The Official Semilanceata Thread

These semilanceata have been cultivated from the spores of my summer 2024 collection.

The first flush are those really weird looking straggly fruits because they fruited without a cold shock at around 18-20c - 64-68f and I was talking to another talented cultivator that said he experienced similar fruit abnormalities when he fruited another species in the section at a similar temp range.
Substrate was coir, vermiculite, peat moss, straw pellets and some bentonite clay powder for minerals. I used 5ml LC for 1 quart jar of NSNS millet and spawned them just like you would most other cultivated psilocybe.

First casing was 50/50 peat moss and vermiculite as you can see it ate clean through that casing and I also think the “lack” of casing affected how they fruited too. So I re cased with a peat based compost called Dorman and Walsh and sowed 100% agrostis tenuis seeds on top for added microclimate retention at the surface. I then put them back in the Martha tent for the first flush that gave me somewhat normal looking fruits.

I used agrostis tenuis as it’s the most common grass in my area and when the cake is spent, I plan on burying them back up the mountain that gave me the specimens to work with in the first place.

After the first flush of proper fruits I harvested, swabbed and cloned them. I didn’t think they were even producing spores so I streaked a plate anyway and lo and behold BAM! We have germination from the F1 spores.

After this the tub was put outside in my greenhouse for the future flushes which are the much bigger, more normal looking fruits with actual papilla and some visible spore formation.

I will post more photos as the tub progresses and how they look today also.

I have been keeping a log of this grow to upload when I have compiled all my photos and videos on this subject as I would really like to make these a more commonly cultivated species of around the world and a lot less intimidating for people to attempt.

This is the small write up I made on my inat.
