I’m located about 20 miles East of the Central Oregon coast on a parcel of land in the old growth conifer forest along the Alsea River

On this evening’s dog walk, while chasing our resident spotted skunk down a draw into what I would call a “bog”, I found these characters, coated in ice standing out amongst the leaf litter along a small alder thicket.



They caught my eye, as I have never seen anything close to these anywhere on this property.  In this part of the world, there is very few landscaped “urban” gardens, which is where I would expect something like these guys to be found.  Regardless, after I plucked them from the duff, and up with the stem bases came old sawdust. That’s when I remembered that I had slabbed out a downed alder near this very spot earlier this spring.

Caps were anywhere from a half inch to 2 inches wide, brownish orange with some almost greenish edges.  The margins immediately bruised blue as well as the stems, which ere anywhere from 2 to 4 inches tall, and white prior to handling. They were hollow and about a quarter inch thick.  Gills were smoky brown to brown with purplish highlights and lighter edges.  The smaller examples also had little blue bruises right on the top center of the caps. Spore prints in progress and will post an update tomorrow eve.  Enjoy the pics, they’re not very good, but I am learning.

Cool finds. Exciting that they arrived without you intensionally introducing spores.
Add more chips later in the season and keep that patch going!

Wild psilocybe cyanscens growing in a non-mulched environment, aka one of the most potent rides you will ever take.  I think only pan cyans in the tropics and azzie's can get more potent than wild cyans.

I’m assuming that alder chips would be best as they were originally found on that substrate?

Do i need to sterilize/autoclave them, or just scatter what I have directly on top of the spot where I plucked them?

Lastly, I havent checked yet, but the spore prints I’m trying to make from these guys will they be viable for cultivation?  Remember, they were encased in ice and pretty well frozen when I found them.  Or furthermore, will they even leave a print if they had been frozen in their habitat? 

I would say they weren’t frozen completely through but all surfaces certainly were.

Again, thanks for any help with this.

I'd submerge the chips under weight in water for at least a day covered, probably longer so that the chips get saturated.  When you then drain it, the chips will basically get sterilized by the reaction with the air.  This makes for a great starter substrate.  I believe this is referred to as fermenting the chips.

Sorry, one last wrinkle….

Do the wood chips need to be seasoned?  Or can I use green alder just ran through a chipper?  I do know that certain wood have essential oils and chemicals naturally occurring in nature.  Part of me would guess that if this was an issue with Alder, then there would tons of documentation steering me away from that wood.  But just to be safe…is green a go, or no?  Otherwise I can dig to the back of my wood shed and dig out some properly seasoned alder.

Thanks.

Green chips through the chipper should be fine. The myc will sort it out

Ooof, that would've helped.  Also my wood mulch composition was probably wrong, it was like 20% alder, and 80% other local norcal wood.
