I've got 20yr old azures that survive serious harsh winter cold. Years ago negative 50 windshield negative 25F for over two weeks straight
Azures can definitely survive winters and wud pop up earlier in northern beds. Plant them bro :leafromp:

Aztecorum used to be known as quebecensis in the Quebec region, might be a good one to try seeing it already grows there. I’d go for ovoid too, they have been really productive for me compared to the cyanescens where we just don’t get the right conditions for them every year.

Very cool, thank you everyone for the fantastic advice. I double-checked and apparently its 5a and 5b though, but sounds promising.

I am assuming a nice shaded patch in a forest would be perfect? I could easily do that at my family's lake house, but unsure how quickly these fruit.

Is this something I need to check on almost daily, or swing by during the right time and harvest accordingly?

Also, I am guessing colonized pellets on fallen logs isn't quite a method for these?

If only there was a way for me to source these via bartering with fellow enthusiasts...

Make sure you check the most recent hardiness zone map too. I know a lot has recently changed! I'm in zone 5 myself and am working on several. I did recently get a baeocystis and aztecorum from Nova Scotia that I'm really excited about! Also working on azurescens, ovoideocystidiata, caeruleorhiza, caerulipes, and a few others.



Really excited about that zone 6 along the lake Michigan coast! Definitely going to be traveling over there and taking advantage of it.

If you haven't seen my psilocybe Taxonomy thread (in my signature) check it out. I have instructions on how you can study more about these species there.

WOODCHIPS.  They live on wood chips like you’d see on a park path or playground.  I suggest going back a ways in this thread and see what people are doing.

Cross post from the indoor ovoid thread:

I had a shoebox of colonized ovoid on apple wood. Just covered the surface in a generous amount of cactus soil straight from the bag. I figure if you can bury it outside, then you don’t need to specially treat your indoor tub either. Gave it a good mist and it’s doing stuff. I’ll keep you all updated.

If those woodchips are sus, start with lots of spawn and less chips. Add chips slowly once colonized.

I got an ovoid patch I’ve only been to three times, once when I planted last spring and this spring when they’re fruiting, they’re doing just fine without having to check on them. And the cyanescens patch I put up in the holiday farm burn did well without ever having to look at it once. Them again some of the well tended patches in my yard just fade out.

seems next to impossible to remove the slime mold, i'll go try to get out the obvious bits...  I was just going to let them fight it out now that the dry season is upon us.  didn't want to spread more spores.

thanks NC, good input, i'm trying hard to get new wood chips though, we'll see.

And about this conversation about cold climates and cyanescens...  i've been wondering where to put my new patches because where I garden up here in the hills is a good 1000ft above the valley floor which is zone 8 or 9, so I would say we may be like zone 7 or 8, if that's how it works, because we're always at least 10degrees less than our local valley forecast. 

The only one that fruited in the first year (probably because of a low spawn ratio, but also a short growing season maybe) was one cyan patch.  It put out a few fruits and they quickly froze. 

Conundrum, i put things by the creek because it's more humid and I have water there, but its a frost pocket, and i'm thinking to put them a little bit up the hill on the slope in the forest, where the frost pocket effect isn't so strong.

this is the patch that fruited first year -


below was only december 3

Season was ended on Dec 3 because of frost.

maybe this year they'll have more of an idea what it's like out here and fruit earlier?


I'm okay with that and all, but i'm really curious what to do about these caeruleorhizas i'm about to spawn.  if they're supposed to fruit in late december, i'm not sure this is the place for them.  or maybe up here they'd fruit in early december?

planning on putting those up the hill a bit out of the frost pocket for sure more than the other woodlovers, how does that sound?  Or is 3000+' elevation not a good place for caeruleorhizas, maybe I'll try to put them down in the valley.

also trying to find a place for the IWL which seem more tropical.

Alenii might be fine in the frost pocket, ya think?

Am I overthinking this?  plenty of people have success with REAL cold, like... this is just oregon after all, but I'm wondering the wisdom in putting all this work into WL spawn and then putting them up in the forested mountains.  It is more humid, but colder.

It's not a fight, 100% the slime mold will win.  It's a predator.

Personally I'd shovel the whole thing into the sun and start over, if the slime mold spreads everything you've done is toast.

As far as the other stuff, you're overthinking it.  I also live in the cascade foothills in oregon and have had no trouble fruiting wood lovers.  Yards are full of micro climates, one side of my yard is consistantly 15-20 degrees colder than the other :shrug:  I have a buddy currently fruiting ovoids at 1400'

I’m pretty sure that slime mold is just as much in the soil as the chips, it moves incredibly quickly, some seasons it pops up in every chip bed and just moves from One spot to the other, like it’s omnipresent, I wouldn’t be surprised if one colony of it covers over acres of land but I’m just theorizing. No doubt when it shows up in a colony of woodlovers it eats a lot of mycelium, and then they have a hard time recovering from it. I don’t know if there’s any real control over it. I’ve got to the point of just enjoying watching it do its thing and hoping for the best for my patches.

I've gone nuclear on it before and shoveled out an entire patch along with soil.  It got rid of it, but only because I acted quick when I first saw it.

I watched some take over a whole park in portland and end the ovoids there.  In one year it was complete decimation, god damn.

ok i'm now officially scared of slime molds.

but are they all equally aggressive?  any clue what species or even genus this one i'm dealing with is?

knowing little about them, i'm wondering if I should remove what I can find of them (difficult, because they've stopped growing and I'd mostly be going from memory where I saw them when they were slimy and growing; they are only sporulating in one or two spots that I can find)  Slime molds are single-celled organisms, which I assume means that If I dig them up, I would be removing some of them, but effectively dividing the colony, and the more stirring and disrupting I do to the patch, they could just be spread.  I'm reluctant to remove the whole patch...

I have a propane weed torch.  Not that kind of weed torch, an agricultural propane burner that is used to kill weeds.  What do y'all think about just burning anything that sporulates to avoid spreading the slime mold around, and reducing the spore load?  I could stay on top of it like one would with blackberries or other weeds that keep coming back - repeat torching?

edit:  how deep do the slime molds grow?  however deep there is mycelium to eat?  or are they moreso on the surface?


Thanks for the input, but about the cascade foothill comments, i'm on a north facing slope around 3000 ft.  If I'm overthinking the climate thing then should i assume the simple answer is that all the psilocybes will adapt to fruiting whenever is reasonable for them? 

what about caeruleorhiza, will they just fruit earlier?

won't I still have a shorter fruiting season than, say, somewhere on the coast with lots more frost-free days?  I don't need to put all my eggs up on the cold hill just because that's where I am.
