Wild Grow Cycle of Psilocybe subaeruginosa (P. sub)
    #21689010 - 05/17/15 12:49 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Hi everyone, I can't find this information anywhere so sorry if it is in the wrong category.
I was wondering how long it usually takes for Psilocybe subaeruginosa to grow back (in the wild) after you pick from a patch, (I cut the stems).
Also does it have to rain in between picking?
Thanks in advanced :smile:

I find my local patches usually fruit either once or twice per season at a maximum (keep in mind this is in the South Island). If you have harvested most of the mushrooms at one time then the only way to be sure would be to check the patch after each new period of heavy rain. Occasionally you can get lucky and get a few more mushrooms in quite quick succession (weeks) but in my area it seems rare.

Mushrooms have to put effort into producing fruiting bodies and it can take some time for them to get the nutrients and energy to do this again. (NB: If your picking in Auckland it may be different to this though as it doesn't freeze and is a much wetter climate (better for fungi)).

Thanks for the information.
I live in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
I will check after the next heavy rain :smile:

most patches will fruit at least once or twice before their nutrients run out.  some larger patches can flush up to 4 time.

the mushrooms sporulate, and the spores then sit in the soil till conditions are right to germinate, the mycelium may even last between seasons in the right moist conditions but most patches dry out, and then moisture allows the spores to germinate next year.

how much a patch fruits depends on how many nutrients are realeased by other fungi and bacteria between seasons.  remembers its about the web of life and flow of nutrients.  they all help each other by breaking down what they can to get energy and then waiting for others to break down other substrates so that they can then break that down, and so the cycle continues.

take note of how a patch changes over a period of a few years, or more if possible.  its really quite fascinating.
