Psilocybe sp. KKL01 - Update 5.6.. -- matured 1
#14317732 - 04/19/11 02:19 PM (12 years, 9 months ago) |
|
|
For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, those prints came from an yet undescribed Indian Psilocybe sp., from a thread here.
Now that a few prints have been distributed, has anyone tried growing them? I have two small test jars colonizing right now, in terms of speed and look of mycelium, it seems pretty similar to cubensis. Spores germinated quickly and mycelium is spreading with decent speed at 27*C. I guess they'll be finished in a couple of days and I plan spawning one of the jars, and leave other for later. My substrate will most likely contain horse poo, coir, gypsum and some straw, those mushrooms were originally found fruiting from manured lawns. And I'll case them with a thin peat/perlite layer when they're done colonizing.
Anyway, I'm interested if anyone else is trying to grow them, so we can compare notes, stories and mistakes. This is a very interesting species and would be brilliant to see them cultivated indoors! Maybe even get it identified! I'll update after I spawn them to bulk.
EDIT: I know you guys like pictures, so here are two jar shots.

That's it for now.

I plan on making some agar tmrw and starting it up. What are you using in your test jar?

I used my regular wheat/millet mix, I like it a lot, much better than either grain individually. I had a leftover jar and just shot it up with spores, the print was obviously nice and clean. Good luck with your attempt esquaredx!

I got one of these too, but I'm gonna wait and continue practicing with agar a little while longer. My first attempt as gone really well though.

I've not yet been able to get any spores of any kind to grow out on agar. I've got no idea what I'm doing wrong. Nice start tho!

I've started to wonder if other people add drops of water to their prints to hydrate spores before transfering to agar or if they go right from print to agar. I do the latter.
I haven't researched this super hard, I decided to just do it. My z strain is working out really well with that method.

It is slightly watery, there's maybe a drop or two worth of water that settles on the surface of the agar from condensation. I've made a syringe as well and tried a drop or two that doesn't do anything. Does it need to be at a higher temp? I have a TiT I could put my petri dishes in next time I try if that would help.

I was aware of those finds but seemed to just miss out on the giveaways.
Personally intrigued by the woodlover found over there, if anyone can link me to works regarding that particular species I would be grateful.

I think this is what interests me the most about this hobby. I am just starting out right now so of course I wouldn't want to ruin a beautiful rarity, but I can't wait to journey down a path such as this. I think the idea of resurrecting old species, discovering what could be new ones, or falling upon an albino and cloning is just amazing. I took a look at the thread with this species your talking about and found it absolutely stunning. I wish you the best of luck and can't wait to see how it turns out. Soon I will be able to be a part of the marketplace and hopefully I can get involved in these adventures.

I suggest you guys try just making a syringe and noccing up a jar, ofcourse if your print is large and thick enough. As you can see, mine was perfectly clean, and those prints are fresh so germination isn't a problem. It's kind of a myth that you must use agar with wild prints. If the print is taken in a clean environment and isn't left in open air for days, you should get clean growth. And even if there is mold in there, and you put it on agar, it will germinate and grow much faster than the mushroom, before the spores even germinate the entire plate will be covered in nasties. Same goes for bacteria, it loves agar, but if you prepare your grains correctly, mycelium will almost always beat it. As far as KKL07 goes, I got a tiny thin print, so I'll have to use agar for that. Btw, pouring hot agar over the spores seems like a good method for making stubborn spores germinate.

Just a small update. The jar is almost colonized, still has a few tiny bare spots, but that will be done by tomorrow. I'll be spawning it in a day or two, I've decided to make a 50/30/20 (dry volume ratio) hpoo/straw/coir + gypsum mixture. I don't want to add any additives like coffee or worm castings for this grow, to reduce the chance of contamination. I also don't feel too confident putting straw in, but I feel it's an necessary risk. It's going beautifully so far, I really hope this grow produces at least a fruit or two.

