Does anyone have any good links to share with me about how to grow psilocybe subaeruginosa? particularly what substrate to use? i want to try growing but it seems like cultivating wood lovers is abit tricky

the easiest way to cultivate them is to put stem buts in a container of wet cardboard and let it colonise. Then bury it in a pot plant full of woodchips and keep it outside during the winter.
substrate = hardwood (woodchips or sawdust)
indoor cultivation is very difficult

Thanks mate, how long should I let the mycelium colonise the cardboard? or is it just the more the better?

I've been messing around with the same question, what substrate to use. I have injected spores into store-bought pine chips, eucalyptus chips, cardboard and dead eucalyptus twigs / chips that I found outside.
I put all of them into a jar to see what it would grab a hold of first, and it seems like the dead eucalyptus is it's favourite:
(hard to see in this photo sorry)

Now may I have had the cardboard / chips too wet or something? Maybe. But I do know that dead eucalyptus on the floor is definitely something it attaches too, and all I did was rinse it for a while and pressure cook, then spores in. Now the myc has spread over all of the deadwood but really touched nothing else.
I have 3 more jars recently inoculated, but this time with only one type of wood + a bit of soil, to try and keep testing...

That’s awesome mate! I’ve kind of given up on the idea of indoor cultivation with wood lovers but I’m in the middle of putting together a mushroom bed in the back yard, I’ll definitely try some eucalyptus wood chips

Any updates on the 3 different jars?

Yeah so for whatever reason the spores did not take to those at all, I think I made them too wet and ended up tossing...
I tried another where I didn't even pressure cook the jars -- I just boiled some brown mulch for about 30 mins, let dry, then when cool dropped into a jar with a small piece of myc on wood... So far looks good, been getting some aggressive myc growth growing them at 25 degrees (hard to see through the condensation and jar sorry):
 
I have another growing from that initial jar on hardwood to see how that goes too, but too early to tell so far.
