Always try to seed mulch piles when you come across one. You never know what will come of it

I'm looking forward to ovoid season this year. I just learned that these are in the area, and hope to find some to add to the culture library and propagate. I thought about ordering some ovoid spores to get a patch started, but it seems better to get a culture started from native specimens vs. genetics from who knows where.

Yes. Absolutely! If you find some nice ones definitely clone and take many prints too, if only for trading purposes. Finding a nice clone candidate and getting a culture from it should give the best chance of success imo.

When do you start looking for wild ovoids in your area?

Usually around the last week or two of April. On average, the second week of May is peak, and things wind down at the beginning of June.
Of course, weather conditions are key. Last year it stopped raining the second week of may and it looked like the season was over, but at the end of June we had a series of heavy storms and there was another big flush.
I took this picture on June 30th and harvested this patch this first week of July.

Ok guys I cut this block of mostly colonized mulch out of the bed i established in June. I want to try to get it to fruit inside. We’ve had a couple days of below freezing weather so it is probably primed to fruit. Should I keep it covered and mist? Partially covered?
Whenever I bring stuff like this inside, eventually it gets overrun with little bugs and larvae. Any solution? I was thinking of grabbing a few salamanders from under a rock and letting them have their way.

Well, the standard winter myc-work has officially begun. It was too late to get any good clean clone culture from my cyan beds, but I found prints of Hunter's summer azzies from last year and got good germination. Now to figure out where I want to build new beds....

Leaving it in a tub all year really helps keeping bugs and slugs at bay, once brought in. Ive never had any luck bringing outdoor patch in. Until this and last year. Left in tub.

@NothingsChanged that's some nice work!
I'm running ovoids in my fridge thing but it's from agar to grain to bulk sub. In this case just coir but I have other trays with mulch and hwfp. I've never had success bringing a patch indoors from outside.

It was pretty basic. Agar-grain, then spawned grain to the wood chips outdoors in tubs. Once that was colonized i added more wood mixed with coir. Then brought in at fall time. Just for clarification. When i say outdoor patch, i’m talking same process (or wild), just on the ground.

subXxx, or frankensub, is cultures I made from blending spores from subaeruginosa, cyanescens, allenii, and maybe azurescens. I’m journaling it

That should be interesting, although probably not so much in the first generation, you'll have to collect spores from any fruit bodies that form and grow them out to see any phenotypic variation, I look forward to seeing what you get.
I'm working with some Psilocybe weraroa monokaryons I isolated a few years ago for a breeding project I planned but didn't finish, I need to find more genetic material from Sect. Cyanescens, I'll try with P. makarorae first and probably P. subaeruginosa and I think one of the most interesting hybrids could be with P. azurescens.

I’m definitely in it for the long haul. Inspired by This thread and this Paper It would Be really really cool to see weraroa crosses, I would be surprised if they would cross with makarorae, it’s just so different, but it would be worth trying. I really need to make attempts at collecting monos, for some reason I just havent yet. I was hoping once your subaruginosa season kicks off if you or some others could share some pics of subaeruginosa colonies In pine needle substrate. Just pics of the mycelium, and the substrate density/consistency. I’ve had my eye on a few areas of ponderosa pines that catch my eye. Just that ponderosa really likes the dry sites for the most part.
