Method to glut the world with psillys PICS
    #5530174 - 04/18/06 04:43 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I am new here but I have cultivated cubensis for a long time. It has been about 15 years now since I have grown psillys. I am now sharing my trade secrets. After reading this website today and posting a little. I notice that most of you are stuck using jars and small fruiting chambers indoors. It seems like such a waste that you have gotten that far only to fruit those dinky jars. I am going to tell you now how to grow forests of psillies outdoors with very little work.
First start a small garden and plant a few rows of corn. It should be late spring or early summer. If you can grow corn then you can grow mushrooms too. They like the same temps. You should have a watering system with misters and risers to fine mist your crop at least four times a day. Do not mist at night and late in the afternoon to prevent rotting your beds.

I use grain spawn that I made in my little lab. Pour a cup of spawn in a small clean aluminum tray and case it. Cover the tray with foil and let the mushroom grow through the casing. Do not fruit the cakes. They are the starter for your mega crop.
Buy a light duty electric shredder or rent a shredder to shred bales of straw. Small shredders can be bought for about $200.00. Shred a bale of clean wheat straw and store it in bags. There is no need to pastuerize the straw. This will save you a lot of work. Most growers still pastuerize but I never did with great success. Soak the shredded wheat straw overnight in large wire baskets in garbage cans and let it drain. Put the baskets of soaked straw up on a sawhorse and leach or rinse with a garden hose until the water is coming out is clear. Spread the straw out between the corn rows like mulch about four to six inches thick. The mushroom cakes you make are growing vigorously and will rapidly colonize the straw. Place your mushroom cakes on the straw and cover them about two more inches with more soaked leached straw .
Conceal your crop as it appears with a light layer of shredded straw. No need to clean and leach the cover straw. The cover straw will provide humidity tents to create a microclimate that promotes growth. The cakes you made will grow into the straw and colonize the whole bed. The mushroom will actually grow into the soil below too.
Using this method you will have giant forests of giant mushrooms and pounds and pounds of dry mushrooms. Every afternoon when you come home you will have to spend at least an hour harvesting.
I dry mine in the sun on large racks that I put on the roof. They dry in 3 days in the hot sun. I have had no complaints with loss of potency from sun drying. I don't like to eat psillys myself.

Boy this forum is busy. Here are some pics I dredged up from the olden days

That would be fun, but might draw some attention. Planting corn, drying on the roof. I'll just keep to my indoor green houses and dehydrators :thumbup: Besides, the window of oppurtunity for outdoor cult. in my area isn't all that long.
