PitcherCrab- that myc seems to have no issues with the big gaps looks great!

LREAM- that is a huge question. There is an immense amount of info on this thread and furthermore the whole Shroomery site, I suggest spending lots on time using the search function and going down the cultivation rabbit hole.

The real question is how deep and involved are you trying to go? If you don’t want to make a lab or develop and select cultures in Petri dishes I would suggest this:

Imo the simplest method for long standing results for a garden is to buy sawdust spawn and use it to inoculate logs. The logs can then be stacked or you and lay them down use them as barriers and with some species even buried. Check out this link they have a lot of good information and the tools you need.

I'm already into the lifestyle, prob more than most but have no experience
with woodlovers.
I'm down with the rabbit hole but would prefer not to sift through 350
Pages of photos and chit chat, so was looking for specific threads, users
Ect to read up on some basics like which varieties prefer this wood vs
That wood. Thanks for thd link

I’d say this thread is predominantly about active wood loving psilocybe species, and other actives.  There is a gourmet edible forum on the shroomery, unicorn bags site has a lot of info and links.  It really has a lot to do with what you have available as far as space and resources as far as what direction you want to go.  Oysters are a great species to start with, they are not picky, fast, and productive.  You can grow them on any grain, spawned to straw, cardboard, sawdust, you can inoculate logs or do totems with it.

Hey guys I'm chiming in this thread with a quick question here. Is there any available tek for growing azur indoors? I live in an apartment and I have an agar just ready to be used here
I was thinking about throwing it to sterilized wood pellets (the very same that I use for oysters and Reishi), but dont' really know what to do next. Would that at least be a good start?
:thanx:

Edit: I was reading the latest posts and noticed Azzies generally colonize as fast as pans or even cubes. Mine literally took forever to grow, IIRC like 3 weeks to take over almost all the plate.

In spite of that it looks wonderful. What should I do with it? Start over from print or it's ok?

LREAM - I was just searching for the RR’s Laundry Basket TEK, but couldn’t find it maybe someone else has it saved and can add it in the feed. (I have his videos which I find super helpful).
Anyway early in the norcal usa season I found some wild oysters, cloned them and expanded to grain and did the laundry basket tek it should be pinning any day now will add some pics when it does.

I also have lots of shiitake plug spawn logs in the garden using the methods via the link I posted last. They won’t star fruiting until the fall. Here are two pics from one random early fruit

Laundry basket tek ahaha, my eyes lit up with the possibilities.
Yuh i was looking to prob do oyster, shiitake, maitake and other
Medicinal ones.
My plan was def to utilize local logs from a tree company and inoculate
Plugs inside before the spring for them, one of the first questions tho
Was pretty basic I recall reading there are one or two tree species that
Are not desirable, I believe it was cedar. So i was looking for some real
Basic knowledge, and being lazy.
Also throw down some chips to integrate the
Mycelium into the garden more, i already have a 1-2" layer of straw on
The beds so from previous reply it seems like some woodlovers will set up
Shop in there.

Sorry to derail the thread into gourmet. I'll prob start reading up here
as well as the gourmet section, since I have some time before the midwest
Weather breaks. If anyone else has any helpful links or suggestions to
Start send em over, I'd much appreciate it. I'll try to keep up with this thread.

It’s all good.  That laundry basket works great, I’ve spawned old moldy cardboard, and straw in laundry baskets, it’s really cool.  Ive grown shiitake on black cherry, beech, hard and soft maple.  oak is preferred for shiitake, just avoid conifers in general, cedar and juniper are rot resistant woods.  Back in Michigan I just cut my logs late winter early spring and yarded them up with a sled to My inoculation area so they would just sit in the snow until I was ready.  I would definitely get the angle grinder attachment for drilling your holes and the sawdust plunger, makes it go a lot faster.

Hey guys,
I'm on the same journey with psilocybe woodlovers and gourmet (shiitake/oyster/wine cap) this year.

It's great to read about your experiences so far. You're all ahead of me in the process, as I'm still just waiting for my spores to arrive.

We've probably all collected a lot of our info from the same shroomery/google searches. It's fun to see how y'all are making sense of it all as you put into practise.

I'll be posting my progress and questions once I get some spores germinating.

