Psilocybe cubensis [Amazonian] on straw, cased with coir/verm.

#719804 - 07/03/02 08:11 AM (21 years, 3 months ago)

So, I finally got around to write this up to go with my friends pictures

25th May.
inoculated ? litre of finch seed, in 1 litre jar. Birdseed PC?d for 1 hour. Tyvek filter on lid, hole size of a penny in lid. inoculation multispore, syringe made from Amazonian print obtained from www.mushmush.nl.

9th June.
Jar of birdseed fully colonised for a few days.
Filled large oven bag (turkey size with holes punched in) with chopped wheat straw. Brought large pan of water to 170F. Lowered bag of straw into water, keeping top open (allows water into bag). Once bag full of water, bag closed with rubber band. Small brick placed on bag to submerge. Water brought up to 170F and timer started for 1 hour.
Straw hung to drain (water kept for future use).
Straw cool, wipe rubbermaid container with alcohol (size approx 16" x 14" x 11" deep).
Thin layer of straw put into container followed by some colonised birdseed, followed by thin layer of straw, then birdseed, etc until layer approx 5".
Straw covered with plastic food film, holes punched, edges tucked around straw. Lid put onto container and left at room temperature to colonise.

16th June
Fully colonised straw:

To this a layer of cococoir and 30% vermiculite were added to a depth of roughly ?inch. A homemade lid is now put on, and covered with newspaper (to keep it dark):

21st June.
Some surface colonisation:

24th June
Fully colonised suface:

The newspaper is now removed, and fanning takes place twice a day.

3rd July.

4 days after pins appeared:

As you can see, minimal materials are required. No terranium, no humidity gauge etc. Just an oven bag, a jar of colonised grain, a rubbermaid, some straw and casing material.
The container is kept with the homemade lid on throughout fruiting, at room temperature (roughly 70F).

Good luck
