I just got paranoid about them drying out due to the fabric buckets.

Same rule of thumb applies to all pots be them plants or mushrooms. Pick them up and get used to the weight. Both dry and wet. Weigh them if you have to but it's a bit overkill. I even apply this rule to indoor trays when growing section zapotecorum being they tend to like tons of misting and it accumulates.

Thank you!
Yeah the problem was that i did not use a wire mesh to keep rodents away from the patch.
Got the advice here to use a wire mesh but the forest is at the edge of a town, so there are a lot of walkers.
Did not want to let it attract peoples attention...
The first layer of woodchips has been broken up by rodents trying to get the rye berries.
Next time i will choose a better spot, far off civilization. 
More grain jars of both species are in progress.

Lay down wire mesh and put chips on top of it and rocks to hold it down. The mycelium will grow through the mesh onto the chips above. So you can totally hide it
