Frosts won't hurt azurescens just slow down maturation speed. Don't give up to early I let my hoses freeze every year to water beds as long as possible.  I think cyans are just similar. If ur patch seems late, most mine grow when everything is dead n gold brown,  use rotten fallen leaf to cover beds. And use rocks to insulate microclimates from extreme cold n dry air. You'll be suprized how tough azurescens is.key part is making ur beds a true sheltered microclimate. Exposure to dry cold air and wind fries them in few hours. Amongst rocks I've found i got amazing clusters late in season

Hey, I'm new to outdoors cultivation and would love some input. I have several plates with psilocybe cyanescens and two big ikea bags of wood chips. The chips are a mix of young alder and aspen I think, kinda hard to see just from leaf buds.

I live in Norway, and my local climate is comparable to zone 6b-7a. I had plans to spread spawn on wood chips that are used in swampy areas for ski tracks and foot paths, but I've discarded that idea. The chips are spruce, which I gather is not ideal. Also there's still snow on many of these chipped tracks, so short season.

New plan is to make some beds in the forest near some creeks. I know some swampy and shady spots that don't dry out in summer. I'll also plant in some pots on the balcony.

Is it ok to just pour grain spawn in bags of wood chips indoors? No soaking, sterilizing or pasteurization? I plan to do grain to grain first to speed up the process. I could put some sawdust in the final jars/spawn bags, but not sure it would benefit anything..

Excited to see this. Is there a writeup for Van's tek or is it scattered through the wood lovers thread?

if u go onto the shroomery discord u might be able to find where he laid out the details.. could be deleted by now but he did give a lot of details on the discord



u know being banned from the discord really impedes my ability to provide information... but i still manage :crazy2::lol:

Edit: he didn't mention in that screenshot but i do remember it was hardwood mulch + coir + spawn but the details should be on there and I would go and screenshot/relay more of the details if I was able to

Edit 2:

  i topped it with coir and kept the surface conditions good. this is all kept in a like 4x8 greenhouse
i just spawned grain to 50% coir 50% hardwood mulch and it loved it

agar till clean. to grain. to 50% coir 50% hardwood mulch then water it daily and keep it in check with a small hoophouse. i also use them for cubes and shit. other plans for it as well

There is a lot of information but it is de-centralized, scattered all over the place over years like the infinity stones, so I had to become the Thanos of Shroomery: I have made it my personal mission to gather all of the details by asking around and researching for weeks in winter! I will be writing it all down in a separate thread by the time it is done in early May! :takingnotes::mushroom2:

Ovoid mycelium started last spring survived zone 5/4 winter. 

Got a bag of Hickory smoker chips in the PC; last night I brought them up to a simmer for 15 minutes and then drained in colanders and set out on a sheet pan to dry overnight.

They looked dry when I loaded them up but were quite soft and pliable, shooting for the drier side.  Got a couple quarts of calurensis, gonna send one tomorrow and add the other to apple smoker chips.  Think I'm going mix colonized spawn with local pasteurized chips in planters.

Thought about doing a 5lb sawdust block but fuck that I never had any luck with those outside of Lion's Mane.

just got 9 yards of 100% willow.  The arborist told me they emptied the chip truck this morning, and took down these huge willow trees that had crown die-back.  no rot, just healthy trees.  he only put in the wood that was 8" and smaller to the chipper.

they were taken down and chipped today; that is much better than the old pile i was tempted to use.  but it got me thinking (and I couldn't find the old quote from stipe-n cap) 

last time stipe told me that chipping recently downed maple was a bad idea.  he said it would probably work because cyans are as easy as it gets, but alas, they did not fruit the first year, and the only ones that did fruit the first year were from random mixed chips from a city wood chipper.

so...  how picky should we be with chips?  Apparently ideally we should find hardwood that was downed in the dormant season, then let to sit in the shade for 2wks to 2months, then chipped.  We all know that's pretty hard to come by unless we chip our own.

should i be hesitant to be using freshly cut and chipped willow?  need to get these patches in the ground ASAP, and if I wait for the chips to age at all, random fungi will start colonizing them.

what is realistic good practice?

IMO they're not that picky and I'd send it.  I understand dormant being ideal but not the "curing" stage... you want to knock up within a couple weeks.

Hadn't heard that about Maple chips, pretty sure that I used a lot of those the first couple seasons I started doing this. :facepalm:

so my family has some forested land, and there was a big storm few years ago and a bunch of trees fell. It's in a 4b area.

Is a small drill and colonized wood pegs enough to colonize a fallen tree?

I have no wood loving actives, nor do I know which ones would be good for 4b, if any.

Also interested in gourmets. Grabbing a bunch of tasty shrooms (chicken of the woods perhaps) would be fun when I go up.

Wood dowels only work on freshly cut logs, you've missed the window by a long shot.  I did CoTW to Oak logs totem method a couple years ago and nothing yet.  I was thinking about making a small slice into an oak (not during wilt season) and adding agar or maybe scratching the roots a little bit and adding agar... back on topic

Cyans, azzies and ovoids could survive, probably a lot of others too.  Azzies being the more fickle of those for most people.
