Question Psilocybe subaeruginosa

Has anyone successfully cultivated these? Are they beginner friendly? Any info would be great!

I see you have a question! Have you read the official cultivation guide?

Doesn't seem to be well researched at all. I say give it a shot since no one else seems to grow it. You could be the pioneer of a psilocybe species.

I've only ever foraged them so it would be interesting to see if they can be cultivated. I'm sure others have done it, surely?

From the quick Google search I did on them it said they're sporeless so you would probably have to make tissue cultures.

Well that doesn't sound beginner friendly 😂

Yah i wouldn't say begginer friendly but if you do it right you can definitely pull it off.

But when I go to the Wikipedia page it says it produces purple spores. So I would just pick a couple if I were you and lay the caps on some foil and see if you can make some spore prints.
