Def let us know if they drop any spores or not!
What fruiting conditions did you use and what was the total grow time?

Non sterile tek Original myc taken from patch that I found in Nov
Transferred to aspen chips and let colonize. Mix 30/30/30 woodchips/potting soil/coco let colonize
Fruiting in a unmodded tub (x2 6qt) Lots of water and lots of air flow Temps in the low 70s Pins after 34 days Full fruit in 5 days
I am by no means a mushroom cultivator. Still a noob so I’m sure there is plenty of room for improvement. I’m honestly surprised it worked at all. I blame it all on the mushrooms 🤣
Please if anyone has any tips on continuing this species indoors lemme know. I have yet to receive any more fruits out of this tub but I’m sure patience will pay off...
🙏❤️🍄

Yes. I have had a lot of experiences with ovoids at this point. I love them. They have such a unique feel to them unlike other psilocybe.
These indoor ones were entirely unto themselves.
I harvested 12.6g wet from the first flush. There were 6 fruit bodies in total. I consumed them all in a lime tek tea (limes have slightly more acidity than lemons 😁) mixed into a coco drink at the end. It’s important to not that these particular mushrooms did not exhibit very much blue bruising from handling or from cutting.. they did however blue heavily all over the fruit body when introduced to the lime. I believe this is due to low amounts of psilocin and higher amounts of psilocybin...
The trip itself came on in about an hour, which is a long time for a tea tek! Once in it, I was having mild visual distortions, body euphoria, body relaxation, chills, goosebumps. Very body heavy trip. It was so nice! At one point I almost felt a little sedated. Heavy CEVs around hour 2/3. Whole thing lasted about 6hrs.
Ovoids have always been a less visual trip for me. At higher doses they do produce brilliant rainbow highlighted effects and awesome fractal visions, but only briefly. They really are a beautiful mushroom that are unique to their kind.

Cool read. Been looking for a chemical analysis of these and voila. Thanks. Just noticed some germ action on some brf paste today on 1/3 of my jars and am purdy darn excited to try these (read your bioassay report above ).

No. I have done a similar indoor fruiting with P. stuntzii and have seen it done with other wood lovers. There are teks out there for indoor cold weather species as well.
I think the Stuntzae group are a little more warm weather forgiving. Ovoids fruit in the spring and fall but stuntzii are almost rear round where they are native. Subs would be another good one for all our down under friends... there are quite a few species out there I think would make great indoor cultivars.

Do some research but I think they would do just fine if you can ensure a proper climate control for cooler temps. I am currently colonizing chips with local P. cyan right now... they are almost ready for fruiting. I found these this last winter.. again featured in a previous post.
There is a lot of info out there if you search for it on how to do indoor cold weather Psilocybe. I know I spent a lot of time researching and reading for myself on how to do this.

Idk what they are but that paper went out of the way to point out the difference in how wild and indoor ones can look.
The thing that I noticed most about the ones they did was the veil remnant was super low

Nice grow I looked at the specimens from your original find here. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26320034 ....and with your cultivated specimens above I'm fairly certain they are Psilocybe stuntzii not P. ovoideocystidiata.
If you have access to a microscope you could take a look at the cheilocystidia or sterile cells on the edge of the gills and describe the shape, with that information it will be easy to tell which species it's more likely to be.

P stuntzii is nowhere near this potent. It does not feature gills that are slightly decurrent as well as they have a much more developed annulus that sits higher on the stem. The gills don’t look anything like stuntzii. All that plus the overall size and girth of these and the shapes of the caps have me and AR and some of the shroomery OG convinced they are ovoids... The young and older stages look exactly like ovoids. Plus the time of year and location is right. I don’t know of any stuntzii that happens naturally in Southern California in fall and spring... none. In fact in my area I am the only recording of finding stuntzii here and they didn’t look at all like these.
Here are some stuntzii for comparison.

There are huge differences in how they can look. Huge differences. Note the very apparent cheilocystidia on the stuntzii that is not apparent on ovoids. Plus the very apparent blue annulus which is why they are called blue ringers...
When I have experienced people who have done this before say to me “good job that looks exactly like mine” that tells me something
I have done a lot of research on this and I’m sorry but I disagree strongly with your ID.
Have you ever grown this species? What experience do you have to say otherwise?
In every bit of research I have uncovered they have all spent a lot of time explaining the variability in ovoids.

I agree it would be simple. Unfortunately I do not have a microscope good enough for that. However barring that I am confident that they are ovoids. Or they must be the most potent stuntzii on record.

In your post for the original wild find you said they were bunk?
I am a Trusted Identifier and amateur mycologist with over 20 years experience.
Without microscopy and a description of the shape of the cheilocystidia no one can say with absolute certainty that these are either P. ovoideocystidiata or P. stuntzii and even then DNA sequences would be needed, I'm still leaning towards the latter.

