I can't wait till the fall fruiters take off, but even if they don't to well this year, I definately would not feel bad Jake, you got a lot of people trying things outdoors, and besides that, this was your first big go at it too I think?
Nice job no matter what, in my book!

Still waiting on this wacky Indiana weather to decide what its gonna do. Just got back from Telluride and haven't checked on the beds. I did have a couple conversations about outdoor beds while I was there. Jordan Weiss showed me a list of the best ones to use in beds when I was partying at the Aloha Medicinals house, but I admit I was a little drunk on ganoderma tequila.

I just put out a 6lb bag of blue oyster grain spawn last week. It had a bacterial contamination, which I think it over took, but I wasn't about to waste time spawning it to straw with it being suspect. So I just dumped it out into a pile of leaves and wood chips that have been sitting out for a couple of months. Then I put cardboard over it and put bricks on top to keep animals from getting to the grain. I just peaked under the cardboard and the 2' x 3' section is bright white and covered in myc. It's in the middle of the big bed of wood chips I posted about earlier in this same thread. Now that it's getting established, what are the odds that it continues to spread out from under the cardboard and further into the surrounding wood chips/leaves? How long will it run before it decides to fruit? I'm covering everything in spawn next spring, I want to go hunting in my own yard lol.

Odds are pretty high it will continue to colonize any substrate it can reach. I'd get a bunch of new wood chips, soak them for 24 hrs, then spread them out over the mycelium after draining the liquid off. They'll fruit when they fruit... The colony needs to be well established before you'll get any fruits, so if you don't disturb it much adding chips to it you might get some this fall. Depends on the fruiting temps.

Well where I'm at is in for a spell of upper 70s-lower 80s until the end of the month, and the blues fruiting range are 50-70 from what I've read. Hopefully I can get it to run as far as possible between now and the cool fall rains. There isn't any separation between the little patch and any of the surrounding leaf/wood chip litter, so maybe it'll run out from under the cardboard and keep on trucking. It's a pretty fast isolate I got from a member here on the shroomery. I plan on harvesting as well as leaving some go to spore, hopefully it can get established in the yard's ecosystem. Also just crumbled up 2 spent sawdust blocks of pink oyster and I've got a few reishi blocks I'll be burying soon. I hope they all take over the yard. How are your beds coming along?

it's Oct. 22nd.....I got one mushroom from my one bed, and thats it, from the bottom of a slice of trunk I had sitting in the middle of the bed. How did yours do? you went mad crazy with tons of work and beds didn't you? the good thing is, with SRA, the mycelium is still there and very visible and strong. so covering with large wood chips/etc will still make it viable for next year and years after as long as you keep adding the large woodchips I think. Just curious if you got anything.

My Shiitake, Reishi, and King Stropharia beds died out (pill bugs). My Pearl and King Oyster beds are hanging on, but the 3x P. allenii beds are thriving. Fully colonized, but no fruit as of yet. They've actually colonized out beyond the borders of the beds and into the mulched yard. I also have various patches of colonized mulch all over my yard, but they could be anything.

I'm so fucking giddy right now!!! Went outside to mine some P. allenii spawn from one of my mother beds and found these guys!!!! First pins, from a first year bed!!! I put the clump back out in the bed after photoing, should still mature.

Checked my allenii bed again today and found a BUNCH of pins. The other two beds were covered in leaves so I blew them out with the leaf blower to see if they were pinning too. Not yet.

I have ovoid going in bags right now. Once they colonize I'll over-winter them in the fridge and spawn a new bed come spring, just like I did with the allenii last winter. I will probably get azure and cyan culture going, and some pseudoaztecorum once I trade you for a print Psylo.

you and I must be in a similar climate, mine are the same way, actually. I was sort of disappointed at first honestly, but had high hopes it'd be better next year, but it looks like they came through in the end and were just waiting for the cold and rainy part to set it.
I guess that doesn't surprise me though because here we can go out and find wild mushrooms this time of year and even past snow fall, on a semi warm day.
