Peach woods chips for Ps subaerugenosa?
    #21741827 - 05/30/15 05:08 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

I have a peach tree that is about to go into the wood chipper.
Can anyone here enlighten me as to whether this will be a suitable substrate for Psilocybe subaerugenosa? I figure that they are not that fussy in terms of what they will grow on as long as it's not too resinous. However, given the fact that this is my third season attempting to establish a domestic bed, which has been only very marginally successful thus far, I don't want to waste the small amount of stem butt mycelium that I have on unsuitable wood types.
Other possibilities that are available to me (without resorting to roaming the streets at night with a pruning saw) are Pohutukawa, Feijoa, Griselinia (Puka), or Karaka.

I would imagine peach would do just fine.

I'm sure it would do great. All the cyanescens complex species chow down on any deciduous wood. I wish I had access to a wood chipper :cool:

I've got some subaeruginosa on agar right now. I was going to inoculate alder chips with grain spawn. I have no idea what they grow on in Australia but their American cousins love alder.

Thanks guys. It turns out that this is more of a shredder than chipper, in that it makes fine (small) chips, rather than the larger ones I was hoping for.
So I might have to do a bit of manual work with the lopping shears to get a good range of sizes.
+ the bloody thing's jammed and so I'll probably spend the rest of the day dismantling and reassembling it! At least I got through half the tree.
Also I must confess that my main motivation for using it was to "come to an agreement" with the neighbours who kept us awake till 3:30 am.

The smaller chips will colonize faster. Wood loving psilocybes in the US, especially P. cyanescens and P. allenii grow like crazy in hardwood mulch, and it sounds like you just scored a shit ton of hardwood mulch :super:

That species prefers partially aged wood from Pinus radiata.

Well damn. I never imagined a psilocybe would like conifer wood. I've only barely started it on agar and I had just planned to grow it on hardwood. I guess I have some more research to do. I hadn't planned on doing it this year though, this year's project is allenii. Next year will be azurescens and subaeruginosa.

Wait a minute. Pinus radiata is native to central California. You must have been talking about allenii.

I've seen subs grow on a crazy amount of different substrates and chips, they really aren't too picky. It also sounds like you scored with the shredded chips they will colonize easier, faster and be easier to spread to more areas.

Always try a small sample batch though to make sure the mycelium takes to it. Only thing you've got to lose then is a small container and win a small container you can now spread to more knowing that it's a good wood.

Good luck man!

Yeah I wish the OP good luck as well. My current plan for the subs is to colonize several 5 gallon buckets of wood over the winter to spawn to a bed next spring. This summer I'm just trying for some allenii in my container beds.

Once I get some nice, aggressive, uniform growth with my subs, it's going on a slant until the fall.

I'll try it with a small amount - it turned out that the cam on the motor is split and the holding bolt for the blade stripped at the end - so no more wood chips until I get it repaired. But I have  ~ 1 cu. foot or more, which will hopefully be enough for starters. Thanks all for your input.
