Yeah just regular woodchips. Fuel pellets are too small / dustlike, bark isn't ideal in terms of nutrients.

My mycelium also looks faint on agar (.5% brf), but as soon as it hits wood it gets a lot denser. Could be the atmosphere in the dish too, but I guess it's the food source. Anyway you can expand further and you skipped grains, which probably saves you some hassle further down the line. Nothing as annoying as finding your patch dug out and churned.

Great no grain, I like that. Maybe once I move it it'll be happier. The cyans are throwing ropes and the serbica looks strong. The allenii looks sad hopefully a transfer will fix this.

I have a bin of fermenting woodchips I sterilise before I use. Hopefully a long soak doesn't affect them. In bigger grows I wouldn't sterilise and I used to just use fermented chip. However, a lot of people recommend sterilising so I am going that route.

Do some use LC to pour over fermented wood chips?  Last year, I went from agar>grain>hwfp>dry ass fuckin wood chips (my mistake) with azzies… this year I have lots of clean LC of azzies and cyans.

Can I just dump LC over drained chips?  And how long do I wait before all the anaerobic microbes are dead?

Been reading Stamets’ new book…

LC to grain to wood is far more reliable IME.

LC to natural unsterilized wood, fermented or not, has rarely worked for me.

3 buckets of oak wood chips that are almost done fermenting! Gonna send them with some Azures/wayans/ps cyan and subs spawn.

A potential silly question. Do you guys bag the fermented woodchips after drying them, move them in front a flowie then send the grain spawn or do you just do it on the spot, open air?

I just mix up the spawn and wood chips in open air. Woodlovers are usually really aggressive and the mycelium spreads quickly. Trich takes a while to show up on bare wood and if it does I just pick out the chip showing it and throw it away

I think fermented chips might be more prone to contamination in a plastic bag, I'd think with fermented chips it would be better to have that outdoors

open air either way

I see people using sterilized wood chips and others using fermented wood chips. What’s the benefit of one over the other? Do fermented chips need to be sterilized?

Not required, no.  Sterilized chips are energy intensive and used for smaller projects indoors to let the mycelium get a foothold.  Fermenting is an easy way to kill off competive fungi/molds on a large scale.

I pretty much always start with (grains 2) sterilized chips. Then I will expand mycelium to either fermented or just soaked chips, no matter what the size of the project is. Mycelium on sterile chips is a very solid base for any project. Just 1 or 2 bags can be expanded into infinity onto less treated or untreated chips. This is why I never get the argument of how energy intensive it is to sterilise a bag of wood chips. We run PCs all the time. And usually for mushrooms that will only last a few flushes, not multiple years like woodlovers.

Been waiting for this all winter! Got the ovoid bed started today. Best part is I get to kill some lawn and get a nice native woodland garden going.

Started by spading up and flipping the grass. Then a layer of spent soil from last years grow bags. Next a layer of fresh mulch. Then a layer of ovoid sawdust spawn. Capped with another layer of mulch. Each layer thoroughly watered in. Can't wait to see what its looking like in a few weeks!

My Azurescens patch was in a sad state and beyond repair so a completely new one had to de made. The last remaining bits of wood chips are now mulch somewhere else in the garden.

This time I didn't do any digging but instead heightened the flag stones and made a rock perimeter around the patch so that it will now be slightly elevated for better drainage.

Preparation work done


Wood chips lasagna making


All of the pictured wood spawn was made with grains 2 sterile chips.
In this case 1/2 jar to 1 XLS bag and the tub had 2 bags worth of sterile chips and 1 jar of grain spawn. Spawned to about 200 liters of soaked chips last week.

Appreciate you giving an update even when things aren’t looking great…. Boutta do one of those myself here soon due to slime mold takeover last fall :sad:

Part of the process, I guess. Hope this new arrangement treats you real good
