I know someone did some microscopy on spring fruiting woodlovers in Portland and they came out closer to the description of subaeruginascens, so maybe they’re more accurately/geneticaly aquamarina. Tough to say how any of these organisms came from or how they got to where they are now as humans have been moving plants and soils across the globe for so long and have likely moved fungi around with them, as well as more recent moving of spores and cultures and intentional methods of introductions.
I thought I’ve read some records of someone who intentionally moved Psilocybes from back east to the west before ovoids were even described. When ovoid first started getting noticed on the west coast a lot of people thought they were subaeruginascens.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share this little experiment with you.
I had a bunch of heavily bacterial wavy caps spawn jars laying around (I tried to clean the agar culture with cabin sequestering, but maybe it wasn't enough) and, instead of throwing them in the garbage, I'm trying to create an outdoor patch just like Asante's one.
So I pasteurized some hardwood briquettes with boiling water and, when cooled down, mixed them with spawn inside 2 shoeboxes. Some pics:

Taken on April 5



Taken on April 8



Now, it seems mycelium is growing, but I fear it will stall. Should I care? It's going to get buried in my garden, I thought 100% colonization was not needed but I'd like to hear from you.

This slime mold is aggressive, it's in some of my pots and on the leftover wood debrie left from fermenting that I threw into my patch a few days ago. Summer and draught is coming up soon so hoping that it will kill it off and the ps cyan mycelium that's buried under the dirt/rocks and pots will survive (it still looks extremely healthy).

This slime mold is oddly beautiful though

quick question:

if i grow woodlover and plan to inoculate dowels. can i use agar directly? is there a need to go to grains first?

Grain is not absolutely necessary but it works really well.

Why dowels though? Are you planning to grow woodlovers out of a log?

. Shouldn't make a difference, the problem with putting grain out in the spring is hungry rodents, they'll make of mess of everything to get to the grain. The better the myceliuum has depleted the grain moving into wood or sawdust, the less likely that anything will disturb what you've buried to get at the grain.

Hey LandTrout!
Good to see you around the place and flying high! (And how auspicious for our meeting that I see you on page 907!)

It would go faster with grain. I tried earlier this year to inoculate a qt. Jar of sterilized wood chips with an agar wedge. It did work, very slowly.

It's been nine days since I transfered my agar and woodchips over to more sterilised woodchip and there's been no vigorous activity. Contrastingly I had some subaeruginosa on grain I transfered similarly and that's out of control.

Is that common when not using grain?


--------------------
I eat a few.  should be real tender.  Its tasty.  No starchiness or crunchiness.

Yes. This is exactly what to expect when not using grains. Going to grains first just brings so much more momentum and energy for the mycelium to quickly take to the wood. You will find many examples of this happening in this thread. It's totally possible to skip grains but it comes at considerable cost.

Alrighty then, I'll wait until either complete colonization or stalling and then bury it. Will post updates. Thank you so much!!

Just checked in on the new bed :heart: I was worried about the grain drawing rodents but so far seems good.

I went mushroom hunting in my garden this morning and just noticed these today. 

Today was the fourth day of mild/moderate showers.

April 12 2026

NJ Ovoids





These are the first fruits of this patch, which was made in 2024.  At least one wheel-barrow full of wood chips were dumped on this patch in 2025.  All of the fruits are near the soil interface, on one edge of the patch.

Absolutely beautiful! I love it. Nice work. And I’m sure the strawberries love having them.
