Thank you, they've gone back to soak for another day or so. I don't mind waiting to ferment them either,I think I was just assuming that fermented chips/mulch would not be ideal for the plant that's being mulched in a pot and why I asked if it was mostly suggested for beds. Am I wrong thinking that?

I mean boiling would just open them up to anything that wants to get them and IME is worse than doing nothing. I don't ferment either as I've never had it make a difference. Soaking is fine, I'd send it at that point.

You bet. My blueberry pots get topped off with random woodchips I find in piles on the way home. I keep a bucket in the truck just in case. I don't do anything special to them :shrug:

:shrug:

I will say though nothing works as well as alder, god damn. I threw some alder on my pots that was already getting fuzzy and the azzies said MINE! This is not me endorsing using already colonized chips, that's a bad idea.

Sounds like your alder is different than ours, not much sap on alnus rubra. Very clean wood.

Alnus nigra is the predominant species here, sticks like a mofo, chips turn red after chipping. The wls love it and it grows everywhere.

I've had my glove staying in place on the 161T during coffee breaks, that sticky.

P.sub growing questions

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, I've done a search and found some epic threads, but they're older and somewhat conflicting...
I'm attempting to grow an outdoor p.sub patch and have some questions about substrate and growing conditions...

1. Loads of threads recommend pine substrate - does this include pine bark or should i stick to woodchips and pinecones?

2. Do they like kiwifruit woodchips? I've heard they grow pretty well in kiwifruit orchards and I have a vine nearby i can chip up and feed them. Unfortunately the spot underneath is is heavily colonized by other mushrooms so I'm avoiding that as my sub patch.

3. My wild subs are from my local sand dunes (NZ, deep south)... should I add some local beach sand to the substrate, seeing as this is the environment they're adapted to?

4. Finally, what makes a good outdoor spot? I know they like shade and damp. Can a spot be too wet? What are their sunlight requirements? Does the spot need to remain frost free?

Thank you kindly 🙏

Made another Cyan patch with hwfp spawn. 1

unicorn 3-t bag per 5 square feet( actually slightly less but for the sake of brevity…..). Anyhow, the chips have been in my yard in a large pile, composting for a while now. I think it’s safe to say other organisms started calling them home. These were fermented for 2 weeks in an effort to kill off whomever.

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.

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.

Pure Peppermint oil is also like holy water to cockroaches, they won't come nowhere near the scent. Its how we kept the kitchen clear and decent back in amish country. Try iHerb.com if you're living overseas, they sell the real stuff, not that bullshit 'extract' for baking purposes lol

I keep cape sundew plants in my house in the windows and under lights by my grows, no fungus gnats anymore. They eat them ALL. It's to the point I'm worried my poor babies won't have enough to eat! :lol:

anyone remember a pic from a few years back where a guy had a bunch of ovoid spawn/he spilled a bunch and then forgot about it... few seasons later he had like an upside down trash can he moved and found like a mega flush underneath that they werent even aware of lol

at least thats how i remember it in my head.. the picture was for sure like a forgotten trash can that was bumped or moved and a massive canopy of ovoids or some woodlovers were discovered underneath

cant find it for the life of me
