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.

Highly resistant, more than some oysters. Cyans I found to be more like tanks or bulldozers in growth. Inhibitory effects, and high ratios, that slow down oyster's to a crawl, does little to cyans.
In my side-by-side oyster dropped to 25% of full speed, cyan ran at full speed.
I used a black tea bag, 3% nitrogen and lots of inhibitory materials.

Germs said: 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
Definitely don't put a tarp over the bed rather cover it with organic materials instead if anything at all. Just keep the chips hydrated. wish you luck, brother. We live in the same zone, (actually my environment may be somewhat higher in the RH department), and I've been trying to get a bed to take off here since 2014, but find our hot and humid climate to be unsuitable for colonization of these woodloving species outdoors during the summer. The only success I've had so far is by pasteurizing the woodchips and colonizing them in containers indoors. Haven't made it to fruiting yet, but both my azure tubs have almost fully colonized the woodchips. Once the temps start dipping the tubs will go outside with a casing of pasteurized soil and alphalph sprouts planted into the soil. For us, I would also recommend pasteurization of any woodchips that are planned to colonized in open air. One of the major factors that these guys who make it look so easy have going for them is that they live in these species' natural habitat.

I'm going to offload my basic cyan spore activation tests I ran, after reading about temperature based activation. Hopefully someone can improve this post or add better data, but here is what I have at the moment.
Firstly I read about spores activating on aged or decaying fruit tissue, usually the cap. I later thought, and read, that many species will germinate at fruiting temps.
----
So that would put me at 10-18°C for spore activation, so I ran 12°C. I found an area in my fridge suited to this temperature range.
----
Some spores activate on calcium bicarbonate water.

Nearly all spores germinate in an LC.


----
Here is plain calcium bicarbonate water.

Also I would suggest agar over a LC as you can isolate growth, even from contamination. If you have a print, cut a toothpick, flame it, scratch for spores, add to agar.
Alternatively use LC > cardboard or wood pellets, and transfer.
----
You can also use my cellulose agar alternative (enriched). Either add trace ME, or a few drops to the spores.
This is cubensis, from spore print.

Peg transfer due to GE issues.

Thanks man. So, are wood lovers a "set-and-mostly-forget" kind of cultivation? ive found some posts talking about light stimulating fruiting (and colonization???), but also would be fighting temperature issues in my zone. So, I was wanting to do this on my covered back porch in a potter (mono-tub inspired) which would be way cooler because of the shade. Too much shade though?

Great thread. Yeah the Cyan mycelium is very vigorous. I'll share some of my favourite pics with you, don't want this post to be boring, haha.
These 2 are stumps I've inoculated. After a lot of rain the myc came out.

Those last two images are beautiful, one is grain one is wood, and they look the same. I can see the wood version, has accumulated nutrients from the top.

The last one is actually Wood + Grain. The myc is not so dense on plain wood. And yes, it was getting denser as it progressed.

Gymnopilus Luteofolius master alder chip jar, the mycelium is spreading nicely from the agar wedge, beholding no signs of contamination.

Nice. I love the looks of Gym luteofolius. Would maybe like to try it outdoors once.

I would probably go out the outdoor route too. It would definitely yield a better flush. As well as more flushes for years to come if fed well.

Just thought I'd share a few pics from the past
Wine caps--stem butts to wood chips with a little watering

Gym -- LC from stem tissue --> wood chips (not outdoors but they're so cute)


Ovoids - stem butts to wood chips with a little TLC (water when dry) in late spring December
 Following spring
Guerrilla grow - spray some spores an occasional inoculated chip or two and see what happens:

Spread the spores and the myc wherever looks good and forget for a year or two and there may be some pleasant surprises when you remember to check again
