Transplanting Immature Mushrooms, Will They Continue to Grow?

If one were to uproot a whole immature psilocybe cyanescen specimen and replanted it elsewhere into a favorable habitat, would it be able to grow on into maturity?

Not likely. You would almost surely cause the mushroom to abort unless you were to take a destructively large amount of the substrate intact with it. Even then that would probably be quite a crap shoot. You can certainly carefully take a few colonized bits of chip and use them as spawn.

Probably not unless you got like 10 feet around it and 5 feet deep also

That might be a bit exaggerational, particularly in terms of depth, but indeed, when the mycellia of the colony are substantially damaged it seems to be inclined to halt fruiting and cause developing mushrooms to abort. This is not universal, but is fairly likely based on my experience.
I found a really impressive fruiting of cyanescens at a certain northern california university campus several years back. When I returned the next day the landscaping guy was shoveling it, chips and all into large yard waste bags. The fruiting seemed to end for the season, though it was back again the following year.

I don't think that'll work. To grow, the mushrooms have to remain connected to their mycelial network. On the other hand, I placed an ovoid in a wet paper towel in the fridge and it grew and matured a little bit.

I tend towards the exaggerational, so that is fair

I'm going to guess by a very little bit, and without gaining any mass. No?

Fuck yeah it works.

 I had to take about two handfuls of chips with it. 8"x 8" and 6" deep. It was a douchey thing to do and I probably wouldn't do it again. Chances are there won't be a second flush. So, I might as well have taken one wood chip and set myself up for next year. They took about a week and a half to mature. However, the bruising was minimal. I let them rot. I'll be home in a few days and I'll see then of they flush again. I doubt it though.

Meaning they were lackluster potency? Despite maturing you deemed them unfit to consume?

I let them rot because I figured it was good for the patch. I also had some successful hunts since, and felt it was pointless to harvest them just to store them.

I was trying to give you as much information as possible. Also, I think they weren't as potent because of the transplant. Edit: Also I think you're a dick.

Which I consider speculative, but it is a data point in any case.

Why's that? Because of wanting to know about transplanting?
