Throw your wood-loving mushrooms on Scott's Earthgro woodchips!

Can't believe how easy it is to throw a whole mushroom on woodchips. Neat to see rhizomorphic growth from the stem and tomentose growth from the caps.

They are Douglas fir chips. One of my favorite things about them is a lot of the "reviews" are negative because regular people can't stand how they get colonized by mushrooms so easily. Also $4 for a giant bag?? Awesome.
Also if anyone was wondering, they use food grade dye to color the chips.

Douglas fir is harder than chestnut, which is considered a hardwood.

Doug Fir is pine and wood lovers love the wood they grow on. Incidentally, oak is a great substrate for most wood lovers.

Great going, everyone! Amazing finds you all are making!

Maybe hardwoods are best, but they will still grow in anything that's wood and several things that aren't (cardboard, newspaper, dune grass, lawn thatch). I myself have only ever found five places it grows (so far!) but one of those is in a dry sunny lawn on a hilltop, and another was on a rotten old 2x4 buried by weeds and moss under my own deck. It had gotten there on its own. P. cyanescens is a sturdy and versatile species!

I like it. I did this with some azzies i printed. After i printed them for 2 days i noticed the fuzz under the cap. I have a wondered in the wild if the spore germinate on the fuit body and then eat the decaying mushroom?

What are you spawning it to, Sirtalis? Outdoor bed? Tub?
Are you going to remove the rotting mushroom from the woodchips or leave it until it completely reverts to mycelium?

I'm no mycologist (just a herpetologist), but I'd guess that they do. Lots of organisms feed off their parents during their early stages of life.
It looks like from my photos the spores germinate in the cap, while the stem is still part of the "parent mycelium".
I threw these mushrooms into wood chips because I didn't dry them properly and they turned fuzzy white. Thought it was mold, and didn't want to risk anything eating my first wild mushrooms. Also didn't want that lingering thought of "what if" while tripping. But luckily the cyans just wanted to survive!

I've got a few ideas at the moment, but I'm spawning an outdoor bed right now. There's about 20 of these mushrooms in woodchips and they're starting to spread. Might as well let nature take it's course and leave them in there. I picked them about 8 blocks from my house so I think my backyard should be a nice habitat 
Gave a shot at making liquid cultures and bird seed jars. The jars are colonizing slowly and look like the top of these mushrooms: wispy mycelium. Cyans are slooow growers (especially in October). Learning that patience is a virtue with mushroom cultivation!
