Great work, and an entertaining read. Getting cyans to fruit indoors is a feat.
I have several outside beds now that I have cultivated. My experience is that there is no need for a fancy mix. Mine are very aggressive at consuming alder chips with no additives. This is true of azures and cyans. I have a source for sawmill chips, which are pretty big, and they love those. I don't have any thing on top of them, though I let leaves accumulate. They grow to just below the top level of chips. The chips are now about six inches deep. I am in the Pacific Northwest, local growing climate 8b
This approach does OK.

Thank you, it's been an entertaining few months so far to say the least haha! I was lucky to obtain a spore print so I gave it my best shot.
Oooooh those are some nice pics thank you for sharing! I'd love to do an outdoor patch, but where I am I cant really do that. So is partly why I chose to try the indoor project. Where I am (UK), the weather here is about mushroom season for the likes of ps. Semilanceata and ps. Cyanescens. So the temps right now are practically perfect in the pantry for this box. I'm very excited to see what happens

Progress pics. They seem to love clustering. So many other patches I cant take pics of yet, tbh looks like this brick could erupt

Thanks 
I have made a small mistake, but easily recovered. I had been misting too often, which resulted in a couple of the fruits to have over soft tip to the cap. Yesterday was a particularly sunny day and I wasnt able to move the box away from the window. A couple that had soft tip ended up in the sun for a little while, but today it just seems that the sun shrivelled the soft tips but the rest of the cap is ok. Everything else all seems in order as before. Luckily I had stopped over misting once I noticed a small very translucent tip on 2 small caps. I realised I had been misting far too often, so stopped and only mist when it rains outside or when the moss is looking real dry. I will upload pics of the caps mentions here later.

In the wild ive seen sun dried caps, rehydrate and continue to grow as well as frozen blue, thaw and continue to grow.
I tried to find some examples. Didn't do very well.

Thanks for the examples. Here are a couple pics of the caps. One I think is dying as it has a bluing stipe now. But the others appear to be ok. I think the bigger ones will continue to grow

Thanks if you haven't yet, you should look up waylitjim's grows. I found his fall 2005 cyans thread to be a big inspiration for this, aswell as others of course. (Sorry if repeating myself lol)

Thanks and will for sure keep updates coming.
Maybe you could get one started, I'd say why not try? And if it isnt wanting to fruit when cooler where you are, at least you got a head start on a box or patch for next year?
To be fair I'd tried for a scenario like that when I started this thread....the myc had different ideas

I have now picked a few. Had to pick some a bit early due to dark shading starting on some of the caps. I didnt want to just leave them to get worse. Could be due to previous over misting, or the fact most of the affected ones seemed to be connected to a small abort in the cluster? I know they can be prone to bacterial infection as they mature. Will be keeping an eye out for that happening to some others. Felt bad about having to pick some smaller ones that were attached to clusters.

You could just cut the ones your picking and leave the smaller ones. Thats how they grow in nature. from my experience there's often varying size/age in a cluster. i just cut the done ones and leave the pins that are connected to grow.

Ah thanks. That's what I had intended to do, some in a cluster had started to get the dark patch so I just took the cluster. Should have better scissors soon so hopefully will be easier to leave the smaller ones where they are. Ones I have weren't the best shape to get in there delicately. I guess I panicked a little with the dark Marks. But from what I found while I took these up, there are plenty of little ones starting under the moss might have to try thin the moss out a little
