Transplanted a Psilocybe Cyanescens patch

Parks and Rec spray this patch every year but it always survives. The local homeless trample through it pulling clumps of pins out of the ground and selling baby shrooms for drug money. After Parks and Rec sprayed this year I found little ones fruiting from the cracks in the ground, the patch flushed huge a couple weeks later and I met my competition in the park early in the morning while checking on this patch. They werent very friendly because they knew what I was there for. So i dug up a few patches right in front of them and took them home. This is how its doing. I layed a bed of sterile Alder chips soaked in Distilled water into a tote and layed them down into it. Then surrounded the chunks of substrate with more Alder. Heres some photos. Ill post photos of the big patch soon.[url=http://files.shroomery.org/files/18-44/100263162-20181031_090353

The spray is for weeds/plants not mushrooms. That's why it never hurts them, it can't.
Picking isn't harmful to a patch either. Trampling and picking help spread it.

Whatever they sprayed killed every shrooms in the patch. I was there when it happened. They did grow back though. My transplant is going well though.

I would be very cautious.Mushrooms soak up all available liquids minerals, especially heavy metals. I would not eat anything from that sprayed area, could make you very sick. I only buy organic store shrooms, read up on it. All mushrooms are sponge, sucks up everything it can tap in to. Hate to say it, but if you eat those, you aren't being smart.No offense, but you would be an idiot to consume those, or use the soil that you dug up.

" You can count on mushrooms to be on the list of foods to eat only if grown organically. Because mushrooms are very porous, they easily absorb pesticides and fungicides. ... Of grave importance is what is in the substrate on which the mushrooms grow."

Thanks for the info. I just called parks and rec and left a voicemail for the guy I was forwarded to speak to. I said that my kid ate some dirt at the park and someone walked up and mentioned that a few weeks ago there were signs posted about spraying herbacides and things. The sign part is true I watched them put up the signs but they took them down the next day.

That is the smartest route. It can take years for soils to keech out chemicals.many farms that used pesticides can't get organic certified, or at minimum, they must wait 5+ or more years ( if not 10) to let the chemicals to keech out. Besides the chemicals, in a heavily traffic area, could be dog shit, human spit, urine, who knows.Better off eating bubblegum off the sidewalk.

I have one more question. Would it be safe to use this transplanted yet poisoned patch just as a source of mycelium? If I keep it alive can I make new healthy patches with this mycelium?

I have already used a stem butt to inoculate a modified BRF cake. BRF cake has added Alder dust and tiny chips and a half teaspoon of unused coffee grinds. Then the regular BRF and Vern but in smaller amounts to accomodate the other ingredients. Stem butt has been "sterilized" in hydrogen peroxide.

Oh in case anyone is wondering or may have info on the chemicals sprayed on these mushrooms I have tracked down a photo of the posted sign. Heres the list: Aqua Neat- post emergent, Crossbow- post emergent, Dimension wEE- pre emergent, Gallery 75 - pre emergent and last but not least is R-11 a nonionic surfactant. I feel like warning all the people who pick that patch. I was hanging out at the park just looking for all kinds of mushrooms to examine and noticed more than a few people picking the cyans or looking for them. I warned them and one guy didnt believe me.

What I mean is I plan to use the transplanted soil to isolate strands of mycelium to colonize other patches. By placing a strand on agar to grow out not by putting chunks of dirt in new spots for it to grow.

Yeah you are most certainly right. Im also kinda pissed that parks and rec knows people pick and eat those shrooms because they get caught doing it. They still spray these toxic chems instead of removing the patch.

So just to update. A person I know who used to live in my town inoculated 17 patches around town already. He had the same plan as I did. Well he moved out of state and so he told me about 3 of the patches and I went to one of them to find the ground completely blanketed with thick strings of mycelium. Weve already had a freeze so it looks like its the end of the outdoor season. I brought home a small patch that had migrated from the inoculation zone to study and clone. This patch is untouched by chemicals and hidden in the woods. Now that hes gone I have to cover the patch with wood chips 4 times a year according to our agreement. Theres even irrigation from a local stream.
