Question Need advice on P. niveotropicalis

Hello.

I recently acquired a LC of Psilocybe niveotropicalis. I was wondering if anyone had advice on wood lovers (I’ve never cultivated anything, let alone wood lovers, and am not finding too much info). Sorry if this isn’t the right sub!

From what I understand, this species is especially resilient, and is hard to skrew up. However, Florida (where I live) just banned spores/LCs and so I can’t mess this up (unless I want to drive a few hours to Jupiter FL, and look for them in season). Since I live in south Florida, I imagine an outdoor mulch bed setup would be just fine, given this is the niveos’ only known habitat. Supposedly, this species is so resilient that you don’t even need to sterilize your mulch.

I guess my main question (and I welcome any and all advice) is, can I just use my LC on an adequately hydrated mulch bed? Do I have to start with a spawn bag of some sort?

Sorry if anything im saying is dumb or if the answers are obvious!

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