Your images only really show the pileus surface which is insufficient data for identification, look at my signature for images that show relevant macroscopic characteristics for field identification.
If you need to know what they are send a small sample including intact gills to someone with a microscope, it is very easy to identify P. ovoideocystidiata with microscopy alone

Very cool! Congrats, I attempted these indoors over a decade ago failed bad. I would tissue culture(clone) from one of the fruits and get it going on agar for storage and future use as you now how it's viable(fruits). well done!

Inski I apologize I wasn’t calling you out. I have respect for the trusted folk on this forum. I may not have an image specific of the gills but I still don’t think it’s very likely given my location that these are stuntzii. Is it not true they are highly variable? I agree it isn’t worth arguing about as I don’t have a microscope or access to one.
I did claim they were bunk in my original post. However after further bioassays from the same patch I would have to recant my previous claim. I hadn’t dried them enough to get a accurate weight and they varied a lot in potency between fruitbodies. That article talks about how larger fruits had far less actives in them and if you noticed those fruits were huge. Since then I have collected many smaller fruits which I only need about 1-2g dry for a lvl2/3 trip. I have reached lvl 5 on 3.5g of pins and aborts from the spring fruiting. I have never reached a lvl 5 from stuntzii. Ever lol.
I just think in general they are a highly variable species. The sub I grew them on was not at all like the sub they were collected on, which would play a huge factor in how they look. I think if any of YOU need convincing then you can ask me and I’ll send you a sample to verify lol.

No problem, all fungi are highly variable with environment/substrate playing a huge part in how the mature fruit bodies look.
Either way, it's a nice grow, well done, I would be happy to look at the material but I'm not in your country and don't receive such items from abroad
P. stuntzii is known from California.

Oh for sure it is known. It isn’t common though. The only find in my area (Santa Barbara county) is my own which I found growing unnaturally out of a planter tray at Home Depot! That I am aware of. Possibly there are other past finds I am unaware of or are undocumented.
As a side note I thought stuntzii does well of grass seed not really on aspen chips?

Mushpuppets indoor grow for comparison. At first he thought he found and cultivated Psilocybe caerulipes. But those are Ovoids for sure.

Now we’re talking.
Robust stipe, slight green tinge... Ovoids
Good find Sporulator

 The same culture fruiting outside in my Plumeria planter! It’s been in the 90s this week with no rain in sight. I’ve been keeping all my potted plant wet. Sometime around December I mixed in a couple of failed attempts at keeping some healthy wild myc in a jar indoors and forgot about it until now.
It is an amazing testament to the tenacity of fungi.
These went sometimes weeks without being watered.
Also idk if anyone is super interested... maybe Inski.. I sent spores to murderlabz. I figured why not. I am still very confident of what the findings will be, but I would like to know 100% A big thank you to MLabz for your help brotha.

While the spore size matches both P. stuntzii and P. ovoids, many are on average a bit narrower, which fits P. stuntzii better. It's not enough of a difference to be sure.
I also see more oil droplets in P. ovoideocystidiata spores than P. stuntzii, and I am not seeing many oil droplets in these spores, so perhaps that favors ovoideocystidiata, or maybe there are other reasons this could differ.
A quick look at the gill edge would tell for sure, hopefully you have more than just a spore print.
Thanks for including a scale, here's the spore sizes in your images:
(8.8) 9.2 - 10.5 (10.8) × (4.9) 5.3 - 6.5 (6.6) µm Q = (1.4) 1.5 - 1.9 (2) ; N = 23 Me = 9.8 × 5.8 µm ; Qe = 1.7
9.23 6.12 10.14 5.47 9.80 5.67 8.81 5.53 9.29 6.55 9.17 5.99 8.88 4.94 9.59 5.53 10.26 6.06 10.70 6.42 9.86 5.97 10.21 6.44 9.84 6.58 9.63 5.92 10.76 5.97 10.24 6.55 9.22 5.30 10.20 5.28 9.68 6.06 9.44 5.50 10.22 5.64 10.51 5.20 9.94 5.74

Thank you Zen. It’s been a long time trying with these I’m happy with the results whatever the species.
I had 12.6g wet from the first flush. Was a nice little trip! Very euphoric, body heavy, not very visual. Full body waves tho. Was givin me chills up and down my whole body!
Thank you all for your help and support

Thank you sporulator!
During they day it is 65-75. At night drops into the 55-60 range. Lots of humidity in the air due to our June gloom marine layer that settles here in the summer. We have had peaks all the way into the 90s for a couple days at a time and it doesn’t seem to effect the mycelium very much?
Gotta love that SoCal weather
This is why I first thought it would make a good species to fruit indoors cuz it fruits in all weather... the original wild patch I found basically threw fruits all year with peaks in fall and spring... Any time it rains and floods out the clusters come out tho
I actively water my pot often and when I do there is probably about 50% runoff

Hi guys I’m trying my hand at growing some ovoideocystidiata indoors and looking for any tips as to timing and conditions I should have them in . I froze a freezer bag of colonized wood chips overnight and then mixed with more wood chips from and an amount of coco coir substrate . I’m wondering if I should also be expecting to wait a long time for pins given the amount it has colonized over the past 7 days since going to bulk . I’ve attached a link to an image .. https://imgur.com/gallery/FWWdXli
