Welcome to the Pikes Peak Myco Wiki, the knowledge base of the Pikes Peak Myco League, founded by Chris Vinci. It collects the techniques, recipes, and hard-won lessons of growers along the Front Range, written for people cultivating at altitude in dry Colorado air.
Everything here is free to use and share (CC0). If you have a recipe, a tek, or a photo of something going right or wrong, add it.

New to growing? Start here
Read these in order. Together they take you from an empty kitchen to a first harvest.
- Sterile technique — why most grows fail, and how to keep yours clean
- Pressure cooking at altitude — the one thing sea-level guides get wrong for us
- Grain spawn — preparing and colonizing grain jars
- Coir and CVG substrate — the bulk material your mushrooms fruit from
- Monotub fruiting — spawning to bulk, conditions, harvest
- Contamination ID — what's growing in your tub, and what to do about it
Culture work
Spores
- Spore prints and syringes — collecting spores and making syringes
Agar
- Making agar plates — recipes, pouring, storage
- The three-transfer method — isolating a clean, fast genetic
- Cloning from tissue — keeping a great mushroom's genetics
- Storing cultures — slants, water storage, and backups
Genetics
- Smash tek — crossing two strains to make a new one
Liquid culture
Spawn and substrate
- Grain spawn
- Coir and CVG (includes the bucket tek)
- Manure-based substrates
Fruiting and troubleshooting
After the harvest
Reference
- Glossary — FAE, G2G, field capacity, and the rest of the jargon
- Pressure cooking at altitude
- Equipment by stage and local suppliers
Computers
Contributing
Anyone can edit. A few house conventions keep things tidy:
- Put tutorials under
Tutorials/and recipes or lookup tables underReference/. - Write in your own words. If you learned something from a video or another site, cite it with
<ref>…</ref>after the sentence it supports, and put<references />under a References heading at the bottom. - Add
{{Cultivation}}to the bottom of cultivation pages so readers can find their way around.
