Im currently colonizing a batch of azures. They are from a wild Oregon strain. I was hesitant to use PF tek in 1/2 pint jars, but i found a great guide to follow:

http://www.shroomery.org/8673/Erics-Guide-To-Cultivating-Psilocybe-Azurescens-Cyanescens

I didnt follow this exactly, but it is a good baseline for Azures. They colonize well at 70-75 degrees in the jars. I have noticed that they are much faster growing than cubensis, and more hearty than most strains. They LOVE alder wood sawdust/chips. I used alder wood sawdust and organic wheat bran substrate for my jars(3 parts alder to 1 part wheat bran).

Once colonized i placed a 1/4 inch 50/50 casing layer on the bottom of the tray, sliced the cakes about an inch thick, and put an inch layer of mixed alder 30% sawdust 70% chips (boiled for 15 min and soaked for several hours then strained) on top and covered unit i saw mycelium growing throughout the fresh wood (about 3 or 4 days). I then cased it with 2 inches of unsterilized/pasteurized forest floor (70% topsoil and the rest pine needles, leaves, and bark).

Because they are wild, cold is required to get them to fruit. I used a small fruiting chamber with 3 inches of perlite, and placed them outside for the daylight hours (currently mid 40-50 degree F range and 12 hours of light). They have been fruiting like crazy. Im on flush 3 now. They are truely my favorite critters.

The Pan Cyans are alot more delicate. I used a cow manure/verm/brf substrate. It seems to be working, but it is taking awhile. It has been about a month, and they havent fully colonized the jars yet. I used a modified dung PF tek to get going:

I highly recommend the Azures! Ill get some pics up soon...

Good point RR. I live in the Pac NW, which is home to these critters, so i can lean on favorable climates outside to help me. Cyans prefer tropical climates, so the better you can simulate that, the more success you will have.

A little hard to tell by the pic, but yeah they do look like Azures. You will need to post some more info to be sure...
