Polyculture: journals, resources, experiences?
    #24161564 - 03/14/17 01:01 PM (7 years, 2 months ago)

I was wondering if anyone has any personal experience or knows of any journals or other resource on the subject? Namely fruiting two species together.

I'm aware of paul stamet's suggesting it is possible as long as you pick mushrooms that fruit at different times, but growing indoors they would all fruit basically the same time.

Was thinking of throwing some grains left over after transfers together like reishis and oysters together under a casing.

Or perhaps reishis and cubes with a half-and-half casing cardboard on the reishi side and worm casting mix on the cube side. Then perhaps they won't fight over the casing layer, which I'm not sure the mycelium would fight anyways.

Anyways, just a thought that has interested me for a long time, just haven't had time to run any experiments on the subject yet but looking forward to trying it out in the near future and just wanted to see what knowledge was around before I started from scratch.

Why not separate trays?

Poly-culture is mostly a small herbaceous garden thing.

Because biodiversity has it's benefits, and because I like learning, experimenting and pushing the boundaries :smile:

I wouldn't say that it is at all limited to small herbs, polycultural farms have been shown to have great benefits over monocropped fields.

Either way, I'd put one edible species in each tray, garden bed, or guild. Stamets also writes about vulnerable "island colonies" that are weaker than a contiguous mat. We're really cultivating the mycelium, which can be quite large.

Some exceptions are mushroom compost with inky caps that melt into fertilizer, mycorhizzae to live in symbiosis with plants, and bioremediation of toxic soils.

No, polyculture is not just herbs.  It's a variety that campanion plants and builds soil.

Mushrooms will compete.  Stick to monoculture.  They can share a chamber, but use different trays.

Yeah man, that's what I'm talking about. :thumbup:

Fruit tree guilds are polycultures. The plants fill niches in several different dimensions. The mycelium lives in the rhizome layer and depends on ground cover. Healthy soil will force mushrooms to compete because there's already so much life.

I'd only grow one edible species in a fruit tree guild to ensure there's enough vigor to produce fruits and survive winter.
