Cultivated Psilocybe baeocystis 3

Psilocybe baeocystis cultivated on sterile horse manure outdoors. Spores of this species germinate and grow agonizingly slow on PDA and the colonization speed of manure is not much better. But fruits form relatively quickly after planting outside. Several experimental plots using woodchips (the expected substrate of choice) failed. I can only assume that P. baeocystis is a secondary decomposer of wood chips and does poorly as the primary decomposer.
I'd like to thank mattso and Mjshroomer for providing the original spores from a specimen collected in Washington.
These fruits are from 2nd generation spores collected from a smaller fruiting last Fall. Cultivation information on the Spore Works website will be updated to reflect the new results.
The skirtlike formation on the lower edge of the caps is not normally seen in P. baeocystis. I also saw the same growth happen last year, but only in the first flush. It may be the result of growing in such an overly rich substrate and normalizes after the excessive nutrients are used up. It also may be strain specific. I have another print to work with and see if there are any differences.

Possibly. I haven't seen anything posted about the cultivation of this species anywhere. I grew it last year, so this crop would be at least the second time it has been cultivated. Check the Mushroom pictures forum for another picture of the same mushrooms.

Good lord! Thank you for bumping this and restoring the images.
I've had a jar of Baeo LC sitting on the shelf for several years now just to keep it alive (still a healthy bright white top layer over the LC) as it was a struggle to get to grow from spore at all and I just love Baeos. There is a big pile of rabbit manure and straw that was eaten by coprinus and worms all year I'm even more excited about now. Best to transfer a piece of the top skin now so there is a culture moving enough by spring.
Like all the puzzle pieces are right there.
