I was thinking something more purposeful.
I was going to put down some decorative landscape woodchip beds with edging. And do something to make the environment better... Like some sort of mist system and some sort of row cover. I want it to be a decorative landscape feature. I want it to crush mushies year round
I'm just trying to think of how to make the row cover look cool. Or maybe instead of a row cover it can just be like an awning

Don't bother trying woodlovers like P. azurescens or P. cyanescens indoors. Just dig a hole in a shaded spot in
early Spring and line the bottom with cardboard. Add your wood spawn and cover with up to an inch of soil
and straw mixture. Water once a week if it doesn't rain. Once temps drop in late September to November
you should find some nice surprises if it worked out.

You ain’t kidding. They grow fast. Found myself checking them twice a day. At nearly every check I was picking at least one. Definitely not practical to harvest at veil tear - you'd need to check hourly. Thanks for the info.
Why not indoors? What’s the biggest obstacle to indoor success?
Second Flush, day 8:
GT sure fruits faster than PE. Got some bulk substrate and grain spawn bags to give mono-tub a go. Hope to inoculate later today. Been having fun...
Thoughts on potency of fresh vs. dried? Ate a couple fresh off the cake and wasn't even able to operate the remote control
Only did that once but it was more intense than dried. Also, aborts. I have read that aborts if picked in time can be eaten just like mature shrooms. But supposedly a fine line of picking them before the cap goes black. In cleaning out the bottom of the dehydrator I had a mix of really small shrooms and aborts. They weighed ~ 2g. My scale measures to the whole gram. After really looking them over I separated out some that I was leery about eating. What was left was less than a gram as it did not even register on the scale. I tripped balls, hard. 3g of GT came nowhere near the intensity, or an unweighed amount of PE that was at least a couple grams. That little bit of leftovers was meant to be a micro dose but it quickly changed my plans for the day.

I'm glad your hard work paid off and youre having fun with the results.
Sadly my brother just infirmed me that the fsre is off the net. The guys must have been raided or something else happened. So, no more 1dollar spore prints..spewing

Does anyone know where to get good cyanesis spore prints? I should have saved some from last year.

They need cold weather to fruit unlike the P. cubensis and many people have tried with little success.

i love this info.......cant get enough of this information on this stuff. im growing some lions mane mushrooms right now(i know i wish i had the good ones) but i bought a spore kit with the lions mane and there going very well.

Really enjoying the thread, been wanting to try growing some mushrooms.

Maybe it’s more an issue of maintaining proper humidity and not necessarily cold temps... (?) I was looking at some beverage fridges with glass doors and found differing temp ranges. (I figured if it doesn’t work at least I’d have a kick-ass beer fridge for the basement.
) But the range of temps available got me thinking about my 1.6 cu.ft. Igloo mini fridge that I use for seed storage. Set it to the coldest setting and put a temp/humidity meter in there. I’ve been watching for a week now and have never seen temp over 35º but humidity is always in the 40% range. From what I understand temp needs to be under 40º for them to fruit. So seems like my seed fridge could pull that off - but it's too small. Still may get one of the fancy glass door ones... some even have white lights... GT v. PE
There’s definitely a difference between GT and PE. So ‘a cube is a cube is a cube’ does not apply in my experience; but the added ‘unless it’s PE’ just may. But obviously will need to experience others to know for sure, but I suspect there would be notable differences from cube to cube.
So is PE more potent than GT? I have found this to be the case. But they’re different in effect so it’s probably more about preference of effect than anything else. I find GT provides much better visuals. If kaleidoscope type visuals and a more socially functioning body are preferred then GT would be the better choice. I found PE to not be as visual and to be much heavier in body effect with an overall darker vibe. And it has more of a steady state to it whereas GT comes and goes in waves. With PE it’s more as though everything is breathing with vibration but not as shifting and moving as GT. 3g of GT was nowhere near as intense as nearly 4g of PE - but much more visually stimulating/appealing. Since my scale only measures to the whole gram I put enough on it until it read 4g and then removed the smallest shrooms so that it read 3g so that I knew it was just under 4g. This was probably a bit much as a couple hours were lost in a non-functioning state and not sure if curling up in the fetal position just seemed like a good idea, or if I actually did it.
Lack of consistency in potency/experience of either though is probably one of the biggest drawbacks. Even when taking small amounts it's best to have no plans. I only weighed the first flush. I ended up with 22g of PE and 13g of GT from that first flush. Seems folks often say that you shouldn’t start with PE as growing it requires a bit of experience. I think someone even said as much in this thread. Well, it was PE that colonized best for me and obviously did better yield wise so not sure if I just had beginner’s luck or what. The third flush produced what visually looked to be the heaviest PE shroom. It weighed 12g fresh and 1g dried. They say they’re 90% water, found that to be the case. Thought about burying the cakes in the yard after the third flush as I have read that doing so sometimes will result in a mushroom patch. But since I do not have anything colonized and ready to fruit yet, I started a fourth flush yesterday - interested to see how many pop. I am a little over two weeks from having inoculated a spawn bag with the rest of GT. I am yet to see any action but supposedly any signs of success are slower to show in spawn bags. I also split a syringe of Purple Mystic between two spawn bags last Saturday. It's one that also makes claims of greater potency.
A word of caution: be careful with your alcohol consumption. This may especially be true with PE with its heavier body. I will spare myself the embarrassment of sharing how I came to shy away from mixing the two in any great quantity.
Oh, and the nearly incessant yawning can be annoying. A side-effect I hadn't read about but being curious about it did some searching - apparently it's common.
I don't know about the PE being less visual. I tend to eat around 7 to 10 grams. And lay with eyes closed essentially in the same place DMT takes me.
As for cubes other than PE. I think they all vary a little between the degree of body or visual high in little doses. But if eaten enough they all take you to the same place.
And not exactly like DMT. More like going to a drive in movie on the inside of your eyelids that is showing you DMT land. While on DMT you are there. On mushrooms you can still get up and navigate your way to a bathroom if needed.
