An embarrassment of riches!
The pine chips rocked, but that first strawberry photo was the prettiest.
Is that a Ganoderma conk invading that one sub?
Great stuff as always. I have the species on agar now, thanks to you, but have little expectation of your level of success given the weather where I am.
Thanks for sharing!

I see you have been having some great success of your own JD HERE
Think it is some sort of conk thing growing on some pine logs in the pine bed, theres a few of them.
Glad she's doing well for you on agar.

Very nice.. Seems to be quite a few people back East here (Sydney area) finding lots and lots of Subs.. Even better to have them growing in your own garden.

AHHHHH wicked, been looking for a professional set up as such, i'll be spending the next few hours reading through this for sure.
Really good work man. I'll have to share some of my homegrown patches notes and stuff.

Seeing as subs tend to grow in winter, do you think that once the mycelium has populated the substrate, would placing it in say a fridge cause it to fruit rather than having to wait till winter comes around??

Your only mimicking the temperature that they fruit at , what about FAE ? You can try and if it work share with the rest of the forum . Patience is all that is needed with woodlovers . If you want shrooms in 6-8 weeks then grow cubes . But hey can't harm trying .

Good point. This is something that many of us have thought about.
Another issue is the light cycle. This can be solved by using a bar fridge with a glass door. ...but the FAE issue needs more tweaking.
I have not done this, but in my coastal desert it will have to if I am ever going to get these, or azures, to fruit.
Good luck,
JD

I gave indoor a go for a while. No bar fridge as JD suggests so I put a grow light on a timer in my myc fridge. For FAE, the light's cord kept the seal of the fridge 'cracked' so fresh air was getting in, maybe not enough though. Anyways I was flying blind whilst attempting this and will make changes when I attempt it again.
These pics are from 6 months ago. Mosta these jars either dried out or contamed when I 're wet' them.
There's 1 jar left. Bout a month ago I made some trays from most of the jar and put the trays outside in the hope they fruit........nothing yet. Left bout an inch in the jar and cased it with coir, the jar is outside now in the 5-0 degree minimums we are having. The myc agressivly colonised the coir, am now waiting in hope that pins may appear.
Whats the coldest minimums that your costal desert has JD?

Hwy Olive,
I see this:
57.3 °F (14.1 °C) in January to 72.5 °F (22.5 °C) in August
If we get a frost, it makes the news. :0)
It is wonderful weather for producing people, less so for cold loving wood loving mushroom.
Alan Rockefeller found P. cyanescens in an nearby inland community, so it is not impossible.
Take care,
JD

JD your lucky , here in the UK we would call that one of the hottest days of the year .How I miss the warm ,Dry climate of the southern hemisphere . Im sure if you ever wanted to try them JD someone could post some but its not the same as growing them yourself .
Olive , I like the way you tried all different types of wood , if you read most of the threads on here about any woodlovers strain most tend to stay away from evergreen trees like pine and go for broad leaf wood like alder , beach and maple . I was surprised to see them fruit so well on pine and will be using it for the sub print you so generously sent me . Keep them pics going and good luck with your fridge experiment.

Thanks man. The thrill is in the chase. I will make an outdoor bed and let nature take its course, in all likelihood.
Good luck,

I wanted to use what was locally available so when I replicate this on a larger scale I know what to use Pine plantations in the south of the state is where they are found mostly in WA.
                                   
An update on how things are going..................
I had thought that was it for the strawberry patch. Then a friend came over and spotted these  
The 2 year old mixed tub has had a few small fruits.

This is the first sign of action in this tub of pine chunks and soil.
The crushed pine cones tub continues to fruit gloriously.   
Strait pine shavings.

Coir, cardboard and soil.
Pine, coir and soil. Crazy pinning against the sides.

first sign of action in this soil and straw tub.
Plantain tub continues to produce small fruits

Pine, soil, coir, cardboard mix was late to fruit. It's now producing some nice sized mushrooms 

Moving interstate in 2 weeks...................... A number of these tubs will find new homes with friends. Some will be secreted across the boarder. Some will be emptied in an ideal location nearby, hopefully to start a new wild patch...............

Shame you have to dismantle all the work. Good to spread the subs further north. They obviously can handle the temps and conditions where you are.

Coolest thread i've ever read on shroomery...
Good work Olive 
I'm just in the process of growing the mycelium from butts and stems in paper bags and cardboard... Well they're ready to be planted. As soon as i have some time to go for a drive and find a nice spot. I hope they're as successful as yours man.
Thanks
