Ps. cyanescens outdoor bed (pics)
    #14263406 - 04/09/11 03:06 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I grew out some Psilocybe cyanescens spores from a wild (US) print on agar, which I then turned into an LC.  I inoculated a couple of rye grain jars with that, and when they were colonized, I boiled/soaked some alder chips and mixed the grain and wood together into a pair of spawn bags.  They colonized pretty quickly, and they've been ready to go for a little while now.

I picked an old wheelbarrow in my garden (it has been used for growing other things before) for my outdoor Ps. cyan patch.

It was pretty overgrown with weeds.


I also weeded a lot of other stuff in the garden :smile:.  Today was garden "spring cleaning" day.

Here are the spawn bags.  When I cut the tops off, they had a great mushroom smell.


I crumbled the first bag, and spread over some boiled/soaked hardwood chips that I found in a local forest


Crumbled the second bag, and added more chips


Then I covered it with 1-2" of 50:50 compost:peat from the store, and added back some of the 'natural' soil that I'd removed from the wheelbarrow


Then I sprinkled a little bit of rye grass seed on top, sprinkled some water on the whole thing, then dusted a bit more soil on top


I'll add more in a few months, if anything happens :grin:

They'll get a little bit of direct sunlight in the morning, and then they'll be shaded for the rest of the day.  There's some vine overhanging the wheelbarrow.

I saw a few undigested rye kernels.  Hopefully the fact that they're buried will help deter rodents, as will the fact that our garden mice get fed regulary.  I like them, and they keep our cat entertained.  I put out the rye from any failed jars, or else I leave plates of seeds out for them.  Keeps them out of the house. :thumbup:

I challenge you to challenge yourself more! When you feel complacent and ready to hang it up, challenge yourself to get over it! If you fail, don't look at it as you didn't succeed, look at it as you would a rock face you're trying to climb. Stand back, wayyyy back, and look at it and plot another path. If you can't find one, shuffle down the way a little, a little change of scenery or a view from a different angle may give you the insight you need.

I dunno, can't really see much underneath the topsoil!

I've had a minor amount of digging, by birds I think, looking for worms.  So far it's been relatively unmolested.  As I said, there are much easier food sources around my garden (rye grain) from various failed projects, so I think the rodents are leaving it alone.

I dunno really, maybe an hour?  It's not textbook procedure I guess, as it's neither pasteurization nor sterilization (not much point in sterilizing something you're going to put outside).  I just boiled to fast-track the soaking stage.  My partner gives me sideways looks when I leave large pots full of unusual substances lying around the kitchen. :lol:

  Consider placing a sheet of plastic with slashes in it over your bed?  That ought to raise CO2 levels, keep humidity up, as well as, discourage vermin from invading your bed.


  It's a good thing you colonized woodchips with the grain spawn before putting the culture outside.  Otherwise, you'd have a much larger problem with vermin trying to get at the colonized grain spawn for a quick and easy meal. 


  Good move on placing varying, easier to access, food sources for vermin around the area where your bed is.  Had to do something similar when I had mice invading my spawn room, destroying perfectly good spawn bags.

I'M UP IN YOUR OUTDOOR BEDZ, EATIN' YOUR WUD!

I found some mushrooms in my outdoor Ps. cyanescens bed.  Not cyans (obviously -- wrong time of year).

I'm not sure how to feel about it though, as I've never seen any kind of mushrooms growing in my garden.


Hmm.  What are these, some kind of coprinus?

This is such a sweet project mate, good luck!

Yeah they look like coprinus atramentaria (common ink caps).  Hope those cyans aren't bothered with a bit of company :smile:

Thanks man.  In principle, I don't object to any mushrooms growing, but I guess I'm not so thrilled if they're stealing the wood/nutes from my cyans.  No mushrooms ever grew in this spot before, so I hope these just hitched a ride on the wood chips I gathered from the forest.

They shouldn't be a huge problem, as galerina and cyans share wood....dirty whores....

Weather probably isn't right on the cyans yet either, but it's cool you've got something growing, you've met the biological needs of at least one specie of mushroom.

Yeah suppose it's a good sign that mushrooms like the spot, you just wouldn't want them taking over! Sure all is okay though, you gonna take steps to eradicate / slow their progress or keeping everything au natural?
