Will Panaeolus grow okay on woodshavings?
I don't have many farms or horsies nearby and I can't drive, so getting hold of good manure might be tricky. However, I do have a wood yard, who work with everything from MDF to mahogany, at the end of my road. Plus, I can think of other uses for the wood shavings, so they'll seem a little less out of place.

I'm in the UK and it seems a bit trickier getting manure than it is in the US. There's compost everywhere, but not much manure.

Panaeolus is an awfully large genus. Perhaps you should decide which species you wish to grow and look into parameters for that species. RR

Sorry, I should have said, cyanescens.
Although I'm also kind of considering Psilocybe azurescens as well.
I'm interested in these two because I've read that they like woodchips, particularly azurescens. And I can probably get hold of bag fulls of wood shavings for free, or next to nothing anyway.
But pretty much all of the information I've read on them is about using a dung / straw mix. I can probably get hold of that if I needed to, but wood shavings would be so much easier. I could literally pick up bag fulls of substrate material within minutes of walking.
I was having a look through your picture gallery, RR. I'm a little bit scared now.

Pan cyans do well on horse manure. Leave the azures until you get a bit more experience under your belt, but yes they're a woodloving species. RR

You are confusing Psilocybe cyanescens with Panaeolus cyanescens.
The second grows on cow dung.
Check wwww.fungifun.org/azurescens for some cultivation hints for woodlovers.
