Need advice on propagating ps. cyanescens from stem butts
    #26355310 - 12/01/19 10:21 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

I found a couple of nice cyan patches last month and saved a couple of mycelium-covered stem butts to try to propagate them and start my own patch in my back yard here in Seattle.

I put the stem butts in some layered soaked cardboard, like I had read here and in Stamets' book. My plan is to get the myc established on the cardboard (which I had soaked with a teeny bit of karo syrup), and then transfer to some soaked alder shavings (pet bedding), and then keep expanding the shavings/chips once it's colonized, and then this spring mix it in with alder and maple chips in a bed in the yard for a harvest next fall.

At first the myc seemed happy and was taking off on the cardboard, but the growth has kinda stopped.  It's been almost a month now, with daily misting and air exchanges, but there's been no real growth for a couple of weeks.

I'm attaching some pics below of three of the tubs -- I separated some of the cardboard layers so you guys can see the level of growth. You can see there are some nice looking rhizomorphs on some of the cardboard sheets. But I was thinking the cardboard would be more colonized than this by now.

I'm wondering if this is ready to put in the alder shavings? Or should I be worried about the fact that it's not fully colonizing the cardboard?

thanks for help from this noob!

I think your best bet is to get some agar agar from uwajimaya, read up how to make some pasty plates, and take a spore print from a fresh cyan and try and get some myc on agar that way.  then go to grains

Put them in a cardboard box with some mulch
