Psilocybe Semilanceata INDOOR mycobag grow

[CaptainFuture]

Psilocybe Semilanceata Unicorn Mycobag culture.
- multispore Culture from Spores taken from the wild 2008 (germany, near Cologne).
- rye grain spawn (30days)
- Sterilized (2,5hrs.) substrate mix: Chopped straw 40%, straw pellets 30%, Horse manure 15%, Grass Seed (div. called 'Spiel & Sportrasen') 15% (45 days)
- (Very thin) casing layer: Pot Flower Soil & Cocohum pasteurized
- Temperatures: spawn 27-28 Degr. Celsius, fruiting 15-17 Degr. Celsius
- Pins 25days after casing was applied.

The fruits are far away from successful but I wanted to share it anyway. Got some fruits from a clone culture grow from early this year. They looked the same like these. This culture is multispore. The only one fruiting from 4 simultanously started cultures.
We'll see if the bag will continue fruiting. It seems a bit to wet, but thats all I could say. It's fanned twice a day and is grown within the typical CF plastic boxes with holes which are plugged with synthetic cotton.

And here are some very strange fruitbodies from this years Semilanceata outdoor finds.

[Om shanti]

Awesome, great work, Captain!!

And I guess, these are for consumption and not the compost?!!

[hyphaenation]

Groundbreaking ... pun intended !



The first indoor liberty caps i've ever had the pleasure to see , thanks.

[Dr.Hallucination.]

Simply amazing CaptainFuture

[CaptainFuture]

Please hold your horses. I am really not satisfied.
Thats not what I wanted to see. Remember Workmans indoor grow?

I want to see normal fruits and lots of them

I am hoping for more. And I will clone that strain for sure. And I did a fresh clone from wild 2009 specimen as well.

But it seems like this is not a strain related problem. Could be the substrate or the moisture level. Perhaps it's the fresh air.
I hope for a few words from WM himself.

[P4ulada]

Just awesome job!
I´ll definitely try it other day

[teesus]

[CaptainFuture]

[Lazlo]

Good grief! You're one of the top cultivators around. If not the top. Nice stuff! Everything you touch, turns out nicely.

[copelandiaKidd]

[waylitjim]

You are one patient man. I truly appreciate your fascination and determination with exotic psilocybes. Not only are you dedicated, but you get results. I have great respect for your work.

How did you attain it? Did you use a refrigerator or grovboks moved in a cool place(underground)?

Thanks for amazing report, very intresting
Maybe, on the top of Arhive?

[ethnobotanica]

I have a vaulted cellar in my house where temps are always between 13-16Degr. Celsius.

[kocos]

You keep on amazing me man and i think just about everyone else! Like Waylit said not only do you talk about it but you make it happen
Keep up the great work

[CaptainFuture]

The culture is lost to mold, sorry. No 2nd flush.
But there is a fruitbody which will be cloned tomorrow to safe these indoor fruiting strain...

[mullugh]

Keep going. First time I have seen this. You have done what many before have failed. Its a dream of mine to have these on my lawn. I was thinking of digging up some ground from a wild patch and transferring to my garden, but I don't know if this will work?

Anyone tried that?

[CaptainFuture]

I am trying this as well. According to Dr. J. Gartz you have to grow big amounts spawn and then bury it in a shady place in your garden. Place the grass on it and keep it moist. The following year you'll have fruits if you're successful. You have to use a fruiting strain for sure.

This is pretty much how I did it,and yes use lots of spawn.I used over a dozen quarts of spawn for my small outdoor patch.You can put your patch in the ground as soon as the threat of frost is gone.The only thing is,once the patch heals,there is no way to know if the grain has recovered and started to colonize,or if it just died.You have to wait all year,then check it regularly when the season arrives.I had minimal success this year with mine,but I see areas in which I can improve my outdoor bed next time around.
Also transplanting is another option,and I have found that it does work and rather well.You can cut out a known patch,and transplant to a new spot.Make sure you cut enough soil around and under the patch,and be as careful as you can while moving it.It is not a guarantee,but it can and does work...

Gartz used (and I'll will do so, too) spawn made from a straw/manure mix.
Might be more safe since grain would be more easily attacked by molds.

Sounds promising,looking forward to it for sure.
