Saving Private Cyan - Psilocybe Cyanescens 2013 * 2
    #18912652 - 09/30/13 07:03 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Psilocybe Cyanescens 2013

Just thought I'd share some shots of the first of the wavy-caps that are showing themselves in my beds. It's always nice when the come up just as the leaves are changing and everything is wet and fall-like.

The way I do beds in the beginning is to build my spawn over the winter with first starting them on grain , then sawdust and then on to small woodchips of a known origin (I chip them myself). Alder is my favorite , but have also used Birch , Maple, Willow and others. This I let colonize all winter at room temperature.

In the spring I make beds in shallow depressions in wooded areas (mostly on the edges of woods. I lay cardboard down and soak it. Then I add a layer of sawdust , sprinkle colonized woodchip spawn, a layer of soaked woodchips, a sprinkle of colonized chips , sawdust , a thin layer of potting soil etc etc , in a layered lasagna until the last layer of sawdust gets a final layer of potting soil and then a chopped straw mulch on top that lasts the summer.

Once you have your first bed up and running its simple to make more beds... all you need to do is make a bed using the layering technique , but without colonized chip spawn. For that you just dig out handfuls of colonized chips from your mother-bed and place them around your new beds. They take off really quickly, first on the sawdust and then onto the various sized chips (good to have from small to large).

The beds last for about 3 years depending on how thick you layer them , but you can also top-dress with fresh chips at any point in the spring or later fall (after harvest).

I'd recommend Psilocybe Cyanscens to anyone with patience and a love for incredibly potent , photogenic mushrooms. They are a real labor of love , but well worth it.

And now the pics ...





















I love the raindrop Cyan shots ...

Such a beautiful mushroom.  I think I'm going to try to do P. Allenii or P. Cyan outdoors in Florida this fall/winter this year or next.

w0w, I have never read such a succinct, beautiful post about making bed-to-bed transfers. Inspiring; will be doing similar when I make my way to a more temperate climate!

Also, thread title had my yelling it into the ether in joy. :thumbup:

Woodlover Steps

Get spores
Start spores on agar or grain
Make mycelium syringes, GLC and expand grain or G2G
Inoculate pasteurized sawdust (for indoors), colonize
Soak woodchips, pasteurize, spawn with sawdust in tubs
Colonize at room temperature

You can start these tubs in the winter so you can make beds in the spring as described above. You can add things like shredded straw, Hemp stalk, Knotweed chips etc, basically any plant cellulose can be added into the beds of woodchip/sawdust/potting soil described.

If you add lots of Cyanescens spawn in the beds evenly, and you water during dry periods, your woodlover bed should fruit later the same fall as you make it.

A different way to tackle woodies is to start tubs of chips in late spring and let them colonize throughout the summer and then set the tubs outside to fruit in September, in a greenhouse, in tall grass etc.

Either way you grow them, they will start fruiting in September and continue until the snow flies. Around here they often fruit from early September until December. The come in "waves" more so than flushes, its pretty continuous ,and when you harvest a whack, there's tons of others already coming up. It never seems to rest during fruiting period, so long as there is food in the bed.

Every fall after the last of the fruits, I like to add materials and expand all my beds by doubling their size. I just plop handfuls of colonized chips all around the new expanded areas. By the time spring arrives the mycelium has really expanded inside the bed.

The Cyan patch keeps coming on in continuous waves ... as it does.



Look at these beauties , whoops , those are not P.Cyans even though they are right beside the other fruiting specimins ... no white stems with bluing. Always have to be careful.



Also in the P. Cyan bed was a species very similar to panaeolus , complete with purple sporelation...


Thanks in advance if anyone an tell me if that's Panaeolus...

There they are ...



They go from white , to blue , to black:



They call them wavy caps:



Cyans like to hide in the fringe of a bed ... (see the goodluck shamrocks there ?)



It goes on.

The panaeolus looking mushroom does have strong characteristics of a pan cyan. Stay weary until you get confirmation. Have you ever seen pans grow out there before?

Beautiful pictures. :thumbup:
