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

wow. some amazing stuff in here yall. I am a noob. I have learned an immense amount, just by reading. very interested in these wood lovers. any reccomendations for what I should do to prepare some freshly shredded white oak substrate? does it need lime?...was thinking about mixing with straw and coffee grounds. thank you all for sharing all you all do. there are truly some brilliant people on here.

First time growing woodlovers and an outdoor patch. Wondering if, once i sterilize my growbags and tranfer grain spawn to them, wont that diminish the purpose of sterilizing my woodchips as i let contams into the growbags by opening them and dumping all my rye spawn into them

Hi and welcome!
Well, yes and no.. "diminish the purpose"? Well if you wouldn't open up the bags to use them it defeats the purpose of having them entirely. 
You would be quite right if you just open your bags wherever, but you should instead add the spawn either in a glove box or still air box (SAB) or in front of a laminar flowhood if you get fancy.
There is a risk of contamination when you add the spawn, I guess.. but you can't do all this stuff without running any risks whatsoever tho not all risks are equally serious.
Just use teks and combine that info.. don't forget to wipe everything including the bags and jars with something like bleach. There are other techniques designed to limit risk of contam.
I keep the top part of the bag folded to the side as much as possible (my glovebox also isn't *that* tall), I try to position as small a part of the jar as possible over the opening of the bag when i dump in the spawn in the folded part like an airlock. In general, never wave any objects above the opening of a contam sensitive substrate cause a contam may fall off and into it even if you sanitized.
Sanitizing is not sterilizion.
If you use unsupplemented pasteurized wood then it's not quite such a problem to just inoculate in open air although i do recommend a high spawn ratio.
So, get proper teks, proper equipment if you don't already, and get experience in order to get a routine you can keep improving. There are often sets of routine movements involved and you just get better by repeating it and learning from mistakes.
can i ask what species of woodlover you are working with?

Yeah I'm in the process of printing;)
The allenii are from outdoor patches as well under a rhody bush. Nowhere near the azure flush but I just planted them last year. The myc has expanded outward quite a bit. I'll add more chips after the season finishes.

Thanks Solipsis, ill definately build a glove box or something along those lines and not stress it as much. Big ups! Do you know if i could spawn the woodchips and once done colonizing i could spawn those to more woodchips to create more spawn for an outdoor bed or is that too risky for contams?

Well, every time you do that is another risk you stack up, so it kinda depends on whether you have your methods down in a way that makes the risks manageably low.
Make more bags than you need to compensate for possible losses - but this works best if you get some experience and have an idea of what your contamination rates are.
It is also best to use steps of expansion of your myc (which is what you are talking about) which make sense for the amount you are aiming for.
Make a sort of calculation using your goal amount and what are reasonable spawn ratios and you should be able to see quickly whether it makes sense to only spawn to bulk once or expand once or maybe twice. You want to do it nice and exponentially cause if you do it more linear that could mean that you are expanding so much in such a way that it could lead to senescence, but not sure.
In practice you should be fine especially if you didn't use a culture which was already kinda old.
What I did personally by the way is I used sterilized supplemented wood in my first steps of making a Ps. Cyan balcony planter but I expanded it a bit extra to pasteurized unsupplemented wood cause it's a lot easier: no PCing but just a really large pan and a lab thermometer. Works well with chunky woodchips but I wanna warn you that really fine sawdust (more like shavings) can easily get overly wet if you throw them in a container of water for a while. With chunky wood chips not so.
