My first Caerulipes.. [merged] - Page 2

waylitjim · 03-18-07, 11:56

Congrats Golly!

There's only a handful of people who've cultivated Psilocybe caerulipes. You are now one of them! Your patience and dedication is honorable.

Foster · 03-18-07, 11:56

Wow! Looks like they like it pretty damp. Great work! Surprisingly my tray looks pretty good this time. Have you had a chance to test these yet? hehe! foster

SharkieJones · 03-18-07, 12:00

Congrats Golly Impressive!

golly · 03-18-07, 19:21

Thanx for the kind words...
The fruit take a bit longer than Cubes to mature , proly harvest the first ones tmrw..I'll test for potency Wed or Sat..

Gluk with your grows guys ...patience and fresh air seem to be the key players,,the myc is quite tough and aggressive ,so it doesn't have to be coddled...

Cool..!.This cluster is about 7 days old and i'm trying to print em now..

Also making some clones for a new outdoor patch..

Lazlo · 03-21-07, 10:16

Nice stuff man! Very nice.

Any kind of odd steps to the fruiting process?

golly · 03-21-07, 17:40

Not really Laz..The one tub that i put in the freezer is the one that has not fruited yet...I think they just need time to engulf the wood chips..the temps have generally been warming over the last few weeks and proly stimulated
fruiting..

I have 3 fresh prints to give away, to any one who has posted in this thread
so far... [1 each] ...Just briefly tell how u want to grow em...

So the first 3 peeps gets m'

As more become available, i will offer them too...

CoyoteMesc · 03-21-07, 23:20

I'd like to say,
I think my post got deleted?

jk
Man, good luck for those that earn the
prints

lol

Foster · 03-21-07, 23:20

What a kind offer golly! I hope whomever takes you up on it, and has a fruitful experience. Atm, all stocked up here. However.... hehe.. at a later time....or when you have extras, you may hear from me lol.

I'm Sooo happy to see a succesful attempt at these

! Inspiring for sure!

2 slightly contaminated (wet spot, and a lil lipstick or purple mold) jars of rye, hickory chips, and birch toothpicks were spawned to an outdoor bed today.

The bed was prepped beneath a rhododendron last fall. It contains a mixture of castings, top soil, and hickory wood chips.

Nice rhizo myc being txferred to agar plate tonight.

foster

mycobri · 03-21-07, 23:38

that is very nice of you!
have a half print still and it seems pretty clean

let us know how they are!

joey_megabucks · 03-22-07, 01:06

awesome work. great job

llamabox · 03-22-07, 03:15

Man...how can I be so happy for you and depressed at the same time? I have never recieved fruits for my labors and that is even trying the transfer outdoor myc trick.

But I know now half of my problem was lack of fresh air, so maybe I will try again.

golly · 03-22-07, 07:53

U need prints Llama..? they should be pretty clean....I only used free standing caps....I couldn't have done it with out your donation...

llamabox · 03-22-07, 08:06

No, but thanks for the offer. I think I have 1-2 laying in the fridge.

golly · 03-22-07, 08:34

OK ,then i''ll open this offer to the rest of the Forum - all u need is 200 posts to qualify...
Here's the first tub i made up in November with Flax growing..About 7 pins showing on top + a few down below so far...

CoyoteMesc · 03-22-07, 09:00

Hey Golly,
I would like to get one and start it on agar(what recipe would fit these well?) then
spawn it to some ground birch and/or maple.
after that colonizes I would like to do a tek similar to this
http://forums.mycotopia.net/showthread.php?t=7476 (Psilocybe caerulipes)
by mushpuppet, posted be Waylit.

Do you think that pasteurizing the river sand would be a benefit?

golly · 03-22-07, 09:34

U got one Coyote..PM yer addy...
Any of the usual Agar formulas should work ,although have not tried with these..
You should be able to go direct to spawn too ,,,Whole grain flour coated wood chips, or even PF tec to start..
Any of the softer hardwoods should colo fast ,but did read one report about Aspen not working...

