Nice presentation; thankyou, Caine and Enthoegenesis Australis . The whole shroom ID/ harm reduction playlist here on this channel is a useful resource along with the various books and websites being recommended. Cheers! ✌🍄
Where would I source the ID flips you reference? I’ve been an avid forager in S.A. Since the mid 90’s so know exactly what to select but I’ve been introducing this to friends and they would be useful indeed. This year I’ve just started to grow at home from following your guide. Two weeks in and so far so good
Section _cyanescens_ mushrooms in the genus _Psilocye_ are extremely easy to clone. No agar plates required. Cut off a section of egg carton (the carboard material sort), soak it until thoroughly hydrated, slice off a piece of the stipe (especially the base of the stipe) or the cap, place it in the wet egg carton section, place that inside a plastic Ziploc bag to hold in moisture. Keep in room temperature. Mycelium will begin to rapidly colonize the carton material, looking for a more nutritious substrate. Once myceliated, the section of carton can be placed in a container of hardwood chips (all wood-lovers will happily eat oak, maple, apple, alder, etc), in a container of hardwood sawdust first, directly into a prepared outdoor bed, or to a well-considered location outdoors (preferably relatively fresh wood chips, to minimize competition with other species). The jump from the egg carton to wood will be a bit slow initially. Some kinds of coniferous wood will work as well (especially if it has been rained on for a season) -- if in N. America, Douglas Fir chips ( _Pseudotsuga menziesii_ ) are regularly colonized. In Australia (and NZ, I think), _Pinus radiata_ debris and chip beds are known to host _Ps.subaeruginosa_ (and _Ps. weraroa_ ?) But hardwoods are a safe bet.
To my knowledge, _Ps. cyanescens,_ _Ps. allenii_ and _Ps. azurescens_ are genetically distinguishable from _Ps. subaeruginosa._ Azzies are certainly quite distinct from subs macroscopically. If they do directly descend from subs, perhaps its a founder effect situation, with these species in N. America (and Europe) being a small genetic subset of subs. In the case of Azzies, their range clusters tightly around the mouth of the Columbia River, being the border between the states of Oregon and Washington. Azzies are by far most comonly found in invasive European beech grass -- so maybe theres a clue there as to how Subs got to N. America, if that's indeed what happened.

Hit 👆 him up for more info too
Fantastic video Caine & EGA 🍄

Him 👆 him for more info.. He can help
How did you go? I have heard subs are difficult to G at home, happy hunting. Peace!
@@MrRecklessryan would love to know also. SA subs are next level.
Another great video Caine!
I'm also down in the south if Tassy, do you do foraging groups at all?
I think Caine based in Melbourne but in Tasmania often for family reasons. I suggest email him as he may not see the message here.

Are there any foraging groups in Brisbane?
Yea Hit 👆 him up
Same

Nope.
Thanks Cain. Sorry to hear about your dad
