I’ve become a lot more open to using cardboard after browsing This thread. But it doesn’t replace what you can do with the standard spores➡️agar➡️grain➡️chips Im just more open to using it.

Harvested my first sub, and the second one just popped up. It's easily 2-3x's the size of my cyans. If they're all around this size then I'll absolutely be spreading these around!

Finally!
Over 2 years in the making.
Temps have been 50°F days and 30°F nights. Huge rains this past weekend. I knew they'd pop somewhere. I made Wavy cap beds and Azure beds out back. There beds are very close so I can't tell what they are, Wavy caps or Azurescens.



sorry for duplicates I suck at taking pics

2:30 and 7 oclock
 11-12
 Just a guess though🤣, I really just like to grab the fastest most robust looking stuff. But then again this culture looks like shit on agar and grain, then brightens up and looks really strong once it gets on wood.

Well, once again nature proves that the best way to grow outdoor species is to set it and forget it... After 20 months two of my Ps. cyan beds finally decided to fruit, and boy did they! What would have been awesome is if I had paid attention and checked before we had several nights in the low 20's (F). Only reason I noticed them is I was looking in my greenhouse shed for my gas can and found a huge cluster growing inside. I took a video but forgot I can't upload them here. I'll take pics of the blackened fruit clusters in a couple days after I use a leaf blower to clear the bed, but here are some from today. At least I got a MASSIVE dump of spores on the cyans this year. Managed to find enough that weren't freeze-damaged for my guinee pigs to try.

   
I refurbished my allenii bed 14 months ago, and grew canna lillies in it during the summer. After the first freeze about 1.5 months ago I watered the bed real good, chopped down the lilly stalks, and laid them over the bed to contain the moisture. We had about 3 months of drought this year, so I really didn't expect o get anything this season. But the weather has been perfect for weeks now, and looks to be the same until Christmas at least. YAY El Nino!!!

Hi All. Been watching this thread and have started a sub trial. Its my local variety so not really needed, just looking to try. I was wondering about summer temps (in summer now) and when i should start laying the bed. It gets hot here, l;ike 42 celsius regularly, but still, im keen to try. I have a bag of hardwoord chips colonising well i think but will put a spawn to woodchip soon. Im just keen to know when to start

Well I ended up getting a cyanescens fruit after all! It is tiny though.

Thank you again Singularfusion!

That basket grow is awesome Trout! I saw a dude on a Facebook group doing the same thing with aero pots.

Harvest with a fillet knife over a container, just pull out a few handfuls of old substrate spawn that to another planter/basket/county park chip pile and add new chips to give it something to eat.




 Those wood plant markers
That IS pretty cool LT!

We've got 3 more days of above freezing temps, and rain coming tomorrow, so I cleared off all the leaf-cover from the 2 of the 3 beds that are producing this year so they can get plenty of air and hopefully stimulate pinning. I'll cover the beds again Sunday evening before the temps drop Monday morning, then clear them again next warm front. This El Nino weather pattern this year should keep our temps in the proper range for the next month at least.
Ps. cyan Bed 1: A small bed (3'x3') built in early 2022 that didn't produce a lot this year, but I had given up on my cyan culture so it was definitely a thankful surprise. In this bed I grow a "Candy Pops" cultivar of mint in the black pot, and Egyptian Walking Onions.
  
Ps. cyan Bed 2: My 3rd largest woodlover bed (2'x14'), built early in 2022. I grow three different types of mint in the black pots, and purple Morning Glories up poles that I've removed to clear the bed. This bed went STUPID with fruits this year! And I just love it when they escape their beds. Zoom in and look at all the blacked fruit clusters... I really wish I had checked on them, but I'd been sick for over a month and just never went in my backyard. That's ok though, the massive spore load this season will just guarantee I get a good distribution of genetics that will naturalize to my Midwestern climate like my P. allenii have. Like I said in my last post, I found enough decent fruits inside the greenhouse shed (last pic) that my testers got an early Christmas present.
             
P. allenii Bed 1: Old Faithful! This bed was first built 9-10 years ago, although I have stripped the old culture out and respawned it with its own cloned culture twice (2018 and 2022). This was the first year that intentionally grew any plants in the bed, although I have let the weeds take it over a couple years when I didn't care enough to clear them. I planted some bamboo in the bed in the fall of 2021, and Canna Lillies this spring when it got warm. I decided to leave the bulbs in the ground this year, and just insulate them (and the culture) over the winter with leaves and the Canna Lilly stalks. I'm glad I did, because the allenii like clustering in between the bulbs. Normally this bed doesn't fruit down it's center where the roof dripline runs, usually only fruiting at the edges. But the bulbs LOVED being in the dripline, and the culture loves the bulbs...

We put some spawn in chips and then left it alone.
Mushrooms happened for most.
