Psilocybe azurescens and Ps. cyanescens are both cold- and wood loving mushrooms. They're mainly found on hard wood patches (preferably fresh hard wood chips).
You can easily cultivate mycelium from prints, just like you do it with Psilocybe cubensis. Take a look here. To fruit, they require -as already said- wood chips, as well as constantly low to moderate temperatures between 40F to 60F.
The difficulty to grow them, is actually not given. They are quiet easy. You most likely need to do it outdoors though, unless you can provide the required circumstances, which most can't. A fridge with a see-through door is an option for example. You won't be able to bring them to fruit, when you try using the same condition as for Cubes!
Both, Azures, as well as Cyans are far more potent than Cubes.

and do you think that sacrificing the level of domestication that has gone into cubensis strains for the potency of azurescens or cyanescens?
Did you experienced anything like this with Cubes?

Cyans prefer tropical climates, so the better you can simulate that, the more success you will have.
You talk of a different species. Psilocybe cyanescens are located in moderate climates, such in the PNW and require the same conditions, Azures do.
You're talking about Panaeolus cyanescens. They are completely different species.

Since the pic is really bad, a proper ID can't be done looking at it.
Try to get your hands on a decent cam and take some more pictures.
It's probably superfluous, but since I've seen it so often: Don't eat any of them before you're 100% they are the real deal!
Once you made some proper pics, I will be able to tell weather they're Azures, or not.
Currently, they look more like a maybe a Hypholoma species to me. I can't really tell, though.
Where did you find them?

I'm pretty sure, that these ain't Psilocybe azurescens, nor any other kind of active Psilocybe species.
Take these pics, and make a post in here.

So out of personal experience what do you think these are?
Hypholoma might be one option, depending on the gill / spore print color. Pics of gills would be nice. Maybe some kind of Psathyrella sp.. Don't know.

and the stems bruised almost black.
Again: Pictures!

I looked up some pics of these but I don't know if they were a reliable resource. I can't find any posative ID for these.
Which is why I asked you to post your ID requests in the hunting forum. There's people that really know what they're doing in terms of IDing.
I'm pretty sure a properly asked ID request (see the top of the hunting forum to know what I mean) will lead some people to be able to tell what it is.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure, it isn't active. It definitely isn't Psilocybe azurescens.
