Warming up to mushrooms!
    #28364727 - 06/18/23 08:16 PM (1 year, 6 months ago)

This is just an experiment. At this point, I'm not trying to  maximize fruiting; I'm just interested in understanding fungus metabolism.

I buried infected rice in six inches of composted sterile manure. I punched a hole down the center with my finger and filled it up with hydrogen peroxide. I figured it might kill growth within an inch(?) of it, but would disperse a lot of oxygen and water into the dirt for the rest of the organism to breathe. I'm actually interested in kill radius vs. the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide in revving up metabolism.

I checked a couple of hours later, and the dirt was noticeably warm. I assumed it was oxidation by the manure, but the next day it was still hot. Whether it represents explosive growth or not, is TBD.

Okay, plants suck carbon dioxide  out of  the air, break the oxygen off, and use sunlight like glue to hold the carbon as part of the growing plant. The oxygen floats away. Animals and fungus eat dead plants, breathe oxygen, and that gives off heat for the same reason a fire does.

====[ So do anyone else's mushrooms get hot?

They appear to be warm-blooded!

Just to be clear.

You had moldy bags of rice that you buried in your back yard and then proceeded to saturate it with a reservoir of hydrogen peroxide? Within a couple of hours the soil has become hot?

If my understanding is correct you are just creating some weird mold colony in your garden.

Who suggested you do this? Was it someone from Reddit?
