Cyanescens on cardboard...likelyhood of success?
    #4878737 - 11/01/05 08:01 AM (18 years, 4 months ago)

I am an absolute newb when it comes to woodlovers, my prev. experience is a couple of B+ Cubensis grows, and an Agaricus Bitorquis kit.

Now, something new for me, I just so happened to find a trip worth of Psilocybe Cyanescens, growing on rotting alder twigs, of course, I harvested those, and collected the spores in my dessicator as I dried the mushrooms over NaOH.

I have just attempted preperation of a simple mycelium culture, on sterrilised cardboard, with a makeshift, although completely sterile incubator, cleaned with first MeOH, then boiling water, likewise the spore syringe, MeOH rinse/fill, then rinsed with boiling water, sterile distilled water was used to make the spore solution.

Cardboard was sterrilised with boiling water, without alcohol.

How likely, is it, that perhaps I might be lucky enough to get the square of cardboard to colonise?

If they do, I will likely sterrilise the rest of the cardboard, and apply a little peroxide, followed to transfer of the mycelial culture onto as much cardboard as I have, and thence to a large woodchip bed located in some nearby quiet woods, and watered weekly, in the hope that a flush of cyans or two might pop up.

So, for those with prior experience (I.E more than me :crazy:), any chance that I might succeed in my endeavour? or is this doomed from the start? any reccomendations?

i have grown azuresence with cardboard SPAWN, but i'm not sure if the cardboard has enough nutrients to promote fruiting.

I didn't intend to attempt fruiting off cardboard, I was more wondering about likelyhood of colonising the cardboard, as that is what I am using as spawn, to inoculate a woodchip bed out in the woods.

I will do a growlog assuming I get anything at all.

Has anyone tried fruiting cyans indoors? an indoor bed would be pretty good if one were to devote a room to a grow :smile:

I neglected to mention, I did a second, earlier attempt in a sterillised coffee jar, on a substrate of wholemeal wheat flour (all that I had in the house) and boiled distilled water.

That was covered with two layers of cling film and kept quite wet, then inoculated with some spores from the Cyanescens prints I aqquired, the jar is now around 4 days old, and is beginning to get a cover of fluffy white mycelium.

I intend on letting the jar colonise, then transferring a specimen of the mycelium to several large casings of alder chips in icecream tubs, to try for an indoor grow, whilst saving the majority of the culture for inoculation of a several meter high hardwood chip pile nearby :biggrin:
