Horse Poo Poo in Costa Rica. 1
#14237130 - 04/04/11 04:20 PM (12 years, 9 months ago) |

So occasionally, without effort, following a big rain, I will get a few magic mushrooms popping up (the common kind?) on the piles where my horses poop gets thrown. I'm in Costa Rica by the way.
I want to encourage more growth, so I raked out a nice pile of moist poop, dug a little trench in it, dropped in a bunch of crumbled peices of the white colonized poops from spots where shrooms had previously grown, then I covered it in hay (not super moist but had been left in the rain) and then covered with another this layer of poop laced with lots of white colonized stuff, and then another thin layer of hay....then misted the whole pile until everything was nice and moist but not soaking....I then covered the whole pile with the aluminum lid from a 1974 landrover...
Is there anything I should change? Planning on watering it a couple times a day...
Will post results as they come.

here's a link that might have some good info...
hamloaf outdoor
also, do a search for "outdoor" posted by M11.
the lid might be too much. with all that layering and being in costa rica, the humidity should be fine. removing their light source with a lid =

My intention was to just keep the direct sunlight off, but still letting lots of natural light in. No?

she*, but yeaaah, I'd be stoked on a few mushrooms popping up on a regular basis. The landrover lid is badass, all aluminum, doesn't get really hot underneath like if it were tin.

These mushrooms produce such a nice high. And there potency is consistent, so it's easy to get the exact trip you want. 2 grams is enough to make me see shapes in the clouds and to have everything around me breathing, but still be able to hold a conversation if necessary.
I'm assuming they are the Costa Rica strain you guys talk about since they look identical and I am in Costa Rica...

Shrooms that I relocated there survived, were full grown today and dropped lots of spores, picked them and tappped them over the patch...seems like there is a little fresh white fluffy cakes under the hay....fingers crossed...

be sure once it starts to dry out, that you keep them watered nicely, or else you're patch will dry up and die..

Alright, so it's raining today and cloudy so I tipped the lid off. Good Idea? or no? More white fluffy stuff, some under the hay, some on the surface. I Sprinkled a little light and airy hay over the exposed white stuff(mycelium?). One shroom popped up elsewhere in the yard.
why can't i upload pics? says it doesn't support the file type, and its a jpeg?!

Idk but I'd give it a good watering like every 3-5 days depending on how dry it gets. Evaporation is a big pinning trigger but to get mycelial growth your gonna want it moist, but not drowning.
This is gonna be so awesome!!!

this thread is awesome. nice grow and please post pics as they come it's really exciting. i was just in guatemala about a month ago, wanted to keep going until i hit peru but then i started thinking logically and turned back. i would've been in costa rica right now or panama.

nice. the vibes in those parts of the world are so unique. i have been by really high mountains or high altitudes most all my life or in cities in the past so it was a bit unfamiliar for me. would love to live there for some time in the near future though.

getting little mushrooms on the patch every now and then....however get much bigger ones growing less often at the bottom of the trees...Trying a new technique.....very moist horse poop thickly spread over hay,and then the landrover lid on....I think with the hay on top it wasnt getting enough sun.
