This thread was created to take some of the mystery out of growing woodlovers. The process is highly enjoyable and with a little patience, so are the fruits of your labor. The methods demonstrated here can be applied to Psilocybe cyanescens, P. azurescens, P. subaeruginosa and other temperate and tropical woodloving species.
This thread contains four main sections:
I. Building Spawn using Grains II. Creating an Outdoor Bed III. Making a Woodlover Liquid Culture IV. Creating a Fruiting Substrate without Grains

Part I ~ Building wood chip spawn using grains. Supplies needed:
-A tub lined with corrugated cardboard.
-Hardwood chips, I'm using alder, but most hardwoods will work. To prepare the wood chips, soak them overnite in bleach water (1.25 tbsp bleach per gallon.) They do not need to be pasteurized or sterilized.
-4 jars of spawn. I used the standard PF Tek recipe. (But other grains can also be used.)
