Forget growing indoors... OUTDOOR... Second Flush [Pics] Page 2... 4

Hey folks,
Well, I had a small tray I made contaminate with some cob web mold at about 95% colonization. I thought it would completely colonize, but it never did as the visible signs of the cob web finally appeared. Anyway, it was given around a week or so of extra time to consolidate.
I dug about 5 inches into the ground. I applied about 1" of medium grade verm to the bottom of the hole. I then placed the colonized block on top of the vermiculite. I then applied a nice verm layer to the sides and top of the colonized block. I made sure to hydrate the verm at this point. I then applied a layer of grass cuttings over the vermiculite layer. I watered daily, sometimes even twice. I gently watered the top, but heavily around the sides to rehydrate the bottom vermiculite layer. Temperatures ranged from 60-97F.
Here we are folks.

It didn't get much more colonized than this. The bottom, sides and middle colonized, but not the top.

Here is the outdoor bed.




Caps should open this evening I believe.
Very healthy looking fruits. I am very surprised. I think I am just going to make 12 or so of these trays (12 x 6 x 3") trays next year and just do them outside. Cubes REALLY do grow themselves folks. This was the least labor intensive grow I have ever done.

also...ALWAYS crumble your spent cakes outside to get additional flushes. I crumbled one and put it underneath a potted hosta and i got another 1/4 zip for my move.

Agreed. I am very pleased. I was expecting maybe 2-3 mushrooms... maybe enough to dose with.
I don't know what that middle big one is doing growing all side-ways and wonky like...

Thats an impressive yield you got there The same thing happened to me a few days ago except my casing was starting to get green mold, how long did it take for your outdoor bed to produce fruits?

It has been about 8 days or so, but the tray was allowed to consolidate about as much as it could for being contaminated with cob-web.

I actually just put my first contaminated bin outside yesterday. It made it to like 95% colonization (it was KNOTTING when it became slightly contaminated with trich, and I didn't want to risk any further contamination).
I dug a hole about 5" deep also, only instead of vermiculite I just used the garbage bag that was already under the substrate as a liner - but I flipped the substrate upside down because the bottom layers were healthiest and had a nice verm coating on them already.
Mine was a cat litter bin - 3 quarts PE6 WBS spawned to 6 quarts of my own substrate blend. It was fully colonized and knotting. Another reason I flipped it over was because there was some overlay.
Not sure where I went wrong, it was either bad spawn (didn't think so...) or trich spores got into my CLB during fanning/misting.
I hope I see something off of mine, that's a good 1/4 LB loss.
I'm thinking about putting my first monotub outside for it's second flush also, because it snapped at the center during dunking.
Cool thread.

My buddy and I tried 30 grams fresh last night boiled into a tea.

I also forgot to mention that the tray was spawned with half Costa Rica and half Ecuador.
I am going to harvest the rest of the flush tonight. It should be around another 30 grams.

I agree, outdoor beds are the shit, and they are so much easier to take care of.
First outdoor bed, covered it with just sticks and green leaves and watered the shit out of it 2 - 3 times a day.

It was a good 95 degrees, no rain the whole time.

Leaves stayed green through all 3 flushes. Probably from all the water they were getting.

noob question about cobweb. sorry if it feels like a hijack.
cobwebs appear on fruiting and not during spawning lets say on spawn jars and spawn bags. Right ?

Makes me wish I wouldn't of tossed 10 or so WBS jars that had cobweb on them. Oh well.. Live and learn.
Nice pics btw. I'll be sure to try your method next time I get any contams.

About 15 grams dried total from that flush. I will take that. We will have to see how future flushes go.

Second flush is coming in already -pins at least. I am very surprised. Are outdoor bed flushes less coordinated than indoor grows? Seems like I will just have a few mushies popping up every so often opposed to one massive flush.

I still have some jars of WBS that have trich in them. I moved them away from my others until I figured out how to deal with them, but I'm thinking of burying.
Think the trich will fuck it up or is it worth doing? (I live in the city, so I have to scout out a spot in the woods somewhere and come back after it rains)

So they are just jars of WBS? How colonized are they?
I would give it a try. Dig a whole. Drop about 1" of vermiculite in, then dump the WBS on the verm, and then completely cover with about 3/4" of compost/manure/coir or whatever.