CoyoteMesc · 03-22-07, 10:03

pm sent,
Thanks so much.

any opinion on the pasteurizing

03-22-07, 10:10

*droooooools*

golly · 03-25-07, 09:42

CM/Foster, prints have been sent...

Well the first taste test is in...1gram produced a buzz slightly stronger than a
Cube,maybe 1.3 X ...The main difference is the smooth and pleasant body effect ,A more sophisticated [for lack of a better word] experience..
Good light visuals..Definately worth exploring more deeply..heh...

I have noticed that pinning occurs more with sub temps in the 60s..Cause when i brought a couple indoors where it's 74F ,no new pins formed until i moved em back out in the cooler GH...Could be a co-inkydink but may be worth trying ..

CoyoteMesc · 03-25-07, 10:10

*temps noted*

Quote:

Sounds like Mermaidia may love that...

So was that dried or 13grams fresh?
I'm assuming dried.

al-cabar · 03-25-07, 10:28

Err.. Looks like I'm kinda late, yet I've send a request for a print 2 weeks ago.
I was going to make a plantation of Caerulipes in the nearby forest.
And I've already chopped a cherry-tree to use it as a substrate!

Foster · 03-25-07, 12:10

Cool Golly! Pinning info noted. Mother Nature must be listening too. Temps being a lil warmer than usual, seem perfect for colonization atm, and will hopefully drop back to normal for a nice pinning enviroment. great stuff

foster

max · 03-25-07, 12:47

I'll just mention that we still have this specie available at the SporeLab. I don't know if any other vendors have it or not....

golly · 03-25-07, 13:17

That was 1 dry gram CM...No blueing was noted on cut stems,so they maybe good keepers...
The temp in the outdoor bed is near 55F now, so i'm thinking around mid April they may begin popp'n...

mycobri · 03-25-07, 15:27

were those mini-tubs exposed to rainwater at all?

i'm loving that last picture of the fully opened caps

golly · 03-25-07, 17:35

just untreated pond water ...

waylitjim · 03-25-07, 18:00

Those are beautiful specimens Golly!
You do good work my friend.

golly · 03-27-07, 20:08

Just a pic of tall one and a dark one..The stem bends to the right at the bottom ,making it almost 7" long...

Freaky · 03-27-07, 20:37

Thank you for sharing this Golly! You're amazing!

CoyoteMesc · 03-27-07, 22:44

Golly, do you think that it would be worth my time to iso. my print on agar first. Or would that just be a bit of a waist.
Also if I do use a dish, should I sector it the same as pans or cubies? I know this may sound like a dumb question and my guess would be to treat it the same. But I have never worked with a wood/cold loving species

golly · 03-28-07, 07:42

I would recommend using a small part of the print for direct grain spawn culture and an even smaller [tiny] amount for agar..
Yes , sector out the most agressive myc for expantion...The prints should be fairly clean...I went direct to spawn with no problem...

It's my opinion that fruiting would be enhanced by cloning/ isolation ..With cloning being the most reliable method..

dial8 · 03-28-07, 09:39

Wow, golly, I'm really impressed. Beautiful grow and beautiful fruit!

03-28-07, 10:07

very cool mushrooms you have there golly!

golly · 04-01-07, 10:04

The new clones seem to be taking off , on wood mulch and cardboard...

Tried another dose ,this time 1.25g and was much stronger in effect.
Equal to 3 grams o' Cubes..

..Again, a very nice, tight trip that does not linger on, like with Panaeolus...

llamabox · 04-01-07, 11:52

Hey Golly, I have taken up to 4-5 grams dried of the bluefoots and have found they are still quite mellow, "sophisticated", at these high doses.

golly · 04-01-07, 12:45

Heh ..Don't think i'll be going there any time soon, thinking 1.5g would be a perfect dose for a short, brilliant colorfull adventure..
The flavour is very similar to Cubes but not as strong...
