more hardy? azure or cyan??or subaeruginosa? EDIT
    #12128823 - 03/02/10 04:16 PM (14 years, 2 months ago)

im wondering if anyone has experience with either of these. i know azures are said to yield a bit more. but i am pushing the limits of where this will grow, so i am curious which is more hardy? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated aswell.

I haven't grown azures, but cyans are pretty finicky.

You should read this thread; Wisconsin Azure Grow.

If he can get azures to grow in Wisconsin's cold climate, you should have a chance.

good news! im thinking it wont be a problem to get any of those to go. just might not return the next year if i dont insulate!

anyone know about subaeruginosa? i know it needs more pine, but the more i read the more these all seem pretty much the same deal. i have easier access to subaeruginosa and cyan so thats what will likely happen.
and from what i gather they are all pretty well same potency and grow in same conditions. I was thinking about subaeruginosa just to see if it works but now it seems more of a hassle to get pine instead of just normal alder wood chips like for the cyan.

Thanks!

I've had azures fruit outside in Northern Michigan. The patch has survived 3 winters now.

I've had a cyan patch that doesn't seem to die, but still doesn't fruit.

I've had some experience with cyans and azures in Canada. From
my experience success/failure has a more to do with when these
species fruit rather than just whether they can survive the winter.
I'm in zone 5 and have found both to tolerate the winter with
even fairly minimal protection...a good layer of straw...but the
problem is the "window of opportunity" for fruiting. If the weather is
good, lots of rain and coolish temps in september cyans will fruit
(as early as mid sept.) but azures seem to be a little later and
if it gets past end of Oct. you get hard freezes and it's all
over before they really get started. It's kind of a "catch 22",
the azures like the colder temps for fruiting but by the time the
temps are good, there's not enough time left to get a good flush.
If I was choosing which to grow in a zone 5 or lower, I'd go with
cyans.

Psilocybe cyanescens conquered the world on its own. Azures remained confined to a small area.

I would go with Cyans.

Psilocybe cyanescens is more hardy than P azurescens.  Azures grow along the coastline where it rarely freezes.  Cyans range further inland and are often covered by snow in the winter in Seattle and suburbs.

now i have p cyan. jamaica domesticate, how much of a difference do you think this would make for fruiting in a back yard in Oregon (lane county)

i'm planning on using my neighbor's compost, and i'll post some pictures

In regard to Rolly's comments, one wonders if some kind of coldframe or small hoop house placed over the bed at fruiting time, and more specifically, towards the latter part of fruiting time, might not extend the season?  Temps would still be cool, but perhaps remain above freezing that way.

Just a thought.  BTW, a friend wanted to create just such an outdoor bed for P. cyanescens in a cold climate many decades ago.  One attempt was made, but failed in the earlier agar and grain stages.  This friend is now contemplating this again.  Zone 4/5.  They know this is zone-pushing, but given some comments here, does not seem outright undoable.  What think ye?

Appreciate the suggestion dip. I guess I'd been trying to keep things as
simple as possible but I think you're right, some sort of late fall
protection would really help. I'm hoping to have a greenhouse in the
near future so may give the azures another try but once you start covering, the question of rain getting to the patch comes up and
gets more and more complicated.

I've certainly seen azures grown in zone 4 or lower but probably
not without being able to move it indoors for part of the winter,
(a friend in Thunder Bay, northern Ontario would back that up).
It seems to me that getting the patch to survive some really
low temps is less of a problem than getting them them to go through
their their fruiting process in the time and conditions allowed
in more northern, colder areas.

I would say because anything in the cultivation forum that isn't
about cubensis is pretty well overwhelmed? Where would you post it?
