Psilocybe Subaeruginosa - First time grow! Advice?
    #26694286 - 05/25/20 06:15 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Firstly thank you everyone, past and present, for this incredible resource!!
This is my first time posting and I'm so grateful for the collective knowledge that has been so openly shared. It's a cool community.

Ok so lets get to it.
I've just recently gone picking and have found myself some Psilocybe Subaeruginosa's. I've never grown mushrooms, and from what I'm reading I may be jumping in the deep end trying these as my first.

Here's my plan at the moment...
I've harvested a small amount of mycelium and have collected all the bits at the base off all the mushrooms I collected. I bought home a lot of the pine needles and decomposing eucalyptus leaves.
I've filled a pot with soil, some wild grass and a mix of the forest floor and mycelium.
I plan on keeping it in the shade and watered fairly regularly. I'm in Melbourne and we're only in our first month of winter so far.
With what I have described above am I likely to see fruiting this year? Or at all?

I also collected a lot of spore prints and plan on trying to start them on agar and then transfer to sterilized wood chips and then move to a planter box of wood chips and pine forest floor.

I've also read somewhere that putting icecubes on the top of the woodchip pile can encourage fruiting quicker too. Has anyone had any experience with this?

And for anyone who has successfully fruited Sub's am I missing anything? Not asking the right questions? Do you have any other pointers?

Peace guys
Ghost.

I tried unsuccessfully.
Firstly I got mycelium and split and put it on wet cardboard and put inside a jar for 10 weeks or so. I did about 12 jars. I could see it grow and succeeded there. I then put it into a habitat similar to what you describe in a fish tank. It got to moist and wet and grew weeds. I set this up in about July August and was hoping to fruit the following winter. I ended up traveling and not seeing the project through.

I added topsoil from a garden Centre to my fish tank and that bought in weeds and ruined my clean environment I had for the mycelium to grow. I could see it growing inside before the environment got to wet and grew grass. I will try again at the end of this year a similar set up. I flat so have to be discreet about what I'm growing.

Hope yours turns out well. Just thought I'd share my experiences
