So a couple months ago I stumbled into a wild patch of p. Cyanescens and scooped up a small portion of the mycelium. It completely colonized the little tube I had it in, so I moved it to a larger tub with fresh wood chips. Once this bucket is fully colonized an I put it outdoors, will I be seeing any fruiting cone fall?

Update

New to this “side” of mycology. Was wondering if any magic mushrooms would be fruiting in the next couple of weeks (may-June) (UK)

Psilocybe Subaeruginosa

Hello, is it possible to generate psilocybe cyanescens liquid culture to use for spraying on wood chip piles?

Psilocybe cyanescens Liquid culture? 

Attention all mushroom munching psilonauts…this survey study is focused on systematically investigating the subjective effects attributed to different psilocybin mushroom species. The survey is anonymous and should only take a few minutes of your time.

Our goal is to enhance the scientific understanding of these experiences and their potential variations across species, with a focus on commonly-used, psilocybin-containing mushrooms.

Research Objectives: This study seeks to identify patterns and distinctions in the subjective experiences elicited by various psilocybin mushroom species, addressing questions such as: Do different species cause different subjective effects? Do certain effects always co-occur? Are there a set of clusters into which we can group species depending on their effects? And many more! Your input as an experienced user is critical in enabling us to discern these patterns, contributing to a more nuanced understanding in the field of fungal psychopharmacology. This is especially the case for those of you experienced with species that are less frequently used.

Your Participation: In the following, we will present you with a list of psychoactive mushroom species/varieties and ask you to select those species that you have used at least once in the past 12 months. For each of those species, we will then ask specific questions to capture the qualitative aspects of your typical experience with this species. This includes sensory perceptions, cognitive changes, and emotional responses you associate with each species.

Are there any risks? What happens to the information I provide?

We do not expect that your participation in the study will expose you to more psychological distress than you experience in your daily life. You will not be asked for information that would identify you beyond beyond reasonable doubt. Demographic information assessed will be minimal, and you are free to skip these questions. To ensure full anonymity, no further identifying information (e.g., IP-addresses, operating system, browser info) will be saved by Qualtrics. If you change your mind about participating in the study, you are free to leave the study at any time (by closing the browser window) without providing any reason.

Your responses may be used by the research team for data analysis, shared with other researchers, or made available to other researchers in an online data repository. Please note that once you have fully completed participation in the study, your data cannot be identified and therefore cannot be withdrawn. If you have serious concerns about the ethical conduct of this study, please inform the University of Zurich Ethics Committee in writing, detailing your concerns.

Link to survey is below...all & any feedback & sharing of the survey is much appreciated 🍄🙏🙂

Anonymous survey seeks brief feedback on people's experiences with different psilocybin mushroom species

I wasnt 100% sure it was a real thing or that it only happened to certain people.  But my body just stopped cooperating with me.  Tried to grab my phone and just threw gang signs. I couldn’t walk for a couple hours.   I could move, just not the way I was trying to.    I’m completely fine now.  That was an interesting experience for sure.  I’m glad I was aware of WLP, it would have been scary af if I didn’t know what was going on or if it would go away.

I got WLP!

I found a patch of wild p. Cyanescens an scooped up a small bit of the mycelium and would like to start a small patch behind my house. I was thinking about using wood shaving(pet bedding) to germ this little bit into and then cover with a bag of pre soaked mulch. Am I on the right track? Or am I doomed to fail? I live in modesto ca if that helps.

Trying to transplant some wild mycelium 

I buried some spawn 2 weeks ago and so far the mycelium is looking healthy but it's starting to get hot do you think the patch will survive?

I buried some ps. Cyans in Texas will it work?

Did I find Psilocybe cyanescens?

I found these and they seems like wavy caps, I even removed/bruised one (sorry mother nature) to help you helping me to figure if they really are wavy caps. Thanks in advance!

Are these wavy caps?

I read that PC is one of the few cubes that can be cultivated outdoors. Anyone have personal experience?

I also found these Cyans in a mulch bed right outside!

Cyanesis

Hi everyone! First time foraging for mushrooms and got lucky with finding multiple Psilocybe Cyans patches. I’m located in the Seattle area and want to learn how to grow a home patch. I don’t have a yard but I do have clear bins. Bought some Alder chips and letting them ferment. Do any of you guys have any tips? Also I’ve been leaving the stem butts in the ground but with some came out with Mycelium. I cut the butts and placed them in other wood piles nearby. Is that the correct way to do it? Can I grab some wood chips from the present patches I’ve found and propagate them in pots or bins?

Home Patch

When harvesting your shrooms don't pull the entire specimen out root and all leave the root ball so as to insure continual future harvesting.

I am trying to find some wavies in West Sussex, Brighton area. 

Is anyone able to help me start being successful?

is it cyans? tnx

The first picture doesn’t do justice to how chunky that cap is,  it not major but it looks bigger in person (that would be a sad caption for a dick pick)   I’m not seeing a whole lot anymore but they are holding on

There not done just yet!

Do cyans require sunlight to fruit? I tend to avoid spots that are fully shaded when foraging, but have no basis for this. Does anybody have experience finding them in heavily shaded areas with minimal to no sunlight?

Do cyans prefer sunlight over shade?

Heyo this is my first time ever finding (what I think are…) cyanescens. If anyone could help me in IDing that would be a huge help :)

When are they too old?

Found while playing pickleball

I found cyans after the first frost of the year. They were frozen and snapped easily as I picked them. When I got home I put them in the freezer for preservation since I assumed as that if allowed to thaw they would rot quickly.

Since these are hard to find in my part of the world I would like to plant some outside using the naturalised transfer method. I have a book which describes how to do this in detail bit my question is: will the spawn be viable after freezing?
