Are Azurescens worth the grow?

In your opinions are Azures worth all the struggle that goes into the grows?

:yesnod:its not hard if you can do an outdoor bed. :super:

basicely its get a clean culture goin on some rye grain jars and make a nice 2'x6'/ 2"-3" deep woodchip bed while your jar(s) colonize then g2g your ryespawn into woodchip bags and let those colonize, then once your bags are done take your colonized woodchip spawn to inoculate your outdoor woodchip bed and barely cover w/leaf litter and soil.  keep it moist during the warmer months and let nature do its thing during the fall and you should get lots of azures poppin up. :mushroomgrow:

they are double-triple the potency of cubensis IME. :mushroom2:

In may 2000, I set up a bed of azures. I made it from shredded pine cones because I didn ?t know they love hardwoods better.
In late september 2000, I harvested a very small amount of shrooms. In october 2001, I harvested this?


So I decided to set up a new bed of azures now, in late summer. So they have enough time to colonize the substrate. I expect to harvest from this batch in sept./oct. 2003.

This is the spawn I prepaired on rye grains, just like cubensis spawn. It took a long time to colonize. It seems as the mycelium doesn ?t like the rye. Next time, I will use sawdust or fine chipped wood.


close up!


branches of alder, maple and hazel, leaves removed


chipped
 

soaked with rain water for 24 hours
 

removing the water


adding the spawn


mix thoroughly


a nice place for the bed, shady and humid without direct  sunlight


this is an anti-slug sheet (slug barriere) I don?t want tripping slugs in my garden


filled with the spawned woodchips
 

covered with a dark fabric to prevent contamination with spores from other species


and mesh to keep off  animals


ready

Now, I leave the bed alone for two months. This time it takes for the mycelium to colonize the woodchips. If the weather is unusualy dry and warm, I will water the bed from time to time to keep it wet.

The azures need temperatures below 10? Celsius (50?F) and high air humidity or constant rain for at least two weeks to fruit.

I don?t expect shrooms from this bed in this year. I hope it will fruit next year. It is quite much work to set up an azures bed, and you have to wait long times for results. But it is worth it!



*Update 9/9/02*

Ten days after preparing the bed, about 50% of the woodchips are already colonized by the mycelium.

Sorry, I'm a little high right now.  Are you using your g2g to inoculate bags of woodchips, and then spawning the woodchips to a full woodchip bed or are you using your colonized woodchips to fill the bed?  If it's the first, why the extra step?

Thanks.

I do it to make sure the myc is clean/good, Id rather lose a jar of rye than a big bag of woodchips. :pipesmoke:
