doubt you'll get many answers from experience. which is great because it means you get to try it and see what happens. got a lot of plants? try a bunch of different things and see what you can learn about how it works.

my thoughts would be that the plants you choose will largely determine how well it works. plant should be pretty tolerant of staying wet/not drying out between watering, because the fungi doesn't like drying out much at all. then the plant should be kinda leafy to cover the surface of the soil which would retain humidity. keep them in a more or less draft free spot.

but then, potting soil probably doesn't have much in the way of nutrition for the fungi so you won't get much from it but some cool pictures if it fruits.

best wishes.

I agree with this 100%. It's always awesome to experiment. It might not work at all, or it might work amazingly well, or it might do totally weird and unexpected things. Please make sure to post your results if you do end up going through with this!

To your questions:

1. I think that it's unlikely that it will harm your plants (although I'm not an expert). The nutrients that the fungus pulls from the soil won't have too much overlap with the nutrients that the plant is taking up. So long as the soil is sufficiently rich in organic material, the plant(s) and the fungus should be able to coexist.

2. What species are you planning on growing (both plant and fungal)? You can choose a plant that thrives in tropical environments so that you can keep the humidity high without harming either organism.

3. Look through some past threads where people have successfully cultivated fungi alongside their plants. There's a lot of variation in methodology, but there's a lot you can learn from these experienced growers. While they might not have used LC as an inoculant, they're insights might still be very helpful.

Again, let us know if you go ahead with this! Even if it fails (maybe especially if it fails), the knowledge is helpful for the community.

I think you would be better off just pressure cooking a toaster streudel and then inoc it with LC. I think you would get a shroom or two.

I've been doing this to my girlfriend's plants. So far none of the spy mycelium has pokep up the pots. I also noticed how moldy many household plant pots are.

A while back I had a bunch of bacterial Pan cyan LC, so I dumped it into some outdoor tomato plant pots. A couple weeks later, and I can see wispy myc taking over some of the pots :awesome:

However this isn't just potting soil, the dirt was made up of compost and spent cube subs. so like 40% coir/oats, 40% compost and 20% potting soil. oh, and some fish poop thrown in there :lol:

Not expecting much, but I'll update this thread if I see anything interesting :strokebeard:

They need some food in the plant to grow. Dirt isnt shroom food.

You have to bury colonized spawn for any hope.

Or bury a 100% colonized toaster strudel

no, it was spontaneous. no idea what kinda mushrooms two of them were. my lemon tree gives me earthstars which are silly fun to play with. has me preparing to make some giant pots of chips for some woodlovers, but that's another topic entirely.

Oh well some plant roots form sybiotic relationships with fungi. Perhaps that was at play.

What you're essentially asking is, "is every single person in the mushroom cultivation world completely insane". Because you know, if we could just splosh liquid culture on untreated soil, and get mushrooms, we'd be absolutely raving mad to bother with grain spawn, pasteurized substrates, casings, filter lids, fruiting chambers, and all that crap.

No, it won't hurt your plants, P. Cubensis is a saprophyte, not a pathogen / parasite (also not a symbiont). However, there's precious little to no quality food for the mushroom in potting soil, while there are a number of fierce competitors, including bacteria and fungi. So you might as well shoot that syringe of LC up your ass, and I do apologize for the vulgarity. But in that case you'd at least run a slight chance of getting high on the psilocybin in the mycelium. :P This way, well, most likely nothing will happen at all.
