Genetic Background: Azurescens is a lesser-known strain due to its demanding growth conditions and generally lower yields. It naturally thrives in the coastal regions of North America, particularly in cooler climates, which distinguishes it from other strains. Its ability to survive and flourish in coastal wood-based environments makes it an interesting subject of study in mycological research.

Cultivation: Azurescens is known for its difficulty in cultivation, especially indoors. It thrives in outdoor settings where cooler temperatures and wood-based substrates mimic its natural habitat. For experienced researchers and cultivators, providing the right conditions can yield rewarding results, but this strain requires a specific, controlled environment.

Appearance: Azurescens mushrooms have distinctive caramel-colored caps with a central nipple-like protrusion and saucer-shaped structure. Though small in stature, they are recognized for their characteristic blue bruising upon handling, making them visually unique and a topic of interest for mycologists.

Historical Significance: Discovered in 1979 near the Columbia River in Oregon, Azurescens was later described in 1995 by renowned mycologist Paul Stamets. This strain is notable for its unique characteristics and resilience, contributing to its ongoing study in the world of functional fungi.
