Azurescens outdoor bed question

Is there anyway to get rodents and bugs away from my outdoor bed when I inoculate the bed with my rye berry spawn?

If you must use rye outdoorsvdomit in containers or very guarded raised beds. U shud use it indoors first and get it expanding on wood chips first then continuevwoodvexapansion. It's easy and u cud also put grains on soaked egg carton and use egg carton rhinos to jump onto wood.

I will be ordering a spore syringe of the Hammond strain and inoculating two 4 pound Hardwood substrate bags from Out-Grow with about 2cc's each. This will be in early February.
Then I will be transferring these fully colonized bags to an outdoors beech woodchip bed. This will be in mid-late March.

Hardware cloth for rodents. Insects will actually be a benefit by spreading the mycelium.
But as already said, it's far better to expand your grains into sawdust indoors over the winter, and then use that to inoculate sawdust, bark and chips in outdoor beds in the spring in hopes it will colonize enough to fruit by the following fall. RR

My beds if started in spring must eat and survive one winter then the following fall the first fruits appear. Patients is key but worth it in every bit

This was the kind of information I was looking for  It gets pretty cold inside my house so I may not be able to colonize woodchips or sawdust indoors. I have patience so I think I will just let everything take its natural process outdoors and just make sure rodents stay away from it.

Hi Lucy.
My friend has a similar concern... there is a a solution.
My friend has Hammond strain, fully colonized on WBS c/ gypsum .12 quarts ready, and 12 more soon... plus 800 ml LC on LME and corn sugar.
You and my friend are would be looking at getting these outdoors during winter. Not the best time for a spawn run.
Instead... do the spawn run indoors: in a tub. It will be warmer, and safe from bugs and rodents (I hope ) You should be able to complete a spawn run, and maybe then put the tub outside with a pasteurized "casing" of humus from your yard. You may even be able to get fruits before spring doing it that way.
In the spring, take the tubs and use them to spawn additional woodchips and sawdust at 1:5 ratio. The rodents and bugs won't stand a chance.
