Psilocybe Hoogshagenii aka Pajaritos de monte "little bird of the woods" The Mix of southeastern Oaxaca consider this species extremely wise, referring to it as atka:t, or "Judge." also translated as "mayor". Info from "The ones that Stain Blue". A link to a brief description from the site stainblue.com
It grows solitary to gregariously in muddy clay soils in subtropical coffee plantations. Found in June and July in Mexico (puebla, Oaxaca, and Chiapas) and in February in Argentinia. Also reported from Brazil to Columbia. info from "Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World" by Paul Stamets

This is not one for the people with limited patients, it is a very slow growing species and takes it sweet time to reach full maturity.

Inc temps; 78-80
Grain colonized in about 4 weeks but was let to sit for about 6 (using an LC).
Once colonized a sandwhich technique (sub/spawn/sub) seems to work more efficiently than mixing it all up. Sub consisted of cactus soil (with wood screened out) mixed 50/50 with verm. Sub colonization times varies depending on thickness a typical smaller sized tray 2" sub depth may take about 2 weeks or more.

Fruiting temps 75
Cased with straight verm then wait, wait, wait and wait some more pins can take aproximately 4 weeks to appear and fruits will continue to grow for about 2 weeks until finally reaching maturity.

One really cool thing about this strain is its resistance to contams and its long life. There are reports of this strain being grown out for 9+ flushes!

Damn these guys look cool. I definitely want to try to grow a different species besides cubensis, such as these. Kind of looks like PE.

I have only seen them from that place that rhymes with "store clerks" But they are a whopping $38 a print and only come in print form. They are notoriously known for being hard to print. I only manage a few faint ones and only one relly nice one and that one is going to be used soon to resart with some fresh genetics, in hopes to get a better outcome. I accuired the strain from an outstanding memeber of ST who got them from another outstanding memeber there.

Another amazing thing is that this strain before I had used it was sitting on a shelf in a closet in a syringe (in LC form) for almost a year before I used it. I tested it on a couple small jars of grain and got healthy growth without fail! If I can manage get some more nice prints I will definatley circulate them but I am still tuning things in at the moment.

I figured that was were the spores came from. I just got notified by the USPS that My order from that same place was misdirected, and should be to me in 1-3 days!!! Bummer, as i was gonna do up some stuff for my first grow of the late winter.
Pretty Damned cool that your yr old lc syringe worked out!!!! I don't mind paying the $38 for a quality print but right now I'm fixin to be swamped! Maybe I'll get one soon though and let it slowly do it's thing over the summer.
Peace Bro.
