The azure's were really doing good even after moving to outdoors and taking to wood. I added chopped straw thinking it would help contain moisture through out the dry summer. Mycelium pretty much disappeared after doing so? Today it's making a slow come back.

I really have neglected the beds around my house. I started to clear out the weeds and stuff to see if i will get any action in the next couple months. I consider the beds outside my fence fair game as long as my property is respected. I'm really into hunting and there's so many around these parts that it's really not a big deal if somebody picks them. Inside my fence is a different story.

Chicken wire is good to keep the cat from shitting in your projects.

Sometimes if it's really cold and i am trying to get one more flush i will insulate with burlap until the cold snap passes. I was thinking it may work for the hot areas if they were kept wet.

To what duder was saying about cardboard.

Patches go all the time with no apparent moisture and bounce right back. In the PNW at least. I had a jar of colonized substrate i forgot about in the back of a cupboard for 9 months that tried to fruit. no air, no water. No one really knows what woodlovers will do. All we can do is keep trying things(Experiment). Whats the worst that could happen? I doesn't work out? No loss no gain. Science, thanks for contributing to the collective knowledge.

Good stuff.
Guerilla style Knock up 2 years ago with cyan Myc. I try to hit as many piles of wood at the end of the season with at least some volunteer chips from a active bed. Some work out, some who knows. This is a start if you want mushrooms in your area and not have to worry if you will find any or not each year. Every little bit helps.

The water from your grain soak makes good agar for woodlovers as well.

Now thing is I am not sure just what would be to soft. Anyone got any advise here. I really want the subaeruginosa to germinate as I was only gifted a small piece of a print. I got a couple prints of the other to keep trying with.
use the recipe on pasty's plate tek but instead of the potato use grain soak water for your water measurement. Don't forget the drop of karo.
Nice to see you Nobler

IME sawdust and pellets get to dense. Wood lovers will jump to wood straight from grain. Even mixing small pieces of wood in your grain prep, you can see the mycilium jumping to the wood bypassing grains all together.
If your trying to make cakes, try going from grain jars to wood same time as moving to outdoors.
I personally call them Loafs! I didn't try fruiting from loafs. Theres a thread about "Myc Hearts" thats a pretty good read.
I would also like to add that i am not much of a cultivator, more of "Just try some shit" type of person. If you think about it there is really nothing to lose. You can always start again.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass but if sawdust gets too dense, how is a solid block of wood not too dense?
EDIT: trying to look up the myc hearts thread you described but the search function is bringing up too many pages to search through. You got a year the thread was created or the OP's name or anything to help me out?
I am not understanding the solid block of wood reference? I was referring to wood chips/chunks rather than saw dust.
psylosymonreturns: This is the user name of who wrote about myc hearts. I couldn't find the thread outlining his tek either. I will look again when i have a chance.

Catnip. all your worries for nothing. Good job. God shit Mike. Reminds me of a thing my mom did. She put ice on a pie plate and added heat bellow to demonstrate how moisture in the air works. I have observed more competing things come along with older chips. Fresh chips seem to work better. Chipped or chopped as soon as the tree is felled provides it's own moister. Standing dead from girdling requires a soaking after chipped or chopped. In my climate(PNW) once your bed is established watering not required. even if appears dry on top. Also, most fruits i have seen occurs on the surface of wood that hasn't been broke down. Minimal amounts of Myc as well.
I have always been amazed at how fast mycilium can turn your perfect substrate into nice yet not useful for dirt.(Not useful for Mushroom fruits.) Mycilium does a great job at it's job.

I have a picture somewhere of a patch in my yard where i cut out the side and you can see the layers of the break down stage. it's pretty cool. I will find it for sure. As far as the Myc heart thread i gave up the search. It basically talked about leaving the mycilium in one whole chunk when spawning to outdoors rather than crumbling into the new substrate. It produced first year fruits more consistently when doing it this way. According to the thread OP.
