There is Nemaslug, though I'm not sure how well they work, and also how well with mycelium.
I know various mycelium will trap and eat nematodes, so it might not work. The nematodes could also eat the mycelium, but I am not sure.
Has anyone tested nematodes in the past?

I have predator snails and slugs in my garden! But they only eat other slugs and snails when the weather is dry and there's no other food source. They would also eat the vegetables and mushrooms!

I've used nematodes on vine weevils before, with success.
You can make your own anti-slug nematodes in a bucket really easily http://www.edgworth-horticultural-society.co.uk/pdf/Make_your_own_slug_killer.pdf - I'm tempted as I don't use poisons, but still it seems a bit evil.
Best way I've found to keep slugs at bay is to have a composter nearby with good fermenting food in it. I pour fermented liquids in there to help attract them (works like a beer trap). But you have to keep feeding the composter with weeds or similar, as otherwise the slugs will abandon the composter and rampage.

My cultivation method is isolated (other than sitting on solid concrete), I just use non-toxic slug pellets around the base and on top. The annoying thing is the rain, although the pellets I am using seem to resist it for quite some time, they are pricey.
I might try that link you posted when the pellets run out, it seems simple enough, thanks for the info.
Do you think I can use the brew mixed with paper pellets, to make a defensive casing?

Serbica tends to have much thinner stipes IME.

Found this video, If you don't mind the robot female it has various details on Serbica (not sure about all the images).

Still nothing from my azure bed, but temps keep randomly jumping into the 50s and 60s. Lots of rain though, so I'm still keepin my fingers crossed.

I have 'possible' activation of Serbica spores on my test setup (see here), after 48 hours. There is a very tiny ring of oxidization appearing around the wooden peg.
Images are difficult to take, so I uploaded modified versions. Note, tea turns black-dark brown when it oxidizes.

Serbica? 48 hours? Mine took 2 weeks to germ.

That's why I said 'possible', the images are not good, if I get growth soon, then it was decay.
Edit: In comparison the the cubensis sample the ring is larger and more visible.

@cronicr
Yes I got the same conclusion So that is why they like it here, the only known wild psilocybes what can be found and native in my country.
Thik stems can be because of heavy spawning, and sawdust in the pile.
Thanx.

I recently swiped some serbica spores and got cubensis-tempo germination, crazy. It's going to be a good strain, if it is indeed serbica.

Azure tend to be more uniformed in shape and appearance to each other in the group or cluster is my opinion.
All of you are doing big things. Great job. Been finding cyans, about all i can contribute at this time in my life.

Just beautiful !! Such a neat species !!
Cloned azurescens patch 1 is blowing up. About 6 weeks later than the year before. Been so dry til recently.
Note to self make the beds long so you can pick them better. Hard getting to the inner patch without stepping on them:( azurescens patch 2 has just begun to pin.
The allenii have begun too. More bell shaped and much shorter than the towering azurescens.

I’m assuming the allenii are an outdoor patch?
I have some nice allenii cultures I plan to expand into supplemented sawdust bags soon but those will be done indoors. I’d really love an outdoor patch but too many neighbors in close proximity
