Psilocybe cearulipes indoor fruiting

llamabox · 07-05-06, 07:07

The might hunter is helping with indoor grows as well. Take a look.

Ps. these are not mine...

" This is really more an intuitive than scientific experiment, and quite frankly I'm surprised it worked.

P. caerulipes fruits in the Spring from late April to early June. It's natural habitat is woody debris buried in sandy loam along steam banks.

This grow is an attempt to simulate a hard Winter, followed by a Spring thaw, which produces a flood, which picks up colonized wood, and buries it in mud along the stream bank.

It has been very mild here this winter. We did have a few freezing days in early December, but since then the mercury has rarely fallen below freezing.

First, I collected the wild mycelium and put it in the freezer in a plastic bag. The next morning, when I took it out, it was frozen solid; in fact, I was worried that I may have killed it, but I figured if it could survive being frozen in the wild, then perhaps it could survive my freezer.

When I picked up the myc, I also collected a bag full of sandy river mud.

To ensure good drainage, like what would be found in the wild, I melted about twenty holes in the bottom of each glad-ware dish by heating a nail with a candle and then sticking it through the bottom.

I then put about an inch of river sand/mud in the the bottom of each dish, followed by about an inch of frozen colonized wood chips/sticks. I then cased with another 1/2 inch of sand/mud on top.

Next I gave it a thorough soaking with cold tap water to wash mud into the empty spaces around the substrate. Then I placed the dishes in a tub humidified by wet orchid moss (I think this works better than perlite, more surface area), kept it at room temperature near a window, and fanned and misted several times daily. After about ten days, pins!"

Thanks for spreading prints around llamabox

SharkieJones · 07-05-06, 12:08

Nice pics, I love em.

llamabox · 07-05-06, 13:18

Gutzman says they might not be cearulipes though...

BennyBlanco · 07-05-06, 13:37

yeah nice thread!!

cheech · 07-05-06, 18:07

well, whatever they are you sure did a fine job mimicking mother nature.
great work llamabox!!

mycobri · 07-05-06, 22:42

great work. are ps.caerula, ps. caerulescens and ps. caerulipes very similar to each other?

Damn!

SquishFace · 11-12-06, 07:21

Wow That is amazing llama

u da man, llamabox

llamabox · 11-12-06, 09:28

The grower who did this is in the process of of doing another grow of this type. He asked that I delay posting it till the experiment is complete.

But here is a little teaser.......

"Last year I cased some containers and did not case others, and both performed equally well, so this year I am doing away with the casing layer. These mushrooms naturally fruit in the Spring, so last year I placed the substrate in the freezer over-night to simulate winter, but after the experiment was over I found mushrooms growing from a bag of leftover substrate that had been forgotten in the closet and had not been frozen. In this experiment I am freezing one container and not freezing two others to see if that step is necessary."

Very neat experiment !

Can't wait to start with this one aswell !

Thanks for posting this llamabox !

dial8 · 11-13-06, 09:28

O how would you rate the difficulty, llama? Easy to fruit or moderate or difficult?

waylitjim · 11-13-06, 11:48

I think llama is just sharing the pics and info.

The grow was originally done by Mushpuppet.

He may be the first to cultivate Bluefoot.

dial8 · 11-13-06, 13:40

By the abundance of fruit I'm guessing moderate? Seems like really diffficult ones produce smaller flushes but I could be wrong.

bluebayou · 02-23-09, 13:28

Those are probably
Psilocybe.ovoideocystidiata Note the annulus ring.

Workman · 02-23-09, 13:43

Definately, this is an old thread and at the time the species wasn't pinned down.

dial8 · 02-23-09, 14:22

Yeah this was all covered in this thread

Wow, awesome pinset...how can I do it?! =P
You think that the substrate gave you this great flush?

Congrats
