yes sir, it's starting..I'll bet that area in Santa Cruz is pretty thick wood chips.




4-6 inches deep with chips, and the specimens felt meatier and tougher/heavier than usual specimens which I find to be way more flimsy than cyanescens.
A small handful of woodchips were put in that spot last year at the end of the season. This patch is actually about 30ftX12ft, it just chose to fruit in spots where there was the least amount of direct sun.

Cyanescens are out as well, though they don't seem to be showing as much enthusiasm. Few and far between.

Yeah I remember you, the only other person I've seen picking at Letterman....Aaah those were the days, when it was easier

any way, that Scotts red mulch is not Redwood...it's a mix of different hard and softer woods tinted red with some organic tint...You can get it at Home Depot and online at Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Scotts-Nature-Scapes-Color-Enhanced-Sierra/dp/B000HQOL16

it's generally cheaper than other regular chips, and landscaping companies buy it bulk by the ton

there's really nothing in it that makes it better than your regular alder chips, except that it's a mix of different grade of cuts, like some sawdust, shred and larger chips, instead of a consistent size of chip

this makes for greater access for spores to infiltrate and is why wood lovers like this so much...It's more dense and holds in moisture better than many other chips, which is why it's becoming more popular for landscaping

it's also visible from space....LOL, because of that color

here it is, in action



you can see different sizes and cuts of wood in there..It's not the only chips that work, it's just the reddest, and probably the cheapest if you want to buy it

btw, the tint does start fading after about a year, and get's more brownish after that, eventually looking more like normal chips..but this is what I use for stem butts to take back into the wild again

almost cherry red, brand new...like neon

Hi Auweia,
We met many years ago in the spot your talking about that GL took.
Not sure if you remember. At any rate, I see your still up to the same
shenanigans. I'm just getting back into it.

My question was regarding this Scott Red Wood mulch you're always
speaking of. Whenever I see "red wood" mulch (not actual redwood) it

never seems like the type of stuff mushrooms would enjoy.
Do you have a picture of the correct stuff? Maybe a "fresh"
picture (like just laid) and an "aged" picture? at all?
Hell, I can identify mushrooms but I can't identify wood chips?

Those are some meaty Chantarelles and some fat Boletes.

They certainly look like Oysters to me, having picked and eaten them numerous times in the past. Haven't found them growing from birch before though.

RIP Matt, your friendship and your contributions to the world of fungi will be missed. Unfortunately we never got to hunt together.

With the rain yesterday, and the much cooler night time temps this coming week, hopefully we'll start to see more activity. One thing I was curious about, how long does it generally take for the cyans to develop? I.E. fom mycellium, to pinning, to full sized fruit? I was thinking 1-2 weeks. Is this correct?

I'm waiting and watching as well.  I started a patch this spring and kept it moist all summer long.  Lots of mycellium bustin' out, but no fruits yet.  All this rain and hopefully some cold temps will get them goin. 

Went out last night for Chanterelles and found enough for a couple of gourmet dinners! Also lots of oysters (Angel's wings and the blues). 

Our First Chanterelle of the Season!



Dinner!


Dessert? OOPS!  How did that get in there?

Oh, I wasn't the only other person there. Once I saw
an older mystical wizard beardo type too.

Thanks for the pics, that's exactly what I was looking for.
I've been dismissing those types of chips for years as they
just never looked "right". Ooops. I'm trying to find more
unconventional spots, for many reasons. One being that I found
some blue ringers on a lawn way out in the suburbs a few years
back. They can and will grow anywhere...

It wasnt birch.  My buddy found the stump and took the pics so I didnt take too close a look but it had to have been a tanoak or pine.

Mmmm scissor hash.

Hopefully this is finally my year to find some actives. Been trying for the past 3 (not real consistently but looking) but have had no luck. Seems actives really don't like the east bay at all.

they do like the East Bay plenty...the east bay is no different than any other part of the bay, especially if your near the bay

wait a couple of weeks, you'll see

..and so it begins. [Re: notapillow]
    #13459334 - 11/09/10 02:49 PM (13 years, 4 months ago)

I was besides myself with joy finding those first four little ones after so much time.  I felt as if I had finally been let in on a secret and would be treated like an old chum when I next went in the field.
Denied completely, and despite the recent rain and my increased time afield nothing.  I did come across a fellow creeper in dense bushes who was focused on the ground he walked inches from me without noticing me. 
I have coastal GGP so covered I'm going to start going east of 19th.  I'm wondering if down in the fog belt things might start more slowly.
I was completely blown away by those four tiny ones I did find however.  They were 3x stronger than any cultured ones I've had and expected to feel only minor effects from the amount.  I've had only maybe 10-15 experiences with cultured mushrooms, and thought these wild ones would be much less potent.  I was flabbergasted to find myself so wrong in that assumption.
Drying out quickly again, hope it rains again soon.

Hopefully you're right. I just think it may not get cold enough for them where I live or their spores haven't been introduced to my area. Maybe I'm just making excuses for myself, but I've checked a lot of woodchips over the years with no luck.
