Uh so guys i just smeared a few hundred spore prints of cyans ovoid serbica azure and sub on a huge cardboard and covered with pasteurized nut shells and slightly rotten chips and made a nest of japanese stiltgrass and cover with another flat piece of cardboard for now to humidify outside on the ground. Does anyone have any tips for helping the success rate?  Maybe a splash of wood tea?  Or just leave alone?

I have a colony of Ps cyanescens thats been growing on almost exclusively on red cedar chips for a decade.  I just took some of the tiny remains fruiting on pine cones around the perimeter of where the spot used to be transplanted to a hardwood chip spot.  I think genetics are to thank but also that if its wet enough with enough leaves and pine needles maybe its more tolerable.

Ps cyanescens loves pine cones.  Ive mined myc from that spot and most of it was from the cones.  The patch wasnt fed last year. It really likes the texture.  Im not sure what I have here.  Im trying to revive old myc on better wood. I think this special strain is the result of stupid luck.  I too did a lot of plates and jars and strains but the best came from a horrible contamination going right from a syringe as a gamble that nearly killed it all.  I got it to fruit on new osb board in a polluted burn area and it also fruits way earlier, potentially in sept on the east coast. I am doing a similar thing with ground up pressure treated deck board to see if I can breed another monster.

Now with ordinary conifer chips almost all strains I have worked with and have even benefitted from some moist conifer in the patch but only so much.  Plus the needles that come with it keep things so wet so I dont know why you are both suprised by this.  The cedar spot I purposely did as less work as possible just breakin up the fruiting osb piece and mushrooms and throwing it down along the side of the road where water pools and covered it and they did great there in conifer for a decade.  I picked some blue mushrooms there today to try to revive.  Junk wood like cedar will work better if sun aged a bit.  The mycelium isnt as speedy from the initial resistance but the quicker it starts to rot the quicker the patch will have rotted.

Nichrome, is it a dump spot?  Or natural?  Ive found a few single wimpy fruits where i didnt seed on cones.  Maybe thats what they do in the wild?

I have a trashbag of sunflower seeds. I was thinking maybe I should do something cool with it outside in a more or less colonized spot but the wood is still a little green still.  Maybe birds would spread mycelium.  Id like to see "wild" cyans more often, that arent coming from wood chips.  Maybe those little fir cones?

I think you guys should use bag mulch instead of smoke chips for your containers. 

You can even lay the bag outside or on concrete and have a portable patch colonizing right in the bag.  Might even benefit from a little greenhouse effect.

It stays moist, lots of surface area. Mold already ran its course yet healthy soil microbes are there and its usually free of any detrimental competing fungus.

I think it would be fun to maybe bring a few colonized twigs every time im at the garden store.

Like uncle bens tek but for wood chip rotting mushrooms.

I avoid the fancy brands and get the cheapest "shredded hardwood mulch" there is and find it makes a good base to start butts in when its cold.  It costs less than 3 dollars for a few cu ft.  If you skim through the shreds, you can find a bunch of big chunks in there usually.