I spawned it yesterday, now I'm praying to the mushroom gods to spare that tray from the mean green! I'll try to let it sit for at least a week without peeking, judging by the colonization rate thus far, it should be close to full colonization then. I left some grains for g2g, so even if this fails, I'm not giving up. I'll update this thread after casing. Thanks for looking!

So far so good! I looked at the tray today, and it's almost done. I'm going away for the weekend, so I'll case it monday or tuesday. Just a thin layer of peat/perlite, and then put it immediately in the FC. Also made two more jars with leftover spawn today. Btw, one interesting detail, the mycelium smells really weird. Something like cubensis fruit mixed with freshly cut grass. I guess I'm just used to the wonderful aroma of shiitake mycelium, but this one is really unique, like nothing I ever smelt before. I hope this species is as quick fruiter as it is colonizer! I must admit I'm really excited about this grow!

I finally cased it today, and it's in the fridge for a cold shock. I'll place it in the FC in a day or two. I think the cold shock might be beneficial to this species, since it grows in colder weather. I'll report if and when anything interesting happens!

The tray just spent it's first 24 hours in the FC. Standard shotgun with perlite, 6500K bulb above it, misting and fanning 3-5 times a day. Temperature is about 75*F. I have absolutely no idea what to expect of this species, in terms of pinning, growth etc. I don't even know what section it belongs in. Grassland and manure Psilocybes are usually one of the easier to get to fruit, but only time will tell.

Just keeping this thread up-to-date... Well, today I noticed something that can only be hyphal knots. I'm cautiously excited. It sat in the FC for two weeks not doing much, so I shoved in the fridge for another overnight cold shock. Day or two after that, tiny white bumps are showing on the surface! I now realize I made a mistake with shocking it immediately after casing, without allowing the mycelium to reach the surface. But no big deal, it just took a while longer. I'll report when I'm sure if those are becoming pins, or it's all false alarm. Btw, both my goliath and galindoi trays are doing great! Pans are leaving huge, thick black prints, but I can't seem to make galindoi drop any spores at all! Is there a trick, can somebody enlighten me please? Or do fruits from later flushes print better?

Hey Tangich,
I can report that I managed to get Galindoi prints, huge and dark:
 (those big ones are larger than a quarter)
This is the third flush:

So, it is clearly doable.
Like you, I did not get prints as easily with my first tub.
It is problematic....you want to wait until they are dropping spores...but then I also came home to find the surface of my sub, and the surrounding perlite, dark with spores too.
One thing that I did adjust that made things work much better was that I found a better balance with air flow in my printing vessel. A long time ago now I realized that caps need air to stay fresh and sporulating. I sealed a *gigantic* PE cap in the hopes that I might squeeze some spores out...and it turned jet black and sealed to the foil like a decal, without dropping any spores either.
I also have squat 1/2 pint jars with synthetic filter disks for lids to take print in, but this allowed the ATL7 caps to dry out way too fast.
I settled on a tupperware (in photo) container with a folder paper towel keeping the lid from fully closing.
This worked wonders.
Good luck! (and let me know if I can beat SHP to the trade thing! ;0)

Wow Javadog, those look awesome! Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely do it that way next time! I managed to get two prints, kinda small and light, but still, galindoi prints! Hopefully first of many to come. One thing I noticed with these, you really have to catch them at the right time. If you cut them too early they won't drop spores, but also if you leave them too long they won't give much, at least these first fruits don't seem to have much in them. As far as the trade thing goes, I'll be making a trade thread in the marketplace soon, probably week or so, when I have a couple galindoi prints, getting rid of some of my exotic prints and edible cultures. I'm not really looking for anything myco related at this time, especially prints. Also I'll send a dozen or so goliath prints to FSRE, so keep an eye out.