Been having trouble getting spores. My order of azzie and ovoid spores seem to have gotten lost in the mail during Christmas. Hopefully have some azzie spores coming from a friend in the PNW...

- Please let me know if you have an ovoid print to share (mail to Canada). I'd sure appreciate it.

Hey, Kindly!  I'm maybe a bit further along than you, but much less so than other folks on this thread.  I started a journal on my effort to make an outdoor Azzie bed from a Multi-Spore Syringe I got from Sporeworks last summer.  The spores germinated on agar, and I made 3 transfers to get really clean plates.  Just put those to grains yesterday, and I'm hoping to get an outdoor bed going this spring.  There's a couple of other folks helping me out on My Outdoor Azurescens Experiment and also here (thanks, Land Trout and Mr Boogie!).  I'll be posting all my activity to that experiment journal thread if you want to follow along.

Right on madyogi!
I'll be following along and wishing you great success.

Maybe I'll try sporeworks in the future. I'm looking forward to being able to trade and give away spores to folks down the road once I get some fruits happening. Planning on doing some guerrilla beds on public land around town, as well as beds out in the country on friends land. Luckily I have access to a wood-chipper and there's a lot of alder growing around here :smile:

I think the ovoids might actually have the potential to naturalize where I live which would be beautiful.

I get fast germ from ps cyan too.  Almost had that exact rate of germination from a <1mo old print recently.  Actually,  in terms of speed of germination of various woodlovers,  I'd put ps cyan at the top, followed by subaeruginosa.

Hey folks,
I’ve started harvesting alder to make woodchips for my outdoor beds.

My plan is to use pasteurized store-bought aspen chips (pet bedding), and inoculate those using colonized oat grain spawn in tote bins indoors.

When those are colonized, I plan to make the outdoor beds by inoculating the unpasteurized (soaked) alder woodchips.

I’ve heard that bark can be a problem when trying to work with sterile indoor techniques (harbours contaminates).

Question: Am I right to assume that having alder bark and twigs mixed in with my alder woodchips for my outdoor beds should be fine? Or should I de-bark my alder?

Thanks in advance

You only plan to use them once outdoor, correct? In which case, a lil bit of mold is not of any concern. Go ahead and use it.

Jesus fuck NC!!! That's an industrial extraction-worthy amount!



I haven't posted pics in a long time so here's some "boring" stuff I'm working on.

Azzy cultures spawned to sawdust: AZ1, AZ2 and AZ3 (distinct cultures)



AZ1 was spawned first, then ~3 days later AZ2, and a week (or so) later, AZ3.

Here's AZ3 leaping off on Agar:

First post here to say hi to everyone..
I am new into cultivation, recently jumped into woodlovers thanks to fellow member here, who kindly provided me with some prints to let me started.
So now I am trying to germinate some ovoids, alenii, azzies and subaeruginosa on agar.
Some of the plates germinated, some not (still waiting them and hoping), some got nasty contams, but it seems I've been lucky enough to have clean and happy t2 plate, that I am going to transfer to grain soon.

No much to see here, as the plastic is a bit matte and there is some condensation, and my phone just can't focus anything:



I've made three batches of germination plates, on Jan 6, 13 and 17th. In the first batch Azurescens and Alenii germinated quickly, in a 5-6 days, others did not, and two plates covered with some mold were discarded.
The next batches on 13th and 17th have not germinated yet as of today, no visible contamination, they just look clean as if just poured agar and I started to wonder why the first one was so quick, and these are not.

PDA agar I make by simmering chopped potatoes for some 20-30 mins, and then using 200 ml potato water with 3g agar + 4g dextrose and some green food coloring.
I pour it into PP5 containers and then sterilize for 30 mins at 1 bar.

On the 3rd batch I decided to use sterile cotton swabs to inoculate agar, because I lost the ugly wire loop I used before.
I knew there would be a lot of spores left on the cotton tip after inoculation, and didn't wanted to just discard them after inoculation,
I put some presoaked and pasteurized fresh beech chips in some small breast milk double ziplock bags and a small jar, and dropped there each swab after using it.
Interestingly, after a week no sign of life on the agar, but something is happening on the chips already. I know chances are close to 0 but I did it
hoping that may be some of the spores will germinate, as they do in nature.. This is it:
