noob with 5 azurescens pf tek jars what to do?

So as a noob I didn't know there was difference in mushroom species and got a azurescens spore print a while back,I inoculated 3 pf tek jars that are bout 70% along now and 2 more that are just getting started.
my questions are- what should i do with them now? I'm not in a spot to make a outdoor bed so I'm trying to figure out what to do with these when they get fully colonized and consolidated?
I read they don't fruit easy indoor and I have searched around a bit and i think if i could make some sort of mono tub for my mini fridge it might work? I have a large bag of alder wood chips and about 6lb of rye berries and 10 filter patch autoclave bags do i need some other form of nute source?
can i make a LC from the cakes and inoc some rye berry for bulk substrate?
It sucks because after reading and learning about mushrooms I'm stoked,excited,bummed and way nervous at the same time about these jars of azurescens.

You can make a myc syringe from the cake, I would not bother with azurescens unless I wanted to do them outdoors.
Try some Pan cyans indoors they are easy.
You could try them indoors but that will be a very difficult road

Well then for sure try them indoors, you never know
you will need to spawn the cakes to wood, and find a way to get the temps down. just don't expect big yields if any. but since you already have the cakes I would do something

I'm also spawning up some Psi. Azure but have yet to get a fridge and I think it's going to be ready before it cools down enough here (UK).
Let us all know how it goes and good luck!

i will keep you updated,still waiting for the 5 jars and bag of rye to colinize then i'll get going on it asap,found a woodchip/sawdust TEK i plan to give a whirl in some small casings in my mini fridge with a inline thermostat to keep the fridge at optimal temps.
so whats average timeline for azurescens to fully colinize? I ask because 3 of my 5 jars have been colinizing for about 3-4 weeks now and im startin to see some odd coloring coming with in the center kinda looks blue but i thought onlu cubes bruised?

this is one i found,
http://www.shroomery.org/10862/Noobies-Sawdust-Wood-Chip-Tek
its pretty strait forward and seems as simple as can be no?
im really excited to grow some of these,except i dont have a outdoor spot to throw em out and i dont wana put em outdoor cuz hippies will find em,had the thought of making a monotub type thing in an old toyota pick up bed i have cuz it will move with me then was thinking after i move i could then transfer the monotub/patch in the ground.

Check out this tek. You can spawn your pf jars to a laundry basket of woodchips. Then, spawn the wood chips to an out door patch. This tek is best suited for Psilocybe wood lover. Such as your Azurescens. Which, you would know. Had you read the links I provided you. HL

yeah i checked out that tek,i think i'll be going with that one once mt jars are colinized,
3 out of 5 are just about done and I have 2 more that are about 30% and 2 quarts of rye berries in a filtered bag that are slightly colinized so i still have a couple to few weeks before I bust out the alder woodchips,and i was gonna use verm in stead of sawdust just cuz I have a huge ass bag of it, what ya think?
id be down to kick prints to all who help a brother out on this project too.

With Azurescens as little as a 1:5 spawn to bulk ratio can be used. Sounds good. Verm will work. Sawdust would be better. HL

If there are a number of mills in your area that you believe you could score sawdust from, DO IT! "Hardwood" sawdust is the best. A number of edible mushrooms are wood loving and hardwood sawdust is their substrate of choice. HL
