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.

Read these in order. Together they take you from an empty kitchen to a first harvest.

  1. Sterile technique — why most grows fail, and how to keep yours clean
  2. Pressure cooking at altitude — the one thing sea-level guides get wrong for us
  3. Grain spawn — preparing and colonizing grain jars
  4. Coir and CVG substrate — the bulk material your mushrooms fruit from
  5. Monotub fruiting — spawning to bulk, conditions, harvest
  6. Contamination ID — what's growing in your tub, and what to do about it

Anyone can edit. A few house conventions keep things tidy:

  • Put tutorials under Tutorials/ and recipes or lookup tables under Reference/.
  • Write in your own words. If you learned something from a video or another site, link it in a Sources section at the bottom.
  • Add {{Cultivation}} to the bottom of cultivation pages so readers can find their way around.
