Re: The Official Woodlovers Thread [Re: Stipe-n Cap]

I wanted to try for myself. But as my beds have been layed out already, I didn't want to do another full spawnrun, just see, small scale, how it'd unfurl.
My only previous experience with hwfp wasn't convincing. But your argument for hwfp made sense so why not try it. If I like it, I can do my spawn runs for next season Lipa style.

I mean it's all for fun right. If it was just about having enough to trip until retirement, I'd have stopped growing a decade ago and just dumped more chips on my beds every winter.

I thought the consensus was that fermented chips did better than sterilized chips. I've done both and haven't seen much difference, but I've never done a side by side comparison so can't say for sure. Fermenting is way easier though and it can be done on a fairly large scale.

I normally use sterilized chips for indoor expansion and once I have enough spawn go to just freshly chipped, outdoors. Or expand indoors to boiled chips in shoeboxes. Once the mycelium is on wood it doesn't seem to mind at all and can be expanded ad infinitum outdoors.

Fermenting chips gives me hassle with the wife; she puts up with all my crazy hobbies and doesn't mind if I'm boiling down cactus extracts, stink out the entire house with the dehydrator or whatever. So if fermented woodchips are a problem, fuck em.

One's meant for indoor, the other for outdoors.

Outdoors it is. I gained access to a backyard with a planter and a couple of boxes that lined with cardboard I think will work too.



It's pretty wet and shady so I think the summer won't be a problem. It was full of weeds and brambles.


I don't suppose you could use that as substrate right? I'm asking because I've read people using straw

Yeah I don't have enough outdoors to evade the stench.
And don't intend to grow large volumes... I didn't sleep well when the entire kitchen was full of azurescens awaiting their turn in the dehydrator.

I've spotted what I think is fungus gnats in a couple of shoeboxes. The boxes are now outside for the time being. How do I get rid of them? If it makes any difference its cyan myc on fermented doug fir chips.

I've decided to supplement some Beech woodchip + Alder sawdust bags with puffed Amaranth + Quinoa when I ran out of wheat bran! I feel like the Cyans and Azures will like it now that I did wood-to-wood transfers of them! :grin:

Just preparing as much spawn as possible for the greenhouse master beds in later spring!

Peppermint Oil worked for me. You have to make sure it's 100% pure. Not essence or fragrance.

Put two drops inside a 500ml spray bottle and mist a couple times a day.

Peppermint oil is a good idea.
I’ve also used tobacco tea and “mosquito dunks” with bacillus thuringiensis aka BT. If you don’t know what it is  it’s a bacteria that kills insect larvae. It’s otherwise pretty benign, as long as you’re not a larvae. I put the dunks in a blender and mix it with diatomaceous earth. Sprinkle it on top of your chips and mix it in a little bit.
I’ve also noticed that temperature makes a huge difference if you have a gnat problem. Cooler temps in the 50-55F range don’t really slow down the myc that much but warmer temps increase the gnat problem a lot.
Hope this helps

Hi wood lovers. Has anyone tried sod-cutting up a section of lawn and digging a hole, then filling it full of inoculated woodchips and replacing the layer of grass to hide it from a landlord?
I'd imagine I'd need to mix a good amount of dirt in with the woodchips to keep the grass alive.

Make a nice planter. Your landlord won’t know what time it is. Opinion only.

You’d probably end up with a patch of dead grass and most likely no mushrooms because you’d choke them out if you bury them under a thick layer of soil and grass sod. And your landlord might think you buried a body there.
Make a planter box or use flower pots.

I have a question for you wood chip people:

Is it really as easy and reliable as adding wood chips and colonized spawn to a tote? You do t have to worry about other things getting to the chips?

Crazy! I did it to wood chips in jars first, but the idea that I can just expand it in a tote the same way I would do cubes on coir is wild. Eventually I want to absolutely devastate the woods behind my mom’s house with gym spawn, so being able to easily expand is exciting.

In the meantime I’m going to try an outdoor pottery.
