PSILOCYBE OVOIDEOCYSTIDIATA EXPERIMENT * 9
    #11889954 - 01/24/10 09:00 AM (14 years, 7 days ago)

Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata is sometimes found growing from logs.

I want to work out if it is possible to grow Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata
from solid wood logs. I watered a little solid block of wood for
several weeks and placed then some rye berries spawn
on the top of the block.

After only two weeks the mycelium apparently permeated the
wood and showed up on the other end of the block, long before
the surface is colonized. Apparently the mycelium grows much
faster inside of the block than on the surface. The wood block
originates from a Salix alba tree.

Maybe someday we will be able to grow Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata
on logs of solid wood; like Shiitake.

Excellent work :smile:.

I wonder why it prefers the inner part of the block? Maybe the light?

I'll be following this :smile:, I can smell the success!

Well, it looks very interesting!

It seems like it has got lots of food there to feed on,although i do not know how nutricious for it it would be.In further experiment this could propably be remedied by dunking a semicolonised block in a solution with some nutrients (at least a thin layer of liquid on the bottom and let capillary action take over), i was thinking dilute coffe ,or even weak kelp meal/seaweed solution.

Hmmm, how do you plan on keeping it moist? I wonder if it will fruit.All in all very interesting ,keep us informed

P.S. How big is the block?

nightflyer,

i would suggest transferring grain to wood dowels and use those to inoculate the wood log.

that might help with colonization time. and also it be much like a shiitake log.

just some food for though.

peace,

drj

Thanks for the advices!
Yes I will use wood dowels in the future for inoculating logs.

This is just a first try.

The block (12cmx8cmx8cm) lies on the bottom of a plastic tub.
The bottom of the tub is covered with wet newspaper.
The relative air humidity in the tub is 100%.
I soaked the block for several weeks in water and I have
added nitrogen, potassium and magnesium salts to the water.

I gotta say, 2 weeks to eat through a solid wooden block doesn't sound too bad to me. :cool:

Nice project Nightflyer, thanks for sharing.

Excellent work! Very impressive photos two. Look at how rhizomorphic that mycelium is. Great experiment nightflyer, I look forward to seeing how it progresses.

Yea it is a rapid colonizer.

It would be cool to compare the speed of all the fast wood de-composers!

haha have a mycological race!!

so salix, thats a willow right? i am using weeping wilow chunks for my cyans and its working good too.

and thats straight colonized rye to a block of wood, now its just watered? or submerged in boiling water? or just cold water?
because i may have some rye colonizing very soon and i am wondering about transfering the grain to wood chips.
should i transfer to sterilized supplemented saw dust/chips or straight to say just pasturized wood chips? are ovoids that aggrressive that i can avoid the sup. sawdust part?

btw that block is still blowing my mind today!:wink:

Yes it's willow. The block was submerged in cold water for several weeks.

Don't transfer the cololonized rye grain spawn directly to wood chips!  Contamination!!!

Transfer some spawn to wet corrugated cardboard and when the cardboard
is colonized remove the grains and cover the cardboard
with (water saturated) wood chips.

hmmm grain to cardboard eh? is this common practice for most woodlover grain transfers or just good for the ovoids ? wierd because i never got any stuntzii stem butts to regrow on cardboard,and ovoids are in the stunzae family.

i was under the immpression i would be sterilzing some sawdust/chips in bags and transfer to that. 
thank you so much for that.

didnt you put rye directly on this block though?

Yes, grain transfer to cardboard and then to wood chips works
best for all woodlovers. But remove the grains from the colonized
cardboard before you cover it with wood chips.

Psilocybe stuntzii is a special case.
99% of the spore prints and cultures available originate from the grassland variety
of Psilocybe stuntzii. The grassland variety of Psilocybe stuntzii is not really a
woodlover Psilocybe. The appearance of the mycelium and the growth parameters
are closer to Psilocybe semilanceata than to any woodlover Psilocybe.


If you mix grains with woodchips you take a big risk that your culture will contaminate
and if you create an outdoor patch using grain spawn, squirrels and mice
will find the grains and devastate your patch.

Yes I put the rye directly on the block, but that block is very clean.
All soluble sugars (food for the molds) are washed out.

ya you know what, you are exactly right. the ones i tried were these:

found in a horse field this year. i hear people all the time say that var tenius is obsolete and wood stuntzii and grass stuntzii are exactly same besides habitat,which i think is important. but there is some  other differences i think.
but ya the grass ones wouldnt take to the cardboard. i will try some wood lovers next year.

you did put the rye directly on the block,thats why its an experiment eh.:wink:
any new updated pics?

It's an experiment because no woodlover Psilocybe is known so far,
able to permeate solid wood (logs); like Shiitake.
Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata is the most promising species
because it grows sometimes on logs.

I will take some new pics tomorrow.
