Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! How do these beauties compare to Liberty caps in potency, energy and spirit?

Lovely pictures!
It's particularly interesting that P. bohemica grows out of solid logs. This would be a fun one to cultivate.

Wow what beautiful mushrooms, great work with your camera.
You can see the mycelium under the green mold on that log, really interesting to see and a great find!!!

I added another picture. The one showing the stems and caps from the underside.
They are more potent than liberty caps. I have not tried a solid dose yet with these mushrooms. However I did try microdosing. A 1/4 of the normal cap was more than enough for that purpose. I find they have an uplifting spirit, similar to liberty caps in the microdose range. Much better than P. cubensis IME. Cubensis was much heavier for me compared to P. serbica/bohemica and P. semilanceata.dithyramb said:
I have plans to try and cultivate those mushrooms. Also I plan to report and how it goes here on the DMT-nexus. They grow well from the already decayed logs where only cellulose remains. Also they grow from the wood debris mixed with the soil.downwardsfromzero said:
The mycelia seems very strong therefore I belive it would be quite easy to clone and replicate from mycorizza.
I hate to do the "uhm actually", but i cannot stop myself. Actually, Psilocybe species don't form mycorizza.
Anyhow, keep us posted on how the cultivation efforts go. i am very intrigued by this species.

Well spotted, I'm sure our friend meant to write "rhizomorphic mycelium" - perhaps mycorrhiza has been a trendy term of late so I can see how this may have influenced @Prima Materia's thinking.
And yes, we do need to see some culivation logs - of both kinds!
i recently gor some spores and started cultivating. innoculated some lc yesterday. will keep u posted here or in a new thread
That's awesome news! I'd be very interested to see just how close to P. cyanescens this will turn out to be, since there are claims that all three are conspecific (i.e., essentially the same.)
Do you have prior experience of cultivating lignicolous psilocybe species?
I have run Psilocybe cyanescens, but they did not fruit last fall (or i missed it).
What do you mean with "all three"? what i heard is that there is Psilocybe subaeruginosa from Australia, in the somewhat deep past they migrated to north america, when MAGA was not a thing. The north American species were initially described as Psilocybe azurescens and P. cyanescens. Since gene sequencing has shown that there appears to be no mayor difference beweent those three, some consider them conspecific. Psilocybe serbica is a woodlover, but branched off way earlier, just like Psilocybe allenii, Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata, Psilocybe caerulescens (tropical) and some more for that matter.
There are lots of Psilocybe species that eat wood, but only a few are well known because of ease of cultivation and rarity. I dont wonder why people don't know about Psilocybe turficola, it's really rare.

I was referring to the thread title: P. bohemica, serbica, and cyanescens being the three (or one). [From a European perspective, at least - North American cyanescens appears to be distinct when viewed microscopically.] And I ought to brush up on things mycological, really, since presumably there have been consicerable advances in molecular phylogenetics and clade analysis since I last looked. Where might one find a current summary?
Sorry to hear you didn't get anything from your cyanescens last season. Have you fed them with fresh woody material?
