Garden Giant (Sropharia Rugoso Annulata) - First year
    #24701560 -

I have a little garden, and want more goods to grow from there, and I'm a shroomer soo why not grow SRA under the trees :smile: I obtained a cool wedge from a member here (Thanx mate)

Lab works and specs:
- Posted wedge to MEYA agar
- Grow out a bit then transfer to be sure


Growing speed is a kind of a good cubensis strain, not as fast as oysters or panaelous, but way faster than woodlover actives.

- LC Step, 2% LC made from distilled water and 1 gram malt extract (looked like same as any LC :laugh:
- Grain Spawn (standard RR recipe)



THEY NEED SHAKING! At least twice along the run.

All of the above happening is done @ 20-22 C° in sterile environment.

Grains done by February and they went into tubs of woody material with hot water pasteurization (limed water @ 70 C° for 1,5 hour)

There were be 2 types of mixture, straight wood chips and wood chips with sawdust. The material is mixed wood chips but no conifers.



They were there about 2 weeks when I noticed they stalled, so NEED TO DISTURB AGAIN!
To this exact point they have not shown rhyzomorphic growth. After the mixup they fastening up and fully colonized. If they encounter something they eat them, without mercy.



In the middle of april they gone into woodchip beds.

Bed Stage:

Beds are made from mixture of different chunks, twigs and woodchips and leaves (rotting hell) I want the bigger chunks deep down so they can rot away and make a good wormy, fluffy textured earth by the end of the process, so I used the mushroom to compost my wood trash :smile:

Layers were
- first cardboard
- spawn from tubs
- big woody debris
- small, or long woody debris, twigs
- spawn from tubs - then stepping over all the bed to compress a bit
- woodchips
- spawn from tubs
- covering woodchips



I runned out of woodchips, so need to finish covering later with more.

After this is done, the bed is soaked very well, then every day got more water for about a month. After that they got a bit less often.

By June the whole bed are colonized and they were extra extra white and rhizomorphic:


And the mighty fall is happened and at 18 th of september I saw the first mushrooms :smile:


As you can see they were under heavy attack by slugs and another creatures. Till this day the 3 beds are pumping out mushrooms every 2nd day or so.

My observations:
- As any other SRA cultivators said, they much more like to grow at the substrate (in this case woodchips) and dirt border, so nex time I build lines between vegetables, from woodchips and spent oyster strawlogs

- They are in extra danger from slugs so beertraps or any thing is needed for healty looking mushrooms

- Take a look everywhere! I had a spend coco coir place (were anything else go :wink: ) near one of the beds, one day I noticed a huge cap emerging from there. SO SRA mycelium growth deep underground under the clay dirt and they went several centimeters away from their cage into the fluffy moist coir, what is served a perfect casing for that big mushroom. So they like hide and seek. But I enjoy hunting for mushroom in my garden :laugh:

- NO NEED FOR WOODY SPAWN FOR OUTDOOR BEDS! they are extra hardy mycelium. I had a woodchip bed with spent king oyster blocks under a line of grapes, and I had 4  colonized jars, all of it is 2 litres of sterile spawn. I thought what can I loose, so I get a rake, pulled out some chips from the top, sprinkled spawn into the middle, and raked back the chips. After that I made them sprinkled with water. They get rhizos in 2 weeks, another 2 weeks ago I got a huge line of SRA bed :woot:

- Anything dirt like is good for casing. I had the number 2 bed, and a pile of spent subaeruginosa bed material (not so fluffy dirt) and when I recognized that they grow at the borders I add this layer to the top of that bed, voila :laugh:

Before:


After:


And they got to use to it in 1,5 weeks:



- As you can see they handle the drought very well, there was 11 days when no rains come and I was not at home, they bring up water from the deeper layers. 0,5-1 inch was dry on the top of the chips, under that there were white mycelium.

- Keep extreme distance from any active woodlover patch, or any other mushroom patch, I can imagine that they can eat a wooden house if it has any little humid wood there to start.

For next year:

- Cover the whole back garden with woodchips from this mother patch of spawn, then cover with strawlogs from our oyster project, maaaan I'll have excellent dirt there for the vegies.

- Set up sprinklers or dripping system for the garden, and they serve good as for the mushrooms too.

- Make more border zones to induce fruiting



Hope you enjoyed this little writeup.

Those are beautiful winecaps! 

Where are you located?  I've tried to get a patch going for about 2 years here in Chapel Hill, NC but no luck.  I've done the cardboard, spawn, chips, spawn, chips thing but only got one small winecap out of it about a year later ... then tons of stinkhorns erupted right where i'd planted the bed.  Go figure.

Btw, shiitake logs are a great way to increase your mushroom yield on small plots, if you haven't tried them already.  I've got a few dozen and they've provided large volumes of mushrooms over the past couple of years.

I'm in Central europe so we have very ideal weather for them here usually. This autumn is dry but I keep them sprinkled.

I have not so much fruits, if I count the woodchip/twig ratio :laugh: I think deep 10-20 inch beds are best in narrow lines at least with the same thickness of dirt between the  lines, so they can drop a cool canopy :smile:

I like the log method, and will try if I put my hand on some fancy logs, I also created some patch from short logs and flammulinas, but that stayed at my old place :frown:

Peace
