Exactly. He is killing flies with sledgehammers.
If he found a logging site - post harvest, there might be piles of wood enough lying around to make things interesting.
He could haul in wood chips to the forest too, in some places they are abundant and free.
worth the time? give it a whirl I say

haul enough woodchips to spray 55 gallons of lc on? that's 200litres, weighs almost 500 lbs...a cpl cl's worth of LC on a chip makes for a few tons chips.. doesnt sound as practical as just starting some myc on wood and spread it out there.

I can toss 500 pounds of wood chips into a truck in 10 minutes. Takes up a cubic yard. I do it all the time.

Hmm, starting with a patch int he woods might be best. Then use the spoils from the patch to make a 55 gallon slurry. I really need to nail down a fruit. I'd like it to be perennial but I have some Psilocybe Subaeruginosa spores in storage, what do you think about those? Def. not little weaklings.

Finding wood is not a problem, problem is most of it is hard wood. Subaeruginosa does like pine trees though, and there are tons of those around.

I'm not debating that. I'm saying simply hosing down random areas of meadow/forest with 55 gallons of LC that might be good or it might be bacteria slurry, is far more effort than one needs to expend to get a patch going.

Not doing the manure now but if I was, using my uncle's manure spreader to spray myc. laden shit all over a field would be fucking awesome.

So you like that idea? Then use a back pack sprayer to hose down some gnomes. Never made a slurry, I understand the concept but what's the shelf life?
Gotta go do yard work with the SO.

500lbs of LC. and I doubt he wants his wood chips on a dirt road when he says the woods 
bottom line its just impractical, counter productive and makes no sense. this guy's a newb, let him dream big lol, but you've been here so long you should see all the fall pits here I think..

I know you are. That's why you guys were being so closed to the idea. You've been burned before by beaus walking in here promising you the world and then they cut and run. Leaving you at the alter pining for your happy ending. Once bitten, twice shy.

I've been lurking (on and off) this site since 2003.
Brain storming-
What if I made some straw wattles and sprayed and then buried them shallowly in the woods.

Just show your proof and that's what's up. The main reason why this is facepalmed up is because this is pure speculation. Show results and people will react much different. If you're expecting people with experience on this first hand, you're not going to find it easily. Also people were trying to figure out the reasoning behind this. Is it for epic yield? Is it for bragging rights? I mean yeah I get it, it's unique. But why do you want to do it? If you want to establish a field, the spores in cow water and wait a few years for things to cycle is an epic way of doing it. Putting a bunch of LC in the forest might not establish much, but I'd say just do it some day so I can have a thread to cite the next time someone asks this question.

Op already explained he's not saying its practical or that its going to work, he just wanted a little feedback to refine the obvious flaws to increase his chances of success.
There are lots of people who are newbs who just want a few shrooms, and there are a few people who like to do wild and crazy experiments, practicality be damned, because why, they are experienced, bored, want to try something/learn something new.. whatever the reason. It's fun to experiement
The trick here is not to lump everyone into the first category, op feels like hes a square peg being pushed into a round hole.
He already explained this... a couple of times...
I would tone the lc idea down to a series 1/2 pints, to get the proof of concept down first.

So no other reason besides "because I wanna be crazy?" I mean seriously? I think if you could establish an area of whatever you want for years to come. That'd be crazy, that's something I'd love to do.
It's right up there with acquiring a wild print and starting up with extremely diverse genetics

if OP had any experience in growing mushrooms worth talking about he wouldn't be all over the place like this, he'd had an idea, stuck to it and found a way to follow through. Not change species halfway through his thread or ask the kinda questions he does.

Holy shit, someone was listening! Yeah, I've resigned myself to starting in my own woods at our family's cabin. It's in a nature preserve so there's hundreds of acres all untouched fern woodland. Ferns love moist. I really, really want to do the 55 gallons as bragging rights. Plus that would be one fucking epic grow log. This project is a long term thing, years, and would provide even more years of fruits. Assuming I find a decent perennial cultivar or wild specimen. I'm right there with you guys. "Crazy" fucks like us need fostering, not fuck offing. Next time we cut down some trees and shred them I'm going to pile them up, spray them and cover with a tarp, turn them occasionally for a couple months and them spread that in the woods. As a starter. I'm not big on pics, any advice on alleviating paranoia? Use an old digital camera with out geo tags, use a random's computer to upload with a proxy?
