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.

Duder, NC and Adden are definitely some of the outdoor woodloving top dogs. Now we need liloldme to show up and class will be started
My plan is to get my prints to agar then some cultures going by the new year, scout for a good place to patch and then grains/chips so by Spring something will get going.
Anybody here have to tarp over their beds during the summer? That’s the one thing I worry about

I think mine will be done in tubs/flower pots to start. Then I will spread some to my flower beds down the road. I 100% plan on spreading Ovoids to the river system I frequent. I figure start as far up stream as I can and let nature help out with flooding. Let it spread them down the river system. Hopefully they take hold and we can add a new state to the list. The habitat should be almost identical to where they find them in the east.

I'm going to try a plant pot with a cake, or tub with a block, but I am not sure which yet. The cake or block will be a substrate I use on gourmet woodloving species.

You get some seriously deep and rich colour outdoors.

Woodlovers don't need a whole lot of attention in the summer, they go dormant under ground and then re emerge when things get wet. If you have a good ground cover growing or a low shrub above the patch then you wont really need anything to cover it. If you want to go that direction though I would advise using card board instead. Then the myc can feed on it as well once it reached the surface.

So today I tilled a bunch of woody mulch/compost shit into the veg garden to loosen soil and break down over the next couple years. I started thinking, hmmmm could I till spawn into the garden and have shrooms pop up in my garden? Don't know how well spawn would survive that though.

Do it now maybe fruits late spring is my guess depending on zone but that'd still be early and if you did bags and bags of spawn. Don't forget to make a chip bucket. I'd say a definite "next fall" project.

It survives 4 to 5 months of no rain and 80s then survives 7 or 8 months constantly rained on and half of that time being 35 to 40 degrees. If it's eventually gonna be a bed you may as well start now it couldn't hurt, then plant your whatever-foliage, spawn chips on top cover in native soils straw some old pine and case with peat coir or old leaves or everything.

Sad day but I suppose that gives me a long time to prepare. How resilient is the Mycelium? I would love to start the patch now but it can get over 110°f where I live during the summer. Also what would be a good temp to store a master slant?

I store all slants in the fridge. Drop in SAB, wrap in bag, veggie drawer.
The part that gets 110. Like "Florida 110" with tons of water, or like "Arizona 110" where shade and 0 humidity saves you from the heat?
Ovoids would probably make it just cover with leaves in the shade always keep some of it a little wet.
Pro-tip; if you guys soak chips, you can use the wood water on your patches. It'll ferment so it really only stays for awhile, but I let mine sit on the porch and all sorts of leaves and bugs and stuff fell in it and I tossed some wood in and later drained it onto a patch and knocked up the leftovers. You could PC them for long term storage too.

Like Arizona 110 but it could be in a fairly shaded area and watered frequently

Best bet I guess would be a shaded area. Watch it during the day see how many hours it gets. If you have a sprinkler that hits that way, even better. Otherwise just keep wet, and by that I mean don't let the bottom of your top most layer dry out. No need to drown them. Kind of like cubes. People will overwater like people overmist. (But of course if leaves and peat are blowing away get it damp).

It's important to note that there's a million ways to do these. I hope others chime in with different options and opinions. There's more than one way to skin a cap
Indeed, I hope and encourage everyone to drop their 2 cents in the cup. I think TheDude has a great thing going here.

You could always run your wood chip bed and cover the top with poo soil and vegetation and hope for woodlovers and cubes. My hope and goal for my big fucker, even if it takes 2 or 3 years, is to have a bit of everything or something year round.
