I got attacked by mosquitoes to bring you these pictures. So you better be fucking respectful. Because it's not about match love, but a handful of love. A handful of love. Is better then no love is better than no love at all.. J/K
I really was attacked by mosquitoes to bring you these pictures. Small price to pay for research and the logging of it.
What was once a patch. Has now become a mound. 6 inches high.
Overhead view of the mound.
A look at the mound with the casing cover of organic materials removed.
Further into the mound. A look at the bulk substrate pulled away down into the layer of grains spawn.

I loooove taking spent substrates out into the jungle and burying them. Better than tossing, imo. Give the goods back to the earth.

I don't think that these subs are going to do as well.
They were highly spent. And highly contaminated.
On the other hand. It's how you put it.

you'd be surprised. I would break it up and kinda bury it just underground so it can (hopefully) pull up some nutrients from the ground and kinda revive itself.

Still don't think this last batch of buried substrate will fair well.
They are just green mold patches.
Had to add a few contaminated substrates to the patch this morning. From my ECUADOR! grow log and bury them due to contaminates.
Took your suggestion and crumbled up the contaminated substrates this time. Hope you are right and I am surprised.

the cakes i threw in here were pretty well spent and its quite hot here in florida so ive only gotten about one dry gram from this little patch so far, but the novelty of it is just so great.
the coolest part i think is that the mycelium has actually begun to colonize the mulch i threw on top of it. is PE that much of a mutated strain or will cubes eat just about anything once theyre established?

This is awesome. Wish I'd read it before I planted a few cakes in my compost pile, though. The next ones are going under the orange tree.

So I've been dumping my contaminated/spent subs outside and they're producing wonderfully.
It rains every 3-4 days here heavily so I'm getting huge flushes. probably about an oz a week.
I have my own yard, but i do live in close proximity to other houses. (Mini home park) Each yard is about twice the size of a regular double-wide and longer.
My neighbours are cool old people, but she's been asking me about the mushrooms growing in the back under the tree haha.
I told her I cultivate legit mush. (Which I do, no lie) But is there anything very close looking to cubes that I can say those are?
As it is, I told her they weren't very good tasting, but they got contaminated, and I didn't want them to go to waste. She'd never like, go out and pick any.
But I hate feeling like a grave digger going out to the back of my lot with a shovel after 11pm just to bust up subs and pick mush. haha
So, any suggestions for something that looks similar to Cubes that I can pawn them off as to curious people?

Hamloaf's Outdoor Tek. [Re: gstay]

Did you already tell her they were edible? Just throw any old latin name for mushrooms at her. Most people do not have a clue what mushrooms are about and do not want to hear any kind of long winded explanations. Just tell her they are a novelty Mushroom. That they are toxic to humans if consumed. Placed in your yard by you. Due to the fact that you are a mushroom enthusiast.
An example of a toxic novelty mushroom is: Omphalotus nidiformis. The Ghost Fungus Mushroom. This mushroom is toxic and will attack your gastrointestinal system. You say you grow "legit" mushrooms? Why not, every so often, break her off with a piece of your edible harvest. To shut her up. Maybe divert her curiosity a little bit. You know you will be using this excuse. HL

Meh, I change it back. I'll write ya' an actual outdoor tek, for the shroomery, with pics, in the fall when the temperatures drop off a good 15 degrees. I'm just wait till the fall so I can back it up with pics for you. I have already tried several grows outdoors this summer. Temps are above 95 during the day so none of them have been happy. I have not visited the patch since the temps have become so warm about 23 days ago. HL

I have some Elm, Yellow, and Blue oyster jars fully colonized, 2 of each. I'm going to store these jars in the fridge and begin some grain jars, LC, and agar of ps. azure's in preparation for when the weather cools off and fall arrives. HL

I took 8 quarts of heavily trich contaminated treasure coast and mixed that with a half brick of coir and laid it out beneath a tree with no direct sunlight. That was about 3 weeks ago and today when I looked at it it was pure white mycellium. I didnt throw anything on top of the coir/spawn mix. Today I threw some cactus soil/verm onto the top of it. As a sort of casing. See wat happens I guess.

Currently, what are your temps like out doors? In the fall I am going to attempt proper out door mushroom patches, dug into the ground, spawned to cow or horse manure, layered, then cover the substrate with a clear sheet of 6mil plastic with holes slashed in it for GE to colonize. HL
