Started a mulch bed at home a few weeks ago and the ovoid mycelium is already going bananas.



After two months of severe drought, we’ve gotten some pretty heavy rains over the past week and the ovoids are exploding out of the mulch in my local playground

There’s an unattended truck full to the brim with maple chips parked in front of my house. :strokebeard:

Have an ovoid culture that i was testing out to see if it was viable. I inoculated some sterilized bags of substrate with a mix i’ve done for cubes (75% wheat straw, 25% cvg+coffee grounds) as well as a bit of wheat flour to supplement it. The bags all colonized just fine i’m just seeing how i should fruit them? could i use the blocks to make a small outdoor patch with some bagged mulch or should i just case each block and put them outside somewhere to fruit? it’s been in the 70’s during the day and low 50’s-upper 40’s at night.






Put it in the refrigerator for a few weeks

Yea I was a bit worried about that. I was actually more worried about the physical upwards strength of any fruits to push up through 3-4” of uncolonized chips. Or if the mycelium would seek upwards before bearing fruit. I guess we’ll see in 1-2 months.




3-4" is likely too much to fruit through. How far the mycelium is from the surface depends on if there is grass and stuff there to keep the humidity up.  My ovoids fruiting in grassy spots, the mycelium can be seen at the surface if you spread the grass out.  Some times you get some to pop up in bare mulch and the stem starts an inch under the surface.

I've found adding chips slowly works better than dumping a ton at once.  I've expanded one patch a ton from this spring just by tossing in a handful a few times a week. Also risk invaders with too much spawn.  I had red stem brown tip stink horns take over an ovoid patch.  I think i smothered it with too much spawn and casing layer.




Yeah I never see ovoid mycelium at the surface, even when they fruiting en masse. If you dig down an inch there will be creamy mycelium everywhere though

None.  "nutrients" do not help.  I find microclimate and chip bed depth to be more important.




How deep of a chip bed? I think mine was 5-6 inches deep. Do you think that was sufficient? It was getting chilly but we had high temperatures again. I think it'll get cold in a couple days. No pins yet but the myc is going crazy.




That’s about the maximum you want. Maybe a little less.

Yeah ovoids really consume fallen debris and dead grasses throughout the winter. In the spring you can often find areas of stilt grass where all the blades are matted together by mycelium.

Azzies like it really cold ime. They won't pin before the night temps drop to just above freezing (at least as cold as 40F/5C) and it's also got to be plenty wet at the same time (ime).



Ok you talk about fruiting condition,but in your opinion, what is the best condition in temperature and moisture fo expand mycelium?




Idk about other woodlovers, but ovoids love very warm moist conditions. The myc goes crazy.

Last question. Does the spawn to woodchip ratio matter? Sounds like woodlovers work differently than other commonly cultivated mushrooms. You can keep adding chips each year so I wouldnt imagine the ratio matters too much? Its more a matter of just getting them started on wood?




Probably the best method is to grab massive amounts of colonized chips and spread it evenly through the new chips, but you really don’t need to put much effort into it. One stem butt buried two inches down in mulch is usually enough to start a new patch. It may take two years to see anything, tho.

The new woodlover from India..

If all goes well I'm also getting a print from that. Or at least 'some undescribed woodlover' from India.
These are pics of them:



Also, I have germination from spores of another woodlover, this time from Indianapolis, US. Think its new name is now: Psilocybe caeruleorhiza nom. prov.




Do we know the fruiting temps and native substrates of the Indian WL? And I'm gonna need a print of that Indianapolis WL from someone... Maybe I should just drive 60 miles and find some... :awesomenod:




Those are ovoids 🤔

This big fat one reminds me of ovoids I only find in one particular area. Never seen another pic of a woodlover that looks like this

I don’t know. I’m doing an experiment this year. I’ve made a separate mulch patch that i seeded with only stem butts and colonized wood from those huge ones. My main patch is just regular random ovoid myc. Both patches use chips from the same oak tree. So if I get fat ovoids it’s genetic, if they are just regular sizes, then it’s substrate.

I suspect it’s genetic because those fat ones I’ve only seen it one very small area maybe 1/4 mile long, and there’s nothing special about the trees growing there compared to every where else in that park. I’ve never seen those anywhere else, but they appear every year and every year they seem to spread a little further downstream.

They also grow equally big whether it’s from manmade mulch or from natural wood debris, which is another indication it’s some kind of genetic mutation. I’ve weighed some of these individual mushrooms 50-70g each wet.

Those holes in the caps extend all the way down through the stem to the stem butt, which seems pretty unusual to me

There’s a variety of ovoid that is fairly prevalent in central PA that you will only find along the Susquehanna in Maryland which is clearly a genetic variant that has washed downstream but hasn’t had time to colonize elsewhere in the southern part of its range. This one not only looks very different (the caps never become flat), it has very different fruiting characteristics like routinely growing off of exposed logs, something that is pretty uncommon with the “normal” ovoids. It also has a pretty decent fall season, unlike normal ovoids

Anywhere south of Harrisburg, you will not find many of these except within a mile or two of the Susquehanna, and they are the dominant type along that section of the river.

Yeah I’ve meant to send some to Alan.

The way the veil clings to the stem, I’ve never seen that with other ovoids.

Koods, you ever see any ovoid like these? This is a clone of a really normal one, but the clone patches are different from the origin, throws out these big fuckers.





Yeah. I was hanging out with a friend in a park and came across a pile of mulch from a stand of bamboo and a tree that had just been chopped down. I had my backpack which always has random ovoid debris in it, so I buried some in the mulch and forgot about the spot.  Very casual, not expecting anything just a handful of crap from the bag. Came back in the middle of winter for a walk and noticed that there were a couple random black mushrooms that had fruited and froze.




Suspected they were ovoids. Put a note in my phone to check out that spot in the spring

This is what I found a few months later. It took two years but they had colonized all the mulch from that tree and bamboo from just a handful of dried rotten ovoids and a few colonized pieces of wood. I have a bag of colonized chips in my trunk to put into mulch when I think of it. I probably should do it more since it really is almost a sure fire way to get a new patch started, and it takes almost no effort.

Always try to seed mulch piles when you come across one. You never know what will come of it
