Mulch matters

I'm doing a stem butt tek and I've found a good potential outdoor location to plant to, but the woodchip that's there is about 1 part wood chip to 10 parts bark chip; I think it's from pine, see the picture. Will psilocybe cyanescens take to this?

I thought pine was anti-fungi.

Let me ask this another way - is there a preferred substrate for psilocybe cyanescens, and how much difference does it make?

Yes, Google "cyanescens woodchips" and you will find that cyans prefer hardwood chips: alder, beech, oak etc. They do not take to bark or pine. Douglas fir is the only exception to trees that produce a lot of resin. I'd say you would have 0.1% chance at success with a pine + bark substrate.

Thanks. I have another location in mind where there is this type of wood chip:

Is there any way to know what type of wood this is? Or does someone recognise it?

Pine and most woods other then cedar are ok but pine needs to be aged first but is far from ideal...bark is not what you are after either so keep looking.

  It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn I'm tired do me a favor

Ah yes, I often get pine and cedar mixed up. I haven't found any cyans on pine or cedar. Unfortunately, here in SF the parks department is dropping cedar everywhere.

How long should you age pine?

I have read that it should look grey-ish. Usually after a year of rains leeching out the resins.

looks like chunks of rotten lumber, so probably douglas fir or some other pine would be my guess
