The Official Woodlovers Thread


(Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata)

Hey everyone

Its about that time of year when the woodlovers start to fruit and everyone wants to make a patch of their own.
Though Ive noticed woodlovers don't get very much attention around here, due to how long it takes for them to fruit.

Theres never a very good place to post woodlover grows/ growing questions so I've decided to make a thread dedicated to just that.

I encourage anyone and everyone to share your woodlover grows, anything from a brick of mycelium to a fully fruiting patch.
I will be posting all my woodlover grows here as well as any info I pick up along the way regarding specific species.

______________________________________________________________

Psilocybe Cyanescens
Spawned in May

Checked on this spot yesterday and it appears to have some really healthy growth.
I will be laying down a top layer of mulch if this patch decides not to fruit this season.


_________________________________________________________

Psilocybe Azurescens Spot 1
Spawned 12/21/16

I used a mix of soil and alder wood chips as well as ground cover strawberry.
I will get some more updated pictures up soon.


_________________________________________________________

Psilocybe Azurescens Spot 2
Spawned 9/29/17

I used a mix of soil, alder, apple, and cherry wood chips. I then planted ground cover strawberry and grass seed to make a microclimate for the fruits.
And now we play the waiting game.


_________________________________________________________

Psilocybe Ovoideocystidiata Spot 1
Spawned in November 2016

I will get some pictures up soon. We should be seeing fruit at this patch by spring.
This patch was spawned with a mix of soil and alder wood chips.
_________________________________________________________

Psilocybe Ovoideocystidiata Spot 2
Spawned in May 2017

This patch was spread by stem butts and colonized chips from another ovoid location.
I checked on it recently and the myc seems to have taken to the wood chips. Its possible we see fruit by next spring.

Subaeruginosa


Probably also Subaeruginosa


Some very lonely Azurescens


Cyanescens in a little container right by our front door, that nobody ever notices


Some more Cyanescens pins in the garden patch


Only in recent days did we have the first really cold nights. That's probably the main reason why there are so few Azurescens fruits this year.

It's not over until the fat lady sings though. It amazes me how many months on end Cyanescens mycelium can keep on fruiting.

Tada! Azure caps are opening :laugh:

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't on the edge of my seat the whole time! I see some excellent clone candidates, one has a stem bigger than some cubes I've seen. Caps are a little small but I made FAE mods literally today so oh well. Previous air stones (2x) only allowed for 1.6L/min of fae, per tub, so I'm guessing that's not enough. I just got new ones that do 5L/m of air so that's better I'd imagine. I also checked the humidity in the tub with the setup I have, we are over 90%!!! Fuck. Yes. I can go a whole day with no misting and the fruits looked perfect, which is the low maintainence solution I wanted.

I've been chiseling away at indoors for almost a year now, some stints here and there too. I have learned so much though the journey and the road ahead is still long, but I can't believe it's come this far, even as little as a few fruitings seem. You really do get close to the fungi learning what they like, stuff to look out for and such.

Much left to do, before I'd broadcast that its worthwhile for everyone and their dog to give it a shot I'll be making sure that it's reproducible over and over again. I'm tuning things along the way through trial and error.

Anyways, enough talkin', here's some pics

Here's some pics from the yard this morning!

Well, i think ive got enough ovoid to carry the whole family through till fall. Mystic, these also are in full sun, ive got a few other patches in the shade that haven't popped a single pin yet. Most of the chips are pondo pine and doug fir, but there is some older hardwood mixed in. The pics are from three different patches, one of the patches had agrocybe in it real heavy last spring, all patches have inky cap and psatherella growing in them too, so DO NOT be afraid when you see those things show up. Morel is also in the yard right now!

SubNZ, they can be finicky to drop spores, sometimes the same clone will drop thick prints overnight from one patch, and take days from another. Try varying the temp, can only zoom in the pics so much but some of those look fertile. I bet if you got a good look at them under the scope you'd see spores.
M460, Id look into pans, and subtropicalis. Attempting to grow woodlovers isn't really going to fix your contamination issue, and, im just going to come out and say it, cubes have always been a lot funner trip for me than any of the cyans, but can't say cubes have taken me to the same places. If im around people i always feel real awkward on the cyans. Id agree that ovoids are more enjoyable, but there's also been this tipping point with ovoid, almost like there's this fine threshold between having a good time and being a human, to becoming a gelatinous blob influenced by mystic gravitational forces. But, im going to keep testing that idea. Woodlovers just aren't that practical for real production, they're about as different as farm raised salmon vs. farm raised tilapia, or a dairy cow vs a deer. it can be done, and its a lot of fun working with them.

Some cyans are still popping up and making it to maturity in the new bed.



We've had hot and dry weather too for a while and no rain until a few days ago. Most of the pins are in the shaded parts of course but still, Im surprised they hust keep coming. Allbeit in lower numbers.

Hi Folks
I’m wondering if any of you have introduced wood / lignin into the cultivation of wood lovers earlier and if you thought there was any advantage to it (speed, vigor, leap off).

I have added some Adler wood pellets (.5 -1%) to my agar for woodlover germination or transfers, I’ve added about 1-3% wood pellets in my grain jars for woodlover mycelium.

The thing is I was too lazy to do a proper side by side comparison of wood supplemented vs not wood supplemented.

I can definitely say it doesn’t hurt. All those efforts were as good and possibly better than non supplemented.

🤪

Damn guys the stuntzii is so pretty.




They are growing real fast too. Eager little things. :mushroom2:

Edit: lol, let me add my reaction. I literally walked outside after I got home, it was dark so being me, I'm out there with my flashlight like a crack head. I've literally sat outside in the rain looking at fungi, not much stops me. Anyways, all I can say is what the fuck lol. They just appear out of nowhere.

I mean yeah, the records show that stuntzii isn't all that potent. So what? I have honestly found that every family of active fungi, even at times individual species all have their own little notes and slight flavors to the experience. Maybe its just in my head and subjective. Sometimes, you don't need balls to the walls 10/10 ego smasher. I've had some of my best experiences on very small doses. There's something to be said about being in the right mood and just having that tiny little nudge, and the relative clarity of being somewhat adjacent to sobriety, make for very clearheaded thoughts that can be made sense of and integrated into the soul, as some may say.

So don't diss the "weak" ones. They all deserve a look and some love. :heart:

#Indoor Psilocybe cyanescens pinning and fruiting, no special setup, just sitting at a south facing window, in a chilly room max:min 20°C : 2°C


Long story short

Feb 22 purchased spawn to fermented pet bedding beech woodchip and some g2g, mycelium expansion until July 20.
Mixed with fermented beech wood chip, fermented hemp chips, compost. Kept in basement until mid September and set out in the rains.
Fall turned into an Indian Summer.
Early November, 1st pins were quickly followed by  heavy frosts and sub zero C  conditions. As such I decided to move the bags back into the basement and then into my house. Since then I had a decent 1st flush and a continual supply of pins here and there fruiting continually in low numbers until this pin set formed.

Cyanescens patches in a nearby park have come to life



And so has the Psilocybe Subaeruginosa bed we made last year.



This particular one I have mixed extra wood chips into in early spring, it was thorougly picked apart and pulled upside down by birds and has also survived a dog vomit slime mold (which I removed).
