forcing wood-lovers to fruit
    #21804970 - 06/14/15 05:00 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Last summer, I remember someone posting about a wood-lover patch fruiting due to an unexpected cold-snap.

Many species (cyanescens, azurescens, subaeruginosa) fruit when the temperature is around 40-50

I thought of an idea, put a few pounds of ice-cubes over a known patch of wood-fruiting mushrooms during a rainy summer's day to last for an extended period of time to induce fruiting by lowering the ground temperature, has anyone tried this before?

I know next to nothing about wood lovers and even then I'm almost certain that the ground temperature is only about equally as important as the air temperature.

But, you know, if you have that much ice to throw on the ground, sure why not?

Head to a skating rink and see if you can find the pile of snow from the zamboni. You could keep it up for a while for free with that.

I think I'm a little concerned that an idea that sounds this ridiculous could actually work.  I mean, surely it can't work well, but were it to work at all.... then color me impressed.

I had limited success with indoor PS.cyans over the winter and can tell you the hardest part is a reduction in temps coupled with increased moisture and high rh.

Artificial growth is hard to do simply because cold air doesn't hold humidity well. I believe this is why people can initiate pins indoors but they abort.

Because of the slower nature of woodlovers you would likely have to sustain conditions for AT LEAST a week and even then if conditions above ground are not favorable your pins will abort.

what about an ultrasonic mister?

maybe suspend substrate/myc and stuff on a ledge or something in a chamber and use a little water with a floating ultrasonic mister on the bottom with maybe a tyvek air exchange at the top?

cold temp, constant humidity and air exchange possibly?

They're way too smart for that man. Cyans and azures are worth the wait. Those need to be respected in every aspect of the word