Yep, most of my jars are fine, some are contamed. I've fixed my procedure, but I still have the jars. A few are compeltely done with trich taking over half and the myc taking half. Some are mostly myc with some patches of trich and some just have the beginnings of trich, which will take most of the uncolonized area before the myc can.
I will give it shot using this method though. I'll prepare coir with gypsum soon for bulk spawn and use the leftovers to case some WBS outside nestled next to a tree somewhere.

I am very pleased with my outdoor trays. I think I may just make around 15 or so that size (12" x 5" x 3") and just put them out in the woods. If I could yield about 20 grams dry a flush from each of those, that would be about 300 dry grams, or about 10 ounces, which would be ridiculous considering how little work it takes. Just water once a day in the morning.

Very beautiful! Outdoor's where it's at. This should really become a trend for all growers. Grow during the summer, trip all winter long and prep for the next growing season. Follow the natural cycle.

That right there is another beautiful aspect of it. You don't have to worry about mold, pasteurization, or any sort of sterility. Delving into this realm has got me wondering how one could go about colonizing grains outside without actually sterilizing them. It's gotta be possible...then again, maybe not.

Good times with outdoor pans. I have an interesting outdoor experiment going, after a disasterous trich outbreak on a friends indoor, two large beds (the circumference of an 11.7 gallon ice cream container) colonized with argentine cubensis, approx 5 jars per bed, one very meager, small bed made with one jar of burmese (it IS slowly colonizing, but slowly.) Another smaller bed made with a Jar of burmese, and the spawn from a contaminated burmese coir/bird seed pan, which is showing the most growth, theyre obviously growing toward eachother and speeding up the process, they were planted at different times. Finally I have the pan itself, which i had initially sort of gutted to an extent then discarded with a trashcan over the top, checked on it a while ago and it had rebounded so I'm seeing what happens with it. Had a few problems with slugs, but I have a nice system now for dealing with them. They don't seem to do anything to colonizing mushrooms but i think they lay their eggs near food sources which will sprout later, evil bastards.
-------------------- Whoa; I can see the music.

Does anyone know what that cracking is on the large fruit in the middle? Just what happens when large caps like that open?
Why is it that the second flush has much larger mushrooms than the first? These are so much taller and meatier than the first flush. Will the third flush have even larger but fewer mushrooms?

from my gardening experience it is because the moisture is inconsistent.
if you are growing tomatoes. and you let them get too dry and then water them and let them get too dry again the skin begins to crack.
im going to assume this is the same for mushrooms.

Do you think I should try a 50/50 peat moss and verm mixture with 1 teaspoon of hydrated lime per cup of peat as a casing for the 3rd flush instead of grass?
Would that provide better pinning you think? Now would be the time to do it since I just harvested.

That is a beautiful out door grow, I love seeing people make use of their contaminated cakes instead of just chucking them in the trash. Good work man you deserved the results!

I have been hand watering them about once a day. We have gotten a couple rain showers here too, so that always helps. Should be interesting to see what flush 3 leaves behind.

Was going to start a outdoor bed myself and searched and found this thread. I noticed you had temps of 90s and they still fruit? I am concerned as temps in Ireland are not that high and wonder if the myclem would grow fast enough. I was thinkin of putting them out later because thats when mushrooms naturally start popping up (as the temp drops) but I guess i should push it forward? Anyone in cooler regions have success? Also are B+ effected much by elevation? Libs are natural here in Ireland but mostly only above 500.

Beautiful shrooms man! I put all my spent or contaminated subs outside too. I put them under my front porch, with a hose coming from the drain of my A/C unit too keep a constant drip going on them. It's been hot here, up to 101 fahrenheit. They don't seem to mind it at all as long as they don't dry out.
@Lord of the Grass - I have had indoor grows in the winter do extremely well with temperatures in the low 50's. They did not even seem to slow down. The range of temps these guys can do well in is amazing.

Well, thanks for resurrecting this old thread of mine. I have since started this summers' outdoor grow, which involves 8 shoe box sized trays. 7 of them are EQ and 1 is PE.
I also have a PE tub indoors just for shits.

I think. The cracking is from just being old. I find this happens in any mushroom species. Although I have seen bolets crack way before they were ready. But I think that's just something boletes like to do. Great job on the outdoor bed. I got about 3 and a half quarts of wbs in a growbag that I'm waiting on too finish to try an outdoor grow. I'm think I'm gunna try and put some manure over the spawn then a mix of verm/peat/yard trimmings lightly on top of that. I'm not sure if I should use the manure or just put theverm/peat/ yard trimmings right on top of the wbs
