Are these king stropharia?
    #14523747 - 05/27/11 10:02 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

G'day,
I was sent a culture labelled "Stropharia rugoso-anulata" on a petri, which I then expanded on wheat grain, then into a hessian sack full of pastuerised straw, placed in a cardboard box, and covered in coir.
Colonised well, then these mushies appeared.


The slugs beat me to them before I saw any spores. They weren't giant.
Any ideas?

Not just the bugs and slugs, but looks like rats and bandicoots like the mycelium. My outdoor patch at the community garden has woodchipped paths, and the mycelium has spread far and wide, but lately something has been nosing around in the woodchips, very deliberately, and I suspect they're feasting on the mycelium.

I've got 5 big bags of grain spawn from this culture, and before I go spreading it around, I want to be sure it actually is SRA.

The critters are actually smelling the wheat grain, that is why they are tearing up your beds.  Happened to me all the time.  You have to use sawdust spawn instead of grain outdoors or put up chicken wire.

Evolution is Lamarckism in disguise.  Adaptation never creates a new species or trait, but rather the new species/trait always existed within the parent DNA until circumstances allowed it to be activated.  For instance, every wolf has the DNA for poodles, but that DNA would never be revealed without man selectively breeding for it.

I don't think so, because I spawned a few sites, and the mycelium ran out from these patches. The critters are digging up in the woodchip paths, in spots far from any grain. Maybe they're digging out other critters that are eating the mycelium, like slugs or grubs?

Possible they are digging for bugs in bed, they could just be diggin in the general area of the smell not knowing exactly where the grain is.  I do know that the GGMM recommends sawdust spawn for outdoors because of the animal issue, otherwise you will have to go the chickenwire route.