Substrate is a simple mix of horse manure and straw, with a tiny amount of coir added to suck up extra water. About 60/40 manure/straw, but I didn't really measure it. And gypsum of course. Pasteurized in jars in a pot. This mixture doesn't like to be over-pasteurized, with my next batch temps went to about 80*C for a few minutes, every single tray got bacteria and started smelling really bad really soon. Eventually molds took over I don't have pictures of the fruits yet, they're still just knots. If they start turning into pins, I'll post pictures immediately!

Good news everyone! Those were definitely knots, and are turning into pins now! There's only a couple atm, but more are popping up every day. They are still very small, but here are a few pictures anyway.

Also a couple of random pics Goliath

I'll update when they grow some more. Thanks for looking!

Thank you! Yes, goliaths stay pretty short, but some caps get to 2 inches in diameter! They also grow very fast and leave very thick prints. Extremely interesting variety! The KKL01 hasn't grown much in the last 12 hours, but I see a couple more pins popping up!

They're not growing very fast, but I'm not complaining. Temps are pretty constant around 80*F. Only around 5 pins in this 'flush', but the tray sat in the FC for 2 weeks, and probably lost a lot of moisture. I'll give it a dunk after these first ones mature (or not).

Thank you! Yes, this one pin looks like it could reach maturity, I really hope it does! And I must say, pins of this species are very pretty, and relatively large, cubensis sized kinda. This species could be a good candidate for domestication, but we'll see how it behaves later on.

Has anyone eaten any? If so, were they any good?
Awesome grow, Tangich! I love to see experiments and new things, on here.

The FC is a simple shotgun with perlite. I fan 3-6 times a day, spray once or twice, and thoroughly wet the perlite every couple of days. It works great that way.

Time for another update! They matured, gills are darkening, I'll probably harvest them and take prints in a few days. I don't know why the stipe is so bent, perhaps lighting's the cause, my bulb broke down and all they were getting was ambient light. Anyway, here are some pictures.
And some galindoi.

Enjoy!

Nice! Good job! When do you post the potency report?
I know it doesn't seem like an impressive amount of mushrooms, but for taking a wild species we know little about and being able to get something from it is pretty bad ass!

Thanks guys! Yeah, only 3 mushrooms for now, but a lot of new pins are starting to pop up! I think with some domestication this species could produce large flushes of beautiful mushrooms! This grow was just a blind shot anyway, I knew nothing about the species prior to this, other that it was found on a lawn in cold(er) weather. So I'm very happy with the results. Hell, I could be the first person to ever grow this species! Most likely not, but still... Unfortunately I doubt there will be a potency report from this grow, for one this probably isn't enough, and I don't really eat actives, but who knows...

Are you gonna attempt to clone one possibly? Those are a pretty mushroom. I attempted putting the print I got on agar and nothing happend, but that's normal for me
You could always have a buddy give them a shot, only don't tell them much about it so no placebo takes over. Once you harvest them can you post pictures of the bluing?

I don't think I'll clone them, I'm going away in less than 2 weeks and won't be around for the entire summer. But I think a few more spore generations are needed before cloning anyway. I'll take pictures of the bruising, certainly. I don't really hang around people who take psychedelics, and even if I gave them to someone, from what people tell me, a 'dose' around here is 1 - 1.5 g of cubensis. So if these were more potent, or even close to panaeolus, they could kick someone's ass!  Perhaps I'll make a sacrifice in the name of science! These are pretty bulky, so if they are more potent than cubensis could even be worth growing for consumation.

That would be awesome! Has anyone researched the species for sure? I wonder if it's a new specie all together or just a different variety of cube. I've still got the wood-lover variety of those finds, the kkl06 I believe.

Oh, it's certainly not a cubensis! It's a new species, it was suspected to be P. pseudoaztecorum, I think now it's safe to say it's not that, either. It's most likely an undescribed species. The KKL07 failed to germinate on agar for me, I didn't experiment with it after that.

Hey Tangich,
I took a look at the ATL7 photo and think that the caps might indicate that they are a tad dry. ...hydrophagous and all.
Anyway, they look beautiful. I got mad huge prints from ATL7. I hope that same for you.
