Psilocybe cyanescens outdoor Grow PNW * 35
    #23008066 - 03/15/16 12:00 AM (7 years, 10 months ago)

Got things going on agar, made several transfers to isolate healthy growth


Made several gallons of LC from potato water and Karo 4%, most of which will be cut with spring water and sprayed out of a super soaker directly onto fallen woody debris.


What LC I don't spray directly onto wet wood, I am using on a 90/10 mixture of sterilized WBS/maple and oak woodchips. here is a picture of some of the colonized jars. I have 6 gallons colonizing in the closet :laugh:


Bought five yards of woodchips from a local nursery, 50/50 blend of sugar maple and oak. Started spreading them around the yard. I completely underestimated the amount of labor it is to move a dump truck load of woodchips, but will be ordering another 5 yards later this week.


I bought a chipper last week for fun, I'm thinking the cyan mycelium will love this mulch made of dried blackberry bush stocks and alder branches. On another note, this chipper preps manure like no other!




I will be mixing the colonized grain/woodchips with the bulk woodchips throughout the month of March and April, will post more pictures as it colonizes, then fruits this fall. Would love some feedback as this is a first time outdoor grow from grain :smile:

Thanks for doing this! I've been wanting to do some controlled tests with slurry vs chip bag spawn. I have an ovoid that I may slurry but have had doubts due to heavy rains.




I may be wrong but the slurry you speak of, is this the salt water brown sugar mushroom spore mixture they mentioned in "Mycelium Running"? I have yet to try it but have heard great things, I'm  goofing around with liquid cultures and grain. I'll make sure and section off a couple areas for you guys to see if the spots hit with only LC from the super soaker fruit like the spots hit with colonized grain.
master cyan LC, looks pretty healthy to me!

I meant grain slurry. Sticking some colonized grains in a blender and dumping the contents in the woodchips.

I did the molasses fresh sporing shroom slurry from ggmm with cyans a few years back. Had 8 gallons of the stuff. I backpack sprayed it at a park near here. Not sure it worked as I haven't even checked. It was done the same season though so I'm not sure if that means they didn't.

Yesterday I was able to get a bit more work done, worked on another "planting" bed. I was able to do it in layers, maybe 3-4.5 inches thick.

Thick branches, mainly alder and maple

Did a nice layer of finer chips, blackberry bush stocks and alder

now adding mixed chips, some thick some smaller, sugar maple and oak

Now adding millet seeds and pecan chips for extra nutrition :wink:

got another 5 yards of woodchips delivered

spread 2.5 gallons of Mycelium.

Cut 1/2 gallon of LC with 2 gallons of water and sprayed all over piles of wood debris and woodchips. I don't really know what to expect with the LC but I think it's worth a shot :laugh:


Well, I feel like this is going to be a very good yield for my efforts come fall, but I could be wrong. Last cyan patch I made was minimal effort and I still ended up very happy.

Keep in mind, all of these planting beds were leveled out covering the colonized wbs/chips about 2-3 inches deep to protect it from drying out




Anyone else see the smiley face on the wbs grain below the woodchip? :laugh:


I feel like I'm laying the colonized stuff down pretty thick


hope they love their new home :smile:

I have a question on the topic of backyard habitats: I'm turning mine into a beach, and am wondering what kind of grasses and other plants should I be planting?...

I'm learning a lot about rodents. I'm starting to think I should purposely get hundreds of birds and mice/squirrels to spread the love!

Yea i'm thinking your not going to have to worry about Destruction. That size project, The Piped piper could come through with his rats and still not ruin that place.

Getting the gardening beds ready for spring, spent the majority of my day composting with a new method(to me) called "Drunken composting" that uses: 1 can of beer, 1 can of soda, and 8 ounces of ammonia for the nitrogen source, which can be seen here. From what I'm seeing it only takes 7-9 days to break down into something usable. Kinda experimenting, My compost has a bunch of woodchips mixed in with it, over 30%, going to see how the cyans likes it in couple weeks.




The darker of the two compost piles has only been breaking down for 48 hours and it's already noticeable :laugh:





I wanted to see how the cyan mycelium is doing where It was spread the thinnest, it seems to have grown about an inch thick which is a good start. I have the stuff about 2-3 inches deep to protect it from drying out, I hope that's not too deep to fruit this fall, I guess I'll have to wait and see.


Watered most of my patches, started covering them to protect them from drying out with this nice weather.

I started with mushroom tissue on agar then to oats and then a couple small totes of some soaked wood chips. Added those to some scotts mulch a couple weeks ago. Keeping a piece of card board on top and will see what we have in
november-december.I will have to water it like every two weeks.Maybe once a week when it gets hot.

yep, they take to that scotts red mulch.
After i have my quarts of oats colonized i soak a bucket of
the mulch for a couple days then drain for about 1/2 a day.
Then i mix about 1 quart of spawn to about roughly 5-6 quarts of mulch.
I put it in a plastic bag and just roll up the top and put on a shelf.
a month or so later its ready for a new outside bed of red mulch.

I did this to this little bed last year and after it was done fuiting
i put about a inch of red mulch over it and we will see what happens this next season.


hey nothingschanged, thats pretty cool you recall my bay area  thread.
I'm trying to keep this small patch going and starting another one but a little larger.

Got another 9 yards over the weekend, this time it's Douglas fir.
Will be spreading the remainder of my Cyan mycelium with this load, I'm starting to get tired of all this work lol :whiteflag:



18 gallon tote, maybe 10-11 gallons of colonized woodchips




Made this for fun :smile:

11 gallons give or take laid down today with alder, maple, oak, and dried blackberry stem chips

before covering them with chips



During

After




Took a few random core samples today, holy cow, I couldn't find one area that didn't have mycelium, I'm gonna have mushrooms growing outta my ass soon if I don't stop this :laugh:




Remember that compost pile? Looking good!!

I cant wait to see pics in the fall/winter of those large beds you guys are working. What a fun hobby, isn't it?

Im going to add my last bag(about 6 quarts)of colonized mulch  with some more scotts mulch(between 5-7 gallons) and start a new patch 2'x2' of  Psilocybe Cyanescens tomorrow. It might be a little late in the year to start it but i have one that i started a month ago. Hopefully we will see mushrooms in november.

I did it last year, so we will see what happens.
