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.

- 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

Liquid culture
Spawn and substrate
- Grain spawn

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.
