I will hopefully have enough spawn in 1 month. Maybe 8-10 quart jars.

I am going to try to establish cyanescens in my garden in Toronto. I guess I?m late for this year but there?s still snow on the ground here. The azurescens has been established all around me in Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin. My climate is similar. I am glad you find the cyanescens mycellium more vigorous. My cyanescens spore syringes are on their way from Sporelab.com. I notice you don?t use any cardboard in your process. Some people are having very good results with this even fruiting the azurescens on plain cardboard. I am determined to have success with my project even if I have to put heating cables into the ground. I am going to try using the Orchid Bark which is Douglas Fir as this is one of the woods that cyanescens likes. I have a lot of it left over since I switched my orchids to coconut chips.

Rhododendrons were planted in May.
The bed was spawned with a mixture of 7+ quarts of colonised maple/alder chips and freshly sterilised (using bleach and peroxide) alder chips on 6/23.
Here are some pics w/ captions.
I typed this damn post 2 times with more detail and lost it to damn Yahoo! pop-ups  . So this is what you get, it?s probably better this way anyway.
7 fully colonised quart jars consisting of some alder jars and some maple jars.
A close up of one of the older jars.
One part of bed with expanded spawn mix.
The same part with fully colonised chips laid over.
A pic indicating the spawned areas of the bed.

Water jug watering.

Are you pastuerising or sterilising the Wood spawn?
I`m assuming sterilising would be fine because you don`t have to protect any of the anaerobic bacteria present in bulk spawns?
OR am I wrong in saying that?
Also Joshua you were saying you had an azure print for sale??
Is it still available?
I`d like to try this with a fridge instead of outdoor.
PM me if you still want to sell a print.

The woodchps in the jars were PC?d.
The chips I used for the final spawn mix had been stored outdoors in a garbage bag. When I opened them I found plenty of green. I was contemplating a couple different methods for preparation, but decided sterilisation was the way to go so that all of the mold spores would be killed.
I soaked the chips in a weak bleach sol?n for 24 hrs, I then added a couple of bottles of %3 peroxide and let sit another 24 hrs.
I don?t believe psilocybe species rely on micro-organisms to aid in fruiting, so killing them all off shouldn?t have been too big of a problem. I think that is what you were asking.
I checked a few weeks ago on the level of colonisation. I gently moved the composted woodchips aside until I reached a solid mass of colonised woodchips, the spawn took and took very well!

>I don?t believe psilocybe species rely on micro-organisms to aid in fruiting
It very looks that the woodloving, cold temperature fruiting species DO require some kind of an aditional trigger along with cooler temperatures to start pinning, possibly the right bacteria.
I think Workman could elaborate more on this.

wow.. that looks wonderful. Let me know when there are prints ready... I would love one. 
Where I live in febuary it is -20 fahrenheit... which brings me to another question. How hardy is the mycelium of the azurescens? Can it withstand a hard frost or would it require some form of protection from weather that cold?
beautiful work as usual
