How do you hunt sustainably?
    #21790567 - 06/10/15 09:38 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

I'm new to hunting and I want to ensure my regular patches continue fruiting, and even grow larger for years to come. I already make sure I snip shrooms off low in the stem. Is it also advisable not to over harvest? Is it best to let patches re-grow for a few weeks between harvests?

It is fine to pick them all.  The most important thing is to keep adding new wood chips at the end of each season.  Sometimes I pull the mushrooms out and replace the crater they came from with fresh wood chips.  That way you get the stem bases to plant elsewhere.

Keep all the mature ones to yourself and let the small pins or rotten ones help out the patch for further growth. As long as u dont pull them up out of the ground ignorantly, you should be fine :smile:.

If you know nobody else knows of your patches, you can give them 3-7 days to mature up.

Sounds good thanks for the advice. So by pulling the mushroom base out of the ground and repacking the crater with woodchips it allows the mycelium to inoculate the fresh substrate, meanwhile replanting the base in a new location.

I too am very interested in this as I have also posted somewhere else about this. I found my first couple patches recently. I thought it was best practise to snip the shroom and leave about a third of the stem in but apparently this just turns the stem into food for slugs ?? And that is an interesting point alan made about adding new woodchips every season. And pulling one specimen out to replant elsewhere (and replacing the crater with woodchips). If you are interested in my thread where a couple of people have pitched in with answers as well it can be found at

Good luck with your patches!
