5 flushes and has a clear temperature target of 23-25 C. Save the Hawaiian for your second grow.

Why does a Copelandia kit use horse dung instead of grain?

Panaeolus cyanescens is a dung-loving species, so horse dung is its natural substrate. The block arrives fully colonised; you add the topsoil casing and follow the instructions. The Hawaiian kit ships with species-specific growing instructions. The small holes in the Hawaiian kit's grow bag are there on purpose.

Are Copelandia kits stronger than cubensis grow kits?

Yes, considerably. The Florida strain is rated at more than four times the potency of Psilocybe cubensis, and the Copelandia Hawaiian Grow Kit at up to five times.

How much does a Copelandia kit yield?

It depends on the strain. The Hawaiian kit gives 90-130 g fresh in total over 2-3 flushes. The Florida kit gives 100-130 g fresh in total over 3-5 flushes. Both use the same 1200 ml horse dung block.
