I have experience in growing Cubensis so I don't know much about wood-lovers. I'm thinking of using this method: http://www.shroomery.org/8673/Erics-Guide-To-Cultivating-Psilocybe-Azurescens-Cyanescens

And I am probably going to use a mini-fridge to fruit them in at 50 degrees because I can't wait until winter to do it outside. I'll be mixing my 1/2 pint jars with 3/4 hardwood sawdust and 1/4 wheat bran (or brown rice flour.) After inoculation and colonization of the jars, I will be using a rather deep plastic tub. I will then soak a piece of corrugated cardboard in water that will fit almost completely in the tub. I'll then crush up my substrate and place it into the bottom of the tub and place the corrugated cardboard over the substrate and cover the plastic tub loosely with plastic wrap. After the substrate is colonized I will be placing alder chips to cover the cardboard about 2 inches in height. After the alder chips are colonized with mycelium I will proceed with the fruiting process. I will be placing the tub into a mini-fridge and setting the temperature to about 50 degrees(as close as I can get to 50 anyways.) I'm not sure if they need any sunlight or not but I'll take them out to give them an hour of light each day just in case. If somebody could inform me if they need sunlight or not, that would be great! I will use a spray bottle to mist them with distilled water each day to keep the substrate damp.
And hopefully, I will see some shroomies poppin' out in a few weeks!

Is this a good process to go about doing this? How well will it work? Do I need to take them out of the mini-fridge to give them any sunlight during the day or does it matter? As I have no experience with cyanescens. Thanks guys!




Check out my sig :wink:

I don't really know if it will, but I am attempting something along the lines. I have been trying to study up on them and am taking what I know and putting it to the test. I'll report back in a couple months with what I find out.


--------------------
It would be really nice for a change to see someone actually experiment and then report the results, rather than endless posts about 'will this work?' or 'will that work?' and then arguing about it. Just do it. If you really want to experiment, try something that hasn't already been tried a thousand times. Look in your kitchen, find something silly, and then grow mushrooms on it. It's fun.
