You can cultivate them in planted pots just use a large pot and cover the top 6inches with chips, mix your oats in and wait for the first flush. Make sure the pot has good drainage, you dont want stagnant water sitting as you can drown the myc

Hey all, I wanted to share my experiments with all of you, hopefully in time this post will become handy to others trying to do the same.
Right now, I got 3 species of woodlovers going outside, with 2 more on the way. I have been doing a small patch of Psilocybe cyanescens for the last 3 years, but wanted to expand, and also give me an excuse to make the yard look nice.
Azurescens


Cyanescens


This one is half ovoideocystidiata, half cyanescens. Here I want to see if the mycellium has more edge contact, if I get more fruits. I had noticed the cyans liked fruiting on the perimeter of the patch.

Ovoideocystidiata

I am working on allenii and subaeruginosa var New Zealand. I will have to make more beds and thus get even more plants. My goal is to have the plants shade the woodchips from the harsh sun, so I have planted hundreds of bulbs in the patches, cheapest way I thought of creating shade. I wanted to incorporate elements of nature to help the mycellium feel right at home.
As for the azurescens, I am debating using the coastal dune grass, Ammophila arenaria, but I know that it is an extremely invasive species of grass and I don't know if planting that would be the best idea. For now I have put dead dune grass on the surface, as this spot in particular gets a lot of sun.
I followed a standard wood lover tek. Agar to bird seed, then to a small 4qt bin of wood, then to a larger 12qt bin of wood, which is spread onto a new patch, layering more fresh soaked chips on top. That easy, just takes time. Wood lovers are fast movers. I got my agar going on November, transferred to grain in December, transferred to wood in mid January, and got these outside in the last few weeks.
As time goes on I will detail my experiences and results. I have scoured the internet looking for information, hopefully I can help others with the adventures. Happy shrooming
-------------------- Woodlover lover! I am open to questions about wood lovers, I don't know everything, but if you like my posts and have a question, feel free to ask in a PM I do a lot of indoor experiments. I, one day, WILL figure out a surefire method for indoor woodlovers. Nothing is impossible. Indoor Woodlover experimentation Journal Indoor woodlover information - condensed Indoor azurescens

Getting serbica var ready for spawning to a outdoor flower pot. Nice growth already, this is 24h from slurry LC and a okay picture showing the spikyness of the myc and how it looks.

Where's the liquid! The serbica holds ALL of it

This thread is super motivational.
My wild wavy caps I got a print from Ohio, and now they are taking to some wood chips I soaked. I should have drained them longer... But if all goes well, I'll be set for this fall!

Alder has finished soaking, as well as my larger bin for the allenii. I am using maple, alder and apple for that. The subaeruginosas are on bird seed and are ripe for a transfer, even a little bit of bluing on the mycellium.

Noticing some wood chip jars coming out of pc totally dry on the outside
Have bad experiences transfering agar myc to dry wood, it just fizzes out

Small talk, these were agar transferred with a bare dirty hand open air to dirty sawdust inside of used zip locks.
 Also out of around 150 blocks made this winter to unpasteurized un sterilized sawdust grain to wood I’ve had 9 bags show trich. But they still make decent spawn. Azzies cyans subs and ovoids. Could have never made half that much spawn if I treated the sawdust.

There is some dosage recommendation on the species info page

Kind of a crapshoot IME, but the ones I have sampled were maybe a little weaker than cubes, but with a different (sedating) quality to the trip.

I'll definitely focus the most on luteoviridis since it fruits easily. Still working on establishing a clean plate for luteoviridis, hopefully the two good plates I have will work out.
I'm lightly upset about the serbica being mold accused. Any others feel sure of this?

Yeah it's structured like mold, not myc. Sorry bud. To be fair, I've had some surprising growth from Azzie myc on top layer chips covered with rhizo where a little poof went aerial and super wispy. If I wasn't zoinked I'd flip through the card on my camera. But yeah; mold. Got a serbica on the way myself. Been dying to work with them.
