PH (acidity) ranges for cultivation?
    #22280312 - 09/23/15 07:32 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Just curious, i know PH levels play a huge roll in plants and fungi in the wild, but if one could increase/decrease PH of a substrate under controlled environment how would that affect the mycelium?  slowing it down/killing it to speeding it up/boosting it. Or is it just a sweet spot for most psilocybes at a ph of 5-8?

For example:  Amanita Muscaria tends to be mycorrhizal with certain tree root systems, but those trees also thrive in acidic soil...such as pines. I wonder does the PH play that big of a roll in mycelial growth, or is it just the root system that it depends on?

Most of us don't mess with the PH. In substrate too much. In casing layers we throw in a little lime like if its peat based and most of us use gypsum, which I think keeps PH. From really swinging in each direction but I'm not really certain

A good way to test it out would be adjusted pH agar with the same nutrition. Idk of any test for ideal growth pH for cubes being done by anyone compelling

Not directly relevant to Psilocybe but it gives you an idea of the kind of effect substrate pH can have.
