Re: Psilocybe Azurescens Indoor Cultivation tips [Re: 3domfighter]

I noticed that the most prevalent How To Grow Az web doc is for growing outdoors. They say don't attempt indoors. However, the photo they use shows fruiting inside a Styrofoam container... Not sure if they had the container buried in the garden or not but I am left with the impression that it was in a walk in cooler or something similar to a restaurant refrigerator. Plenty of game hunters make homemade coolers for hanging and aging meat like venison/deer. So meeting the environmental variables seems feasible although semi costly to me. Not sure what could required other than a dedicated fridge/cooler, fine mist nozzle piped inside the fridge, LED light strip, air pump, an environmental controller or timers to keep humidity high and the light cycle. Maybe an aquarium heater or chiller with pump to adjust substrate temps. Involved, cost prohibitive for some, but seems doable. I may try making a cooler if the current methods don't show promise.

I have just inoculated a few Az jars with 60-70% BRF mix and 30-40% soaked alder sawdust. Just experimenting. Have Az rye bags started too. Not expecting anything from the jars but have been wondering for decades if adding wood would have a positive effect and I had extra jars and BRF mix on hand. If/when I don't see pinning I'll cut up 2 of the cakes and add to wood chips. One jar I'll try casing the cake and just fridging along with multiple air exchanges per day. Between a fridge and a mister/humidifier I don't see why they *couldn't* be done indoors (just not at room temp).

But I'm a noob with non-PC and wood-loving types. Have read a lot over the years but this is my first attempt at a non dung or rice loving type. Outdoor temps/seasons don't seem compatible here so I will be trying refrigerated jars (moved to bulk wood chip trays if needed) as well as an outdoor bed. With any luck one method will work or show promise. Hedging my bets with a run of PE6 and B+ though just in case. Will report back if anything positive is seen from the Az... But don't hold your breath!

How would you use the air pump? It should be filtered air I assume.

[My background: I'm new to this, but I've been reading up for 1.5-2mo now, and I'm 1 week into a bulk substrate monotub...and have 26 x 75% 1qt grain jars + 9 x 75% filledpint grain jars + 14 x 1qt LC & 1 x 1pt LC.]

Has anyone ever tried adding a 0.22 micron syringe filter(s) to the aquarium pump tubing, to essentially make a small HEPA filter system for the monotub/etc? I mean, it would cause positive pressure, which would prevent air from entering from other holes/gaps in the tub/etc. It would force the air out through these, including passing out via the polyfil/etc. holes of a monotub/etc.

This way, you're getting a steady flow of O2, that's free of contaminants, entering the tub. The positive pressure prevents unfiltered air from entering the container. You could have it enter via whatever height you drilled the hole(s) for the 0.22micron syringe filtered air via aquarium tubing. Maybe flush the post aquarium tubing lines with a light bleach or alcohol solution, for added sterility?

I would assume this could be a game changer, depending how much air the pump expels via the syringe filter lines. I would assume one of those super powerful $60-$100 pumps would do, and I would assume to use 3 way valves, to split it via multiple filters, if it causes too much back-pressure/doesn't allow enough air through. And, splitting would also allow you to more evenly distribute the air through the monotub/container. I just don't know if putting the hole up high, like the computer fan versions I've seen. Or, if putting em down low near the substrate layer, to provide O2 directly under the canopy is better.

Any comments/feedback?

Can anyone tell by these pictures if this is mold? Also, how can I correct/salvage the grow, if it is mold?

Old post, but from what I was told it will look like it's trichoderma but isn't before pinning.
