Outdoor Transplant Experiment
    #26394112 - 12/21/19 02:28 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Growing magic mushrooms has piqued my interest in other forms of life such as algae, lichens and mosses. I love the way moss looks and feels, so I thought I'd try and get a little moss garden going outside in my hanging planter, pictured below.



I filled it with field capacity coco coir with a trashbag liner, and used glad wrap to seal it up to guard against unwanted organisms/critters a bit, while keeping the humidity high in my very dry climate. So its basically like an outdoor unmodified tub.

I found a patch of moss on the sidewalk, quickly rinsed it in hydrogen peroxide, cleaned it up best I could and just plopped it onto the coco coir. As I understand it this is a common way to grow moss for terrariums. If you've seen my post about my coco coir only grow, most of those 6 tubs are on their 3-4th flushes so I have material to play around with. In that post somebody mentioned sticking the butt of a fruit into some coir as a thing some people do. Curiosity got the better of me, so I selected a young vigorous fruit and stuck it next to the moss.

I noticed after a day that the mushroom still looked perfectly fine, when normally it would start to wilt/decay. Well I just checked again after 4 days and its STILL looking great. Hasn't grown at all, but I poked it a little to see if it was growing into the soil at all and... oh my word... its stuck in there like a rock. Completely rooted into the soil. Then I looked closer at the moss... HOLY TOLEDO it appears hyphae from the fungus grew into the soil and immediately permeated the moss tissue, as is typical in nature the fungus forms a symbiotic relationship with plants. I checked the moss and sure enough, its rooted to the soil by the mycelium, and it traces back to the mushroom.

I honestly have no idea whats going to happen next but I'm going to keep going and maybe introduce some more elements like succulents, reishi, different mosses, lichen, and native plants.

Mushroom is about an inch tall.

Cool, I enjoy moss.

Always wondered what lichen were, until reading up on why it was on our blueberry bushes.  Lichen does not harm plants.

Wait are you saying that’s myc from the mushroom that’s popping out of the moss chunk?

Whatever it is it looks pretty cool

That's a cool idea.  What kinda temperatures do you get outside where you're at?

lately its been low 30s high 60s, pretty cold. But the planter acts like a greenhouse in direct sunlight, so I imagine its a bit warmer inside for at least some parts of the day. I've fruited Albino Cambodians in these temps, they just go waaaay slow and grow super chode-like

Wow that’s crazy it grew that far that fast and went right for the moss.

new pics from today

As you can see in the last picture, the mycelium is now beginning to colonize the coco-coir substrate (lightly pasteurized). It went STRAIGHT for the moss like A.k.a said, seemingly as a live nutrition factory which is now giving it enough energy to explore further. The cap is even beginning to expand if you compare to the other days photo, I wonder if it will try to spore.

This could lead to an outdoor vanity mushroom garden tek, we shall see!
