PF tek and Psilocybe subaeruginosa
    #26911246 - 09/01/20 06:37 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hi this is my first post here!
I didn't know that growing Psilocybe subaeruginosa would be different to cubensis... And this is my first experiment...
So I started with PF tek, jars are almost completely colonized but reading this forum I've just realized that these are wood lover mushrooms and I'm now worried they might not fruit.
What would you suggest doing at this point? It would be a shame throwing everithing out!
Thanks

Haha, rookie mistake...

Spawn the colonised BRF and Vermiculite cakes to aged and hydrated woodchips and it ought to take...

Don't be afraid! Read up on preping wood and have a crack at it! This could be a beautiful accident!

I've spawned four different species of woodlovers from brf to chips and they all took just fine.  Any spawn will work if it's clean and vigorous.  Make sure you pasteurize those chips properly or it's mold city.  Chips are dense and require longer pasteurization times.  There's also fermentation for a couple weeks which I've seen people use.

Yes, it's definitely not a rookie mistake, BRF cakes work better than grain as spawn for wood lovers but grain spawn to sterilised sawdust is better.

Ha! just made the same mistake, a few non fruiting but beautifully colonised pf cakes later .... bit of research to find out they are not that easy to fruit. Now a couple of very well colonised rye grain spawn jars are about to go into a bulk substrate of mixed Euc hardwood sawdust, coir, little bit of moo poo. One batch sterilised, one pasteurised, and one a la natural. First colonisation, then mimic natural fruiting conditions with some cold stratification then a soaking. Fingers crossed.
