How To Take Cyanescens Live Mycelium and Culture it for next year?

Hey yall,
so I found some cyanescens (confirmed). I grabbed a bit of the mycelium without fucking the patch up so I can cultivate it, and get the proper mulch and start a patch so it will grow next year in my backyard.
How do I go about doing this? Already have the mycelium to start. thanks sincerely!!!!

Agar to clean it up and expand from there. I have no idea the rest of the process for grownig cyanescens outdoors but you should definitely start with agar.
You have a pressur e cooker?

agar is great, work for a clean culture, make lots of spawn, go from there can save the culture in the fridge...
but if intimidated by agar, ps. cyans and most other WL seem super forgiving of low-tech methods.
just boil woodchips, allow to steam-dry a bit, cool to room temps, then fill containers with prepped woodchips, anything from jars to old plastic yogurt containers. drop in a stem butt or woodchip, close and let it do its thing.
or just mix into mulch of potted plants or in garden. but helps to give it a head start in a container.
cardboard, paper, straw, leaves, all work nice as fast colonizing filler food no pc, no sterilization, no hood or SAB, simple low tech. just crack the lids every once in a while.
takes longer for patch to fruit low tech like this without grain supplements
sometimes some other stuff grows in containers, but 9/10 the cys dominate an do fine. if you see green, throw it outside... all you need is to get some myc started, then it can go outside and it will figure it out. its an aggressive fungus.
have fun!

i monkeyed around and transferred some allenii myc from tub and put it into jar. just small, small piece of myc.
im not recommending anything, just sharing my opinion that this route is quite sure way to, at least, keep them around and alive until you think how best to put myc into use.. its slow as fuck but involves only wood and patience. all open air.
and i got pin.

Any hardwood chips that someone will drop off a truckload of for free.... Avoid woods that are toxic like eucalyptus or black walnut... Check craigslist

So for culturing I'm gonna use alder wood.
The recipe will be: freshly boiled woodchips that have steam dried for a bit - into a sterilized large jar, and add the myceliated woodchips with cyan mycelium and mix up gently. then what do you suggest that I can add optimally for best food for them? Cost isnt the issue here, best chances and success are.
thank you endlessly

Hey guys so I got the jar going. A lot of the super myceliated bark from the cyanescens patch with the rest of the jar being boiled alder wood then steam dried. I basically will let this jar just do its thing... but for how long?
How long do I want this jar to do its thing before introducing it to a good sized patch of wood chips? Should I then mix it distributed throughout multiple parts? It will then colonize that patch over the next few months, go dormant, then next year fruit?
thank you!
