Revive dead cakes/growing wild works
    #25318259 - 07/10/18 10:15 AM (5 years, 7 months ago)

a friend of mine had some Dead cakes and decided to try an experiment by varying the cakes in a plastic bin with some peat moss and birdseed. It worked. And he is getting regular Harvest by doing nothing but letting it grow outside and watering it.
Mushrooms rely on other plants immune system in the wild in order to survive, so growing you're colonized mushroom material with other plants will I sure that it survives and does not overtaken by contamination.
I repeated his experiment using a fully colonized grow bag. I crush up the spawn bag and kept it on a lower layer and mixed it with peat moss and wildflower seeds. it has been one week, and the mycelium has completely covered the bottom of the bin, the wild flower seeds are growing, and there are visible knots and growing pins!
It couldn't be easier, the mushrooms grow, you let them drop some spores, you pick them, and it starts all over again.
I recommend anyone who has some cakes leftover to try it. You never know.
Will post photos.

Caring for discarded subs and cakes Outdoors isn't exactly a breakthrough in mycology but glad you're getting results. It's done here quite often.

from looking around for The Beginner's especially, who have a lot of trouble maintaining the correct environment to grow the mushrooms alone I think it's a good thing to spread. When I was a beginner I had no idea that this method was possible, I would have done this instead of all the time wasted on fruiting Chambers and jars.

My environment would bake an outdoor grow to death in less than a few days
I see a whopping 2 mushrooms in that picture
If you consider fruiting chambers and jars a waste compare to this “method” of growing, you should start back at the beginning and re-learn everything you know about growing mush

Even Outdoors you have to maintain the correct environment or your spent grows will just dry out. Search outdoor grow / spent cakes you'll come up with a lot of outdoor grow techniques. Not trying to Flame you just sayin.

Kinda seems like all that happened is he made a variation on PF or BRF to bulk....just outside. Although it's always cool to see those mushies growing, this isnt exactly a groundbreaking discovery

I'm not saying it is, I just didn't think it would be so easy. my friend has gotten four flushes from Dead cakes he had already gotten a couple flushes out of and a shotgun chamber.

That photo by the way is the third flush from two Dead cakes that had already had several flushes in a shot gun chamber. I said I find it easier because they just keep growing like at a nature without much intervention. basically it's just a passive way to grow mushrooms if you're not trying to grow bulk.something to do with spent cakes
