Growing Cyans?

Hello,
A couple of years ago I was fortunate enough to find, pick and sample some cyans, they were awesome. I'm hoping to get back to that spot this year and pick some more. Additionally, I have wanted for quite a few years now to start my own outdoor cyan grow given the opportunity. I currently live in a top floor flat so it doesn't look like I'm going to have a garden full any time soon, but I could maybe preserve some spores for when I do have a garden. How would people recommend I do that; just the usual method of taking and keeping spore prints / syringes?
Also, I understand it is feasible to grow cyans in a plant pot maybe? I have a large window ledge / balcony so I'm thinking that might be an option. Any good techs on small scale outdoor cyan grows?

Completely doable! Keep spore prints and swipe them on agar, once you get a clean culture drop a wedge on grains or sterilized woodchips. Then spawn to a pot of some kind with more woodchips etc.

Cool, cheers Mr Fox. I'll take a look at those tecs when I get a chance. I guess since it is autumn at the moment I wouldn't see the fruits of my labours till this time next year, although that would'nt bother me too much. I can just do an indoor cubensis grow in between if I feel the need

Ok I've looked at the links above, bozko's looked good but not really detailed enough instructions in that one, I would be up for following Keeno's tec but he didn't seem to be working with Cyans there. Would that tec work for Cyans? Also, would it matter what time of year I started all of this? If that isn't a dumb question I take it that no matter when I started it, I'd only be getting cyan fruits come October /November time.

They're isn't many woodlover teks because it's pretty self explanatory.
But definitely you could apply keenos tek to any woodlover.

I found a cyan patch 2 weeks ago and immediately began preparing for an outdoor bed. I chucked a few stem butts and whole mushrooms outside in Douglas fir wood chips. They immediately started colonizing. If you want minimal effort it seems to work just fine. If you want to do it proper you should make spawn and put it outside. Too much effort for me...I can't believe how easy it is to transfer a fresh mushroom into a pile of wood chips and have it spawn.
If you want to spawn indoors you have to sterilize everything. Outdoors the mycelium thrives

You could use one of these teks to do a planter box or two on you're outdoor patio. Several people have been including pics of thier planters with woodlover. Me included. https://files.shroomery.org/files/16-39/537209729-20160929_182321.jpg These are azurescens, strawberries really seem to provide a great microclimate and they are tasty.
Or you could just produce spawn on your patio to place in chip beds around town. https://files.shroomery.org/files/16-41/643202849-20161014_004530.jpg I posted about how i did these in a different post. Basically all i did was soak some wood chips and then place 3 colonized pasty plates in there. Then i poked some holes in the bottom of the bag for drainage. Partially close the top and mist every few days. Pasty plates were done with spore from wild prints.
