SORRY! Starting an outdoor azure bed in NC?
    #9820885 - 02/18/09 03:55 PM (15 years, 1 month ago)

So, I am planning an outdoor azurescens bed in the US hardiness zones 7 and 8 in NC, I plan on doing agar work to get a clean culture, transfer to grain, then grain transfer to sterilized alder chips, which i will then spawn to an outdoor alder chip bed in a low spot in a forest. I figured that the low spot would keep it cooler in the summer and a place for fog to collect after rain to keep humidity up. The spot does have adequate drainage so there will be no standing water or flooding.

My main questions are:

1. how long must the required fruiting temperatures for azures be held at in order to fruit, days, weeks?

2. What kind of heat tolerance do azures have? will the mycelium die in the NC summer heat? What temperature maximum will they tolerate.

3. Is there a chance this will work or should i just try my luck with P. caerulipes?

also if there are any suggestions you would like to make on my method or if there is anything im missing, please school me :wink:

I'm sure you've seen the woodlover tek over at fungifun.org, and they say that you should be able to cultivate woodlovers outdoors if you live in zones 5 through 8.  I take this to mean that if you spawn mycelium to an outdoor bed in the spring, the conditions in these zones will not be too hot or too cold for the fungi to flourish.

I'm not an expert on the subject, but I think you should be fine if you spawn to a bed in the spring time and let it colonize over the summer.  I'm not sure of the specific temperatures and times, but considering that the hardiness zone that this species originated from is zone 7/8, I think you should have no trouble at all.

I'm gonna be trying my hand at a cyanofriscosa and cyanescens cultivation this year, and I live in zone 6, so if anything, you have a far better chance than I do.  Good luck!
