Outdoor beds (Wood lovers) Fruiting
#2359088 - 02/20/04 01:27 PM (9 years, 3 months ago) |

Using one of last years fruited trays as spawn.
I spread it around, in a nice shady spot next to my compost bins.
Then covered with some beech wood chips, to a depth
of about 4 to 10 inches.
The Azure spot
Now I just have to wait untill autum, and water in the dryer months.
Updates in about 8 months time
The trays used contain a lot of myc still, the wooden one
themselves are totaly colonised.
So I can just refill these with more chip, and over
time they will recolonise. makeing wooden trays a
bit like the never emptying porridge pot
So, this is the whole area
About 30 litres of spawn were used from 2 species,
and about 4 square yards of beech wood chips.
I have another 12 square yards of beech chips for
my planed Psilocybe subaeruginosa bed, I'll post those
when and as I make them.

All these woodlovers are loving the English autum rain this year :-)
Last year was a horrid dry autum.

Been nice a wet over here this autum :-)
fresh pins and second and third flushes everywere.
Cold weather is coming in though, so the season is soon to end i think.

Azures
all the patches that are fruiting the best are under the tomatoe beds, these were probably the best watered beds, as they recived all the rn off from the tomatoe irragation.
So this shows the importance of watering your woodchips during the summer months i think.

Not a great deal of difference between growning shrooms and growing plants imhe.

Anno had stated that they like to fruit around the edges (dont know if true or not) so what he does is makes channels of soil so thier is more outside perimiters thus more fruiting. But from your set up you know what you are doing

Most shrooms fruit at the edge of their mycelial mats, this it one reason why fairy rings apear as a ring. So Anno has a good point. But for these beds I'm pretty much just taking the easyest route. Just to show how simple it is to cultivate woodoving actives in correct climate zone. Sure, things can be done better.
You might like my Psilocybe subaeruginosa thread thats soon to be made. It will have automatic watering, predug trenches and winter cold protection.
