Hello Nexus!
I have tried All-In-One Cubensis Growkits, changing to Substrate Inoculation, trying Amazonas, Golden Teacher and Mexican. Amazonas was my last grow, it tends to an emotional, top-heavy (translator spitted this out, dont know if its right) trip, wich i did not like so much. Alltough it also made me laugh so hard i cried my eyes out, so all in all ok. Now I want to grow - if possible - exotic Psilocybe-species that one can grow indoor. For that I searched the Net and Spore distributors to distinguish the available and common Species. I will update this List with useful Information I find or you post.
Species:
Psilocybe Cubensis (Thai, Hawaii, Mexican, Equadorian, Cambodian, A+, B+, Z-Strain etc.)
All Cubensis Subspecies grow under the same conditions and all contain roughly the same amount of Psilocybin/Psilocin (~0,7-1,0% of dry material). Cubensis are the easiest to-cultivate mushrooms. My preferred Technique works with pre-sterilized Rye for Mycelium Growth. I inoculate with a disinfected Spore Syringe. After shaking the Bag gently to spread the spores I've putted it in the desired conditions (dark and around 25+°C, indirect heating through heating mat) and wait 2-3 Weeks. The colonized Substrate is being tranfered to 1200ml containers on top of Perlite. On top of the Mycelium you put 1-2cm of moist Vermiculite, put the cap on on the box and put it back to the conditions from before. Max two weeks later you can see the Mycelium grew through the vermiculite, then you can put the boxes into Autoclave Filter-bags. The first Shrooms will need a little over two weeks, then every flush takes approx. 10 days. Per Box and Flush i got about 10-15g fresh shrooms and around 7 Flushes. Drying took place in the dark chamber on a few pieces of paper with light ventilation. This Tek is imo as easy as it gets. Look for a shop that has reasonable prices for -Filter Bags -Containers and -sterilized Rye or other sterilized Substrate. If you clean the Bags and Boxes after they are done you can use them several times, Boxes forever. I'm planing on making a Picturial the next time i grow (Pan Cyan)
Panaeolus or Copelandia Cyanescens
...and its relatives Cambodginiensis and Tropicalis (Synonymes: Cyanescens:'Hawaii,Jamaica'; Cambodginiensis:'Goliath')
Panaeolus / Copelandia Cultivation is simillar to that of Cubensis, with a few important differences. Palaeolus are Dunglovers, grow on Straw and have a high Alkaloid-content. This Species is my next goal. They need Dung and Straw mixed within their substrate and as a casing layer vermiculit (there are other methods of course).
Psilocybe Mexicana
...and its relatives Tampanensis, Atlantis and Galindoi (below)
form Sclerotia (Truffles)
...in/on their Mycelium if being put in the right conditions. It is a hardened Form of Mycelium that contains up to 0,7% of Psilocybin/-cin. Still those Species also grow normal Fruitbodies if put in fruiting conditions. They were known as Philosophers Stones. I haven't yet cultivated them nor further researched them but some friends like this species alot because of its taste, wich some find more pleasant than Cubensis. Their Trip is differently coloured! There are Sclerotia Growkits available.
(Synonymes: Mexicana 'Jalisco'; Tampanensis 'Pollock')
Psilocybe Azurescens
and Cyanescens
...are Woodlovers and suitable for Outdooor Cultivation only, though indoor cultivation might be possible [wiki, 1]. It needs a bed of Woodchips and a cold shock to fruit. Those two Species have the highest Psilocybin Count in the Mushroom World, so it might be worth a try to grow them somewhere outside...
other Psilocybe's
Ovoideocystidiata (Woodlovers, maybe suitable for Indoor-Cultivation)
Beocystis
Semilanceatta
Stuntzii
