Chicken of the woods. a useless culture?
    #22023306 - 07/31/15 07:27 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

i have CoTW on agar.
i have tried plugs in logs with no success.
i have never heard or seen plugs in logs with a successful outcome.

i have never heard of a single case of successful CoTW cultivation.

is this type of mushroom useless for the cultivator?
i heard of an israeli guy being successful growing chicken of the woods but i have not seen any of his work. it could be false or extremely hard.

has any of you had success with growing CoTW?
how did you do it?
how long did it take?


i am going to attempt to make a CoTW bunker bag (tek described in "mycellium running")

my hope is that a burlap sack with fuel pellets will colonize; then lay the bunker bag on top of hard wood logs hopeing the mycellium jumps from the bunker bag to the bark and begins colonizing the logs.

i am still fairly certain cultivation of CoTW is a myth and will not produce any results.

It is possible to cultivate this species, but it is necessary to find a fruiting culture. Most cultures didn“t fruit in bags, but some cultures will fruit.

There's a paper around regarding fruiting parameters of this species. It was a study done that utilized multiple substrate contents and moisture percent. They found some set of parameters that worked reliably. Hunt it down. I'm on a phone but might have the document at home.

Good job. How many pounds of chicken does one bag yield?  If I were to grow indoors I would need it to be profitable to be able to continue growing them

not much.  especially since I only got a few out of a few hundred to fruit.

No shit?:crazy2:

Ah don't be a jerk. Lol :wink:

Excellent job fruiting them. I hope one day CoTW will be researched well enough to fruit in bags easily with a higher success rate.

I plan on half burying logs and laying bunker bags on top. Hopefully log cultivation in this teqnique yields higher than indoor cultivation. But like I said I have not seen much results with CoTW

CoTW spawns bark first and then permeates the log and then fruits back up through the bark
My guess is with bunker bags on top the mycelium wil colonize the bark better than plugs and yield higher success than what I have seen

I am spawning agar chicken on wbs then transferring 1:1 to feel pellets and then into a burlap with more fuel pellets. Hopefully the bunker bags teqnique works. If it does I will write up a how to for other people to do it

Bunker bags are a little known teq I found in stamets mycellium running
I got logs plugged but no mycellium colonized so the bunker bag is my next shot at CoTW

Il post pictures in my CoTW bunker bag thread as I go

Wish me luck!
