Nice find.
Is it common to find them growing straight from a log?

They don't look like Serbica to me. More like Cyans. Nice find tho. Past their time, but nice.

They are quite tall though, looks like they came out from low-medium O2 to high O2. It's interesting they mostly grew out of the cut in the wood, humidity probs.

Oh well. Those in the post look def. like serbica. Have you tried putting some to grain to spread?

Is anyone willing to test some magic wood loving fungus for laccase production? You wont need much of a sample, just enough to put onto agar.
Items needed: 240B+ (bloom) gelatin, black tea. Also: Calcium carbonate, powdered.
----
Carbon based materials:
Calcium bicarbonate: [ Ca | C | H | O3 ] 2. Proteins, varied: [ Cx | Hx | Ox | Nx ] x. Polyphenols, varied: [ C6 | H5 | O ] x.
Theobromine: C7 | H8 | N4 | O2. Theophylline: C7 | H8 | N4 | O2. Caffeine: C8 | H10 | N4 | O2. Theaflavin: C29 | H24 | O12. Tannins: C76 | H52 | O46. Catechin: C15 | H14 | O6. Carotene: C40 | H56.
----
This recipe is adjusted for better visual indication.
Recipe: 100g Extract + 2.8g Agar + 2g 240B Gelatin. Extract: 125g Water + 2-6g CaCO3 + 3g Black Tea.
Use CaCO3 to balance the pH to a desired level.
You may need more agar, gelatin makes it soft.
----
If the mycelium produces ample laccase, black oxidization will occur. Laccase will decay [X] material and convert it into sugars.
A sweet smell is noted when conversion occurs.

Now with population.

They are stubborn to spread but they are planted all over America now . Did countless trades past 2 years.

I will check my patches tomorrow.

Yeah, check my pictures from last year. I also sprayed spores on the rotten logs last year and by the beeches in the forest that is closer to where I live. I had to go all the way across the city to get todays pictures, but have forest by my place where my ovoids live (print from stevo ).
And subs on the way to the ovoid patch.

Ovoids fruited 3 weeks ago. I hope they will fruit in spring too.
A lot of stuff is going on . Very good year for mushrooms in general in my parts.

I have just germinated some serbica spores. Going to take transfers off germination plate tonight. Hell they may have originated from you Psynonim, as mine came from PsiloPsychIn and I think he said he got them from you. Crazy thing is I see no bacteria or mold. I know what I got is not mold as it has grown slow the last few days, way to slow to be mold.

So I keep thinking over this, wondering if it could work for wood loving psilocybes.
I had been watching WTF mushroom vlog on youtube. Watching how they produce gourmet mushrooms on a large scale. At one point I remember them soaking sawdust wood fuel pellets. They spawn some grains to bags of those, then I think spawn those to more bags of sawdust. They went this far to have as little grains in their bags as possible, something about contaminations, but this probably is not needed here. That honestly was probably not where their contamination happened, but whatever. They then spawned those 2nd round of sawdust spawn bags to bags of sterilized wood chips. I do have to say, that I would think sawdust spawn would give a crazy amount of inoculation points.
I want to try agar to grain. Then grain to hydrated sawdust fuel pellets. Then those bags of colonized sawdust to wood chips. If I got healthy colonized wood chip blocks I could attempt to rock the bags kind of like Bossley does his bags, or possible in a green house as a block. The other option is a couple bags would fill a 32qt tub rather nicely or straight to a bed. I am more interested in trying to fruit from the bag or woodchip block similar to how some do oysters in bulk production.
I am curious if any of you have played around with anything similar for our wood loving psilocybes.

WTF is doing this because he keeps messing up his grain prep and wasting time and money. Interns can nail the moisture content of a PF jar 10x easier than wheat/oat IMO.

Not going to lie. I have had some issues getting oats right. I had also made the mistake of rinsing my oats in cool water, after boiling, to try to cool them down. I was thinking with a cooking mindset, not a mycology mind set. Since I have read that dumping them out and letting them steam dries them off far better. The best oats I had done were some I let dry in front of a fan.
Still I am curious about using fuel pellets and much to make a block of sort. One big ass wood lover cake. lol.

you should be able to do a cool rinse for exactness(being reliable everytime) and ease for best results.IMO
You should just hydrate the grain less than you are now and load them wet after draining for 30 min.

And I don't exactly boil my grains
I boil water, remove pot from stove, and add grain. Let that steep for 30 min and drain.rinse with cold and let drain for 30.
easiest most reliable and exact method imo. You may have to adjust that steeping time per grain but that's it
