 helping mushrooms grow in wild

i have been told that a way to keep mushrooms growing from a patch is to simply flick the top of the cap which lets spores fall into the ground and fruits more, just wondering if this is usual shit talk about mushrooms. similiar to the "fluid build up at the back of your brain"

I'm not sure about the build up of fluids on the back of the brain. But I do think making the spores drop manually probably disperses them quite well.
I have chloryphillum molyb (sp?) growing all over my yard. I think they look cool in the yard, and when I've kicked them over, they've came back twice as thick in that area. My guess is yes. Wash your hands if iti s poisonous lol

Bollocks. Cap tappers are retarded. Nature is able to handle that part of reproduction quite well by itself. If I ever see someone tapping a mushroom cap to make it release more spores I'll slap them silly.

When spores mature they are forcibly ejected from the basidium and gets carried away by the wind. No amount of tapping will force it's release.
Spores that have stuck to the mushroom like the veil can be agitated to release spores, but that doesn't compare to the amount of spores a mushroom releases during the course if it's lifetime.

I kick the bastards over to try and get rid of them, and they drop powder everywhere. And in no time, I have 4x the problem I once had. Somehow I assumed I wasn't helping the situation.
I guess I was wrong, two cheers for the clarification, even if it was crude and sarcastic.

What if there are tiny (what I believe to be Cubes) sprouting in cow crap, but the humidity has only been 60% and it rained two days ago. Is there any hope that they will grow larger? Or will the heat dry them out before they fully fruit.

It's the same as with humans. You have midgets and basketball players. If the mushroom's cap has fully opened then they are done and won't grow any bigger. Some cubes are tiny and others are ginormous. I've seen pins (baby mushrooms with a completely closed cap) that were bigger than a fully matured mushroom right next to it.

You should take some tissue, and culture it!

What about people that tap the tops of drinks cans with their fingernails before opening them because they think it makes them less likely to fizz out everywhere? It makes me want to punch that person in the face when I see that.

I dont think the caps have fully opened, the gills arent visible really. Is there any way to "help" or speed up the growth to help them fruit, assuming they aren't done growing?
p.s. the reason im asking is because a lot of the cow pattys have these growing on them but none sizeable to pick really..or in my opinion at least

Just leave them one more day, mate. It doesn't take long for a mushroom veil to break.

Cheers guys didn't realise this I had read several times to tap them on the cap to help things along and foolishly thought it must be correct as it sounded plausible.

If these people are ones that you know you should vigorously shake their can before giving it to them then see how well tapping it works out

Well usually they'll open it very soon after buying it, so it can be quite a challenge.

Those simpletons are likely to justify the tapping claiming that they would have gotten spraydrenched in Coke twice as much had they not tapped the lid.

Well simpletons have always got an answer prepared, because they can come out with any load of crap and it remains consistent with the rest of their logic.

My understanding is that tapping a fizzy drinks can has scientific merit, if you can dislodge larger bubbles adhering to the sides of the can the gas will fizz at a more constant rate instead of escaping with a burst that shakes up the other bubbles. You have to do it right but I'm fairly satisfied it isn't nonsense at all. Next time I don't want Coke on my shirt I'll do it again so :P.

My take on it is that this may have some effect, however there are more effective ways to disperse culture throughout an area.
