I'm HOT for Teacher * 4
    #4563577 - 08/21/05 05:13 PM (18 years, 5 months ago)

I have to say first off I am in complete awe of this backyard bed! After much reading here in the forums I decided to go bulk outside. A raised bed was constructed with bricks, and into the mix went 2 40lb bags of worm castings, 2 small bales of straw from Michaels, a tarp full of local horse manure/wood shavings, and 2 bags of vermiculite. The mix was layered on top of a soaker hose (thanks Joshua) along with 6 quarts of colonized WBS - Golden Teacher. Colinization was quick, and right at the 3 week mark pins were surfacing throughout. In no way was I prepared for what happened next......the following three days I picked huge flushes both in the morning and night. Everytime I cleared a colony there was another group ripening right behind it. The fruits were extremely healty looking, beefy as hell..... many being in the 40 to 70 gram range. 3 5 foot screens were layered with fruits for fan drying while the excalibur food dehydrator comes in the mail......so no word of yield yet...but it sure looks plentiful. Thanks to all the Moderators, and incredibly knowledgable people on this site.....you encourage us all to be cultivators of the devine! I'll try and update with 2nd flush results-

Second Flush Update: The bed is again exploding aproximately 8 days after the first run. Groupings are more spread out this time, and a little smaller, but are forming in very dense clusters. Counted 23 fruits in one colony last night. The first picture is after we removed 2 huge groupings from the bed. Couldn't shrink the pictures down small enough, so sorry for lack of other good shots. A note to Jeremy Davis.......no pasturazation was used for the medium. Some spawn was carefully distributed in each layer of medium. I went heavy on the vermiculite/straw on top so no birdseed was showing. Haven't had any squirrel or animal problems so far......best of luck to ya!

JD - heres a pic of the newest EQ bed. You can see it coming off the left of the Golden Teacher bed. The Fern kind of devides the new equadors from the teachers. The teachers are again mounting a good run - 30 oz. total yield from the second flush-

Well fellow cultivators........looks like the EQ project is not going to be very fruitful. Its been 5 weeks since spawning the new bed, and the only thing that has popped up is another interesting non cubensis looking mushroom. The medium has little sign of colonization either so, sadly......no massive Eq shots to share with everyone. I think the primary reason was not enough spawn, I dug this bed about 2 inches deeper than the Golden Teacher bed, and didn't add as much spawn. Feel like the EQ mycelium never really got the momentum going that it needed. Anyway......learned a lot from these runs.......and got really intersted in cultivation of all different types of fungi. Just got Stamets book on Cultivating Gourmet and medicinal fungi....so will be doing some research on that route. Will be living in the blue ridge mts. next year....much cooler, and wetter climate so will try some azures along with the woodloving species. Thanks to all for the knowledge in spurring on this great project......really opened me up towards a new form of cultivation. Last pick is of the other specie that popped up....anyone know what it is?
