No fruits yet, but it's still too early. Temperatures haven't dropped enough to trigger fruiting.
The grass has died, i guess the spot was just too dark for grass to grow. The soil however is fully permeated with white rhizomorphic strands of mycelium.
As soon as there are fruits i will post pics :smile:

So when do you expect to see fruits from this?

The patch looks great except for the casing layer. The only place that we had no flying saucers s fruiting last year was the place which was covered with soil. Just give them raw chips. I have no idea why the soil didn't work, but I *think* that it blocks the flow of oxygen to the mycelium. The trick with cultivating this brand of teonanacatl is to not make the patches too deep (five inch max) while at the same time prevent it from drying out. I suggest to mix the chips with wet bibles and piss on it (ureum, nitrogen source) for the very best quality of gods flesh.

I would also use the big wood chunks on top: the sawdust is merely to allow the mycelium to run through while the mushroom bouquets fruit from the larger chunks. And be prepared for the mushrooms to fruit far away from the bed!

Make sure that no grain spawn ends up in the bed. Rodents love it more than the mycelium does. And watch out for primordia eating snails in the fall!

This year I hope to have a fruiting from the weirdest experiment ever: a spawn filled coconut which hangs on the ceiling of my balcony. I wonder if the mushrooms will fruit from the nut? I love to go nuts this way.

Another big disadvantage of soil on top of an azure bed is the risk for Sulphur Tuft (Hypholoma fasciculare). This mushroom is as bitter as azurescens, toxic (can be deadly) but with an even more agressive mycelium than azurescens (I have seen sulfur tufts coming up from pots of house plants in the living room). It starts in soil but is able to grow through woodchips. Normally, sulfur tufts are bright yellow so they should be easy to spot. But I *have* seen brown varieties of it. And I have no idea if they still can be recognized when they are dried and mixed in a pile of also dried azu's.

If somebody makes a bag of woodchip spawn for sale by digging up chips from his own patch and mix it with fresh chips then a contamination with sulfur tuft mycelium can not be spotted until the mushrooms come up.

Do you always use 2 liters of spawn for a bed of 50 x 70 cm? This seems a lot to me. What about Cubensis , do I need 4 spawnbags per half square meter too? (For outdoors)
thx,
Jazz

sure you want to go outdoors with cubies? last time i checked, geneva was not exactly "subtropical". i live in a temperate climate myself, and i'm going to try making outdoor beds in the spring with "psy hispanica". apparently, it should be relatively easy to fruit this in outdoor beds (dung/straw based) in temperate climates. this, of course, in addition to preparing more outdoor beds of the woodlover types: cyans and azures. if you want your outdoor beds to have a chance of fruiting in the fall, you need to get your span ready soon :tongue:

Right.
It works in Germany (My Pcs fruited in end of May),
so why shouldn't it work in Switzerland, which isn't far away?

that kinda got me too . seems like a bad idea to me . :confused:
if you want to grow grass over the top of the bed to hold in moisture, select a variety that grows in shade, mix the seed with 50/50 cilica sand and moist peat, and sprinkle only a thin layer, not enuogh to cover the chips .
the decaying wood will support the grass just fine .
you can add an inch of wood chips next spring, or early summer and the grass and mushies will come up right through it . :wink:

That would be the revival of "made in Germany" as a trademark of good craftsmanship.  :wink:  (I hope!!!)
