I can't wait to see A LOT of the things that have been discussed in this thread. Fall '11 is gonna be epic!
Cheezoholic had some questions here that eventually led to an LC that I wanted to share with everyone.
This is the thread where he got the method. Basically, using the liquid from the wood chip soak instead of straight water for any LC's we plan on making. I think it's pretty awesome!
vibes to you all!

I did touch on this way back in this thread but it never seemed to get picked up on. Waylitjim's woodlover methods are amongst the best and it makes sense to use hardwood soak water as it will contain lurvly nutrients that the myc would appreciate (more than contams too)!
They certainly have woodlover methods down over at Mycotopia!

I'm getting close to posting some results But I don't wanna post anything untill I get some fruits. I'm hoping for this fall to yeild results. I did make a few more beds outdoors about a week ago, and they are doing great so far. I'd post some pics, but I just lost my camera up snowboarding yesterday 
I've also been toying with using the water left from soaking woodchips. It's hard to gather anything substantial as to the benefits/downfalls. I my experiences, I don't really trust microwaves. I'll stick to my good ole PC.

What's the opinion on this: I heard you can take the stem off a shroom and blend it (in a blender) of distilled water and then use it as an inoculate (if used right away)...If you put that in a super soaker(maybe with a few cc of corn syrup to provide some nutrients in transit and/or as a starting food) would it work. Because that sounds piss easy for people with less experience but do happen to cave some wet cubes?
-------------------- You paint a picture and each small feature contains to your mind another painting just as large trying to expand free. Each its own full painting of unique inspiration&style. You look closer and it is made up of just as unique and wide span of sub-features bursting with potential to become paintings themselves. The brain has this potential but also has constant surpression so that you can concentrate. But with such scope of creation how can any rigid morality produce a fair and unchained future. Religion will dissipate with time, rejoice in entropy

Sounds like The Woodlover Smoothie Tek might be something you are interested in. There's also a post from GK early in this thread about SuperSoaking woodchip beds.
hope this is what you had in mind

No expert here... But i dont see a whole Mushroom stem as viable alone, but if there were spores on it, might be something... Now, have started the stem butt on cardboard and coffee filters.... So perhaps if you had pulled up the mushrooms and used the stem butts???
Would think a good spore print would be better for spraying...
Just my thoughts

I'm really sorry if this is the wrong place to be asking but I figured I'd have a good chance here of getting some informed answers,
I have a specimen of Psilocybe Cyanescens growing on alder chips indoors at 78F in a non-sterile ventilated enclosure. Does this white material growing on the wood in the image look like a contaminate to anyone? That is does it look like it is not the mycelia belonging to Cyanescens? Because it looks that way to me, but I am not what one may call a seasoned hobbyist.

I had this goin' only took a month or 2...
but one day I decided to put fresh chips on top and snap down the lid and in a couple weeks the container smelled similar to human feces and all the myc was gone. no apparent contaminates. I feel like ive had no luck since then. but oh well.

Yea, the white in the first pics you posted doesn't look like cyan mycelium to me, but it might be some that just isn't rhizomorphic. I have this happen when I first start spores on agar that is too rich in nutrients. Sorry to hear about the tub that went bad I always keep the chips I have in tubs outside. Helps keep contams down with all the fresh air, but woodlovers seem happier in general outside. I'll send some vibes your way. Best of luck.

On further reflection, I'm thinking that 78F may be a bit too warm. I'm actually having mycelium reduction it looks like in stead of growth. So anyways I turned the temperature down to about 73-75 and added a bit of healthy myc from a small but healthy patch outdoors. I know it seems silly even to be fostering them indoors but I'd like to try to keep a culture in possession for purposes of making spawn for outdoor beds and also just so I have some purty white mycelium to look at every here and there.

I agree.. This fall is going to be epic.... Mushroom saving the world!
Going to say, in going around town, I notice the city has been using chipped up wood for mulch .... all over... Trees, parks, pathways, etc.... Wish I would have saved more spores... Would love to hit up even more spots... Ended up with some 45 spreads locations with close to 100 spots sprayed... Even at 10% efficiency, and spontaneous starts, means many new patches...
Peace!

I'm with ya harry. I've noticed the wood chips as well. All over parks, flower gardens, and just random spots. A few churches by my house just cut down tons of maple and are using it for some huge, new flower beds. Looks like it's time to use my last 1L of cyanofibrillosa LC this week. What city you in Harry?
On the note of temps, I've found that keeping your spawn at about 55°F-65°F is best. Sometimes keeping chips inside is the better option if temps outside are low, but if the outdoor temps are above 40°F at night, I would move it outside. The fresh air does wonders. Fresh chips are best for transfers, with no need to soak in water. And moonchild, cover that spot of mycelium with chips. When I make tubs of chips, I just keep putting layers on top when I even see any mycelium. Makes things go faster, and seems more contam resistant when the mycelium isn't exposed.

It might be a little late for starting spawn, but here's some azures on WBS after a few clean-ups on agar. The 1st pic is a couple weeks old, and the other two are only a few days old 

 woodlover VIBES to all of you!

Thanks for the advice, I have open ventilation so they should be less moist by now and I'll ease up a little on the misting.
