Yes.
Six new patches occurred naturally within 2 miles from the original patch
without any help from me.

Great photos indeed, are your 100 new patches all just small clumps of spawn added straight to already in place chips?

I had a couple of spare PF tek jars colinised and tried this with them, will be interesting to see if anything ever becomes of them.

Wondering if these could be introduced further north, like in Scandinavia.






"Outdoor cultivation of the wood lovers is possible in the plant hardiness zones 6, 7 and 8.
The range can likely be extended also to zone 5, but the beds will need to be protected by applying a layer of fresh wood chips or a thicker layer of straw to survive the low temperatures in winter."

Yes, and the technique works great.
The left over wood chips beside the trail are in perfect condition.
I dig  10 cm deep holes in the wood chip substrate and spread about
100 gr. wood chips spawn in every hole.
It's possible that already next fall some mushrooms will fruit.

...a great way to set to helping out with the spread of a species it seems -and no lugging about spades and masses of chips too (as with making a large outdoor bed)!

Yes, it's much easier this way.
It was hard work to plant the original patch in 2007, made of 200 kg wood chips.

So, has anybody tried planting Ovoids in the UK yet? When would be the best time to do so?

Have these ever been cultivated indoors? Similar to P. Cyanescens and Azurescens in requirements?

yep, that's the way it works...the spores go with the wind..Often times people and animals and birds spread it too, just by coming in close proximity to fruiting caps, and they get spores all over their clothes, feathers, fur, hair, etc, and spread it for miles

that's why I like hunting with a bike and biking a long way, because every time I find some, I spread it down the road some more

Patch created earlier this year and Ovoid mycelium happily devouring a local forest floor as we speak... hopefully have one of the first UK sightings this coming Spring.

Any time is good so long as you take the right measures but I have heard in some quarters Spring is best time to lay bed in order for mycelium to gain a foothold before Winter. But if bed is well insulated I'm sure later wouldn't be a problem, just might want to avoid releasing to the elements mid-Winter when in a formative state to give a fighting chance
