ReactBlack said: I setup my allenii raised beds on May 1st with about 12” of soil as a base, then spread colonized alder chips in about a 1” layer, then cleared a few planting holes for strawberries/ etc, spread compost and soil around those planting sites and covered the entire raised beds with uncolonized alder chips and alder chunks in about a 2” layer.
At this point the strawberries and other herbs/ground cover plants have been established and productive, and the aggressive allenii mycelium is evident throughout the beds and looking very happy and healthy, pretty much directly under the surface and apparently all the way down the edges and sides of the raised beds. The beds have been watered regularly + some rainfall, but nothing out of the ordinary for my area.
I am very excited to see what happens, although this is my first attempt at woodlover raised beds, so I am not expecting any particular results. Really just a little experimentation to see what works and what doesn’t, and the strawberries are an added bonus!
Wait LOL this is he exact same setup that I have. Like literally, too a t. And I've noticed its been needing water almost twice a week now, at least once a week, which is why I think a bit of soil on top will help keep the moisture levels. Instead of strawberries I have local grasses though and ivy which is more their natural habitat. About to go water now, I'll check in on a few places. I may have made the patch a bit too big though when expanding, but I know that they'll definitely fruit in a few spots, and hopefully colonize a solid portion this year so either fruiting this year or next year it'll be bozanga.

Just a thought here. Strawberries are great but may have the potential to atract slugs, although diffrent fruiting seasons slugs will establesh themselves in your area and make it just that much worse during mushroom season. Slugs ain't no joke around these parts. Good job guys.

Yes slugs are a PITA. My patch is in its first season fruiting and so far non of the fruits are making it to full maturity. I have to pick them quite young to get at least something out of it. I hope that the patch will push out more in the next season so at least some fruits will make it to sporulation.

We have the worst slugs here. They eat every strawberry, oyster and ovoid. It’s a battle.

I've spent the past five years living in a PNW rainforest and I circle my patches with sluggo. It works, and it doesn't do massive damage to the environment around it. My patches have done significantly better after sluggo.

Spawned luteo on corn to chalk and coir today, will be running both indoors and outdoors in season. If it's a autumn fruiter, does it really pin at room temperature indoors? I went into 100 jars with this woodeater cause Cronicr or pasty can't remember said luteo pins easily indoors

The grow I posted a couple pages back was in a greenhouse at room temperature. Can't remember exact timing, because it was awhile ago, but pins formed pretty readily after casing the tray.

Hey lovers of woodlovers
I have been inspired by all your work and got some things started myself, but I am kinda clueless
I posted a big thread with a bunch of woodlover related questions in mush cult a few days ago, it hasn't seen much attention unfortunately
if any of you have a minute and could give me some help and answer any one of my many questions it would be greatly appreciated
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/27345050
thanks

Wow that looks great. It's it normally just covered by that piece of cardboard?

My god, you are impressive!
My patch is just starting to really take hold, and is eating all the new mulch, its grown fully from the alder wood it was on in the last patch and is now getting onto all the other big stuff. Still slowly growing, but rhizo's are forming everywhere slowly and starting to create the mycelial network along all the new stuff. Still many months to go though before we even get close to fruiting, most likely another 6 months. Really hoping to get some nice fruits for sporulation, I barely eat any, maybe like 14g dried will last my over a year until next season. But I want the patch to really become popping and populate itself and fully take over, so I can feed more each year and just create this massive patch for as long as I'm here and take it to other beds and colonize them. So much time left and much more to learn, but things are definitely on track for this year.
ill post some pic next time I water.

Can't wait to see, TWMonkey!
@smalltalk how's the gym project coming along? I have an unknown gym on agar atm (seeing you'd started some actually reminded me to start mine lol).

Started some wood beds in the early spring right before our last frost.
Started on agar and didn't even go to grain as an experiment. Seems to jump right from agar to naturscapes and various random woods from my property. Top is ovoids and bottom is cyans. Cyans look so much healthier I had to go through about 10 prints of ovoids before I didn't find a bacterial mess, my ovoids still have a high bacteria load but I know they are aggressive and going outside.
After I colonized a bunch of my pp5 plates with wood I made a little bed under some lilacs. Hopefully I get some fruits.
Should I keep adding spawn to the same 2 beds (ovoid/cyans) or make multiple beds?

This is a G2G jar from a master that I nocced up with a 3 year old LC! The spores for the LC were from from a Rockefeller print.
I have 4 colonized jars, and one that's catching up (didn't leave enough room for a good shake after the G2G).
Recently found a perfect guerrilla-patch spot.

My azurenscens jars are getting ready, is it too late for fruits in autumn to spawn now?

Is this grain spawn? I would assume that your chances are better when you don't spread your spawn too thin. How long til start of season at your place? 4 month our so? That might be not enough time if you are using grain.
Here a shot from my sub patch, caught this little fella climbing up a piece of chunky coir. I noticed more pinning on or around those chunks, you can see a couple of knots on that bit as well. Might be because they are holding a lot of water but then again this is just a casual observation on the surface of the patch
