Colonizing a cow pasture
#5605052 - 05/08/06 01:36 PM (17 years, 8 months ago) |

There's a cow pasture near my house, which does not produce mushrooms. I've started an outdoor grow bed with some of the manuer from the field and left it totally in the hands of nature. The result: mushrooms after each rain.
I've got some PF cakes which have gone through three flushes. I've an idea to cut them into bits (just like I did to make the outdoor bed) and walk around the field planting the cake pieces into suitable patties. I could easily do this to about a hundred patties in an afternoon, cutting the pieces small. Once they begin to fruit, they'll drop their spores and nature should take its course.
What do you think?

Depends on your areas year round climate, and the strain/species.

also spend cake bits are tired after 3 flushes. this would be more liekly to work if you make cakes up especially for the task.

LOL, this reminded me of what I did the other day at my parents cow harm. I made a bunch of syringes from prints I thought might have been dirty, and sprayed down all the hay bales lol. I don't figure anything will happen but, better than just tossing them,lol. I figured maybe Ill get lucky in a couple months and find a couple shroomies after a good rain.

Yeah, I've read that post before. I'm going to try and concentrate the patties I impregnate around the hay bales, so the spores land on them.
I live in Texas and with the succes of the grow bed, which was left totally untended, I think this plan will work. I'll keep you guys posted during the next few months/year.

so I take it you dont plan on picking most of the shrooms, so that the spores can colonize the whole field?

piece of cake will work far bettr tehn spores or LC. for whwtever reason spores and LC just don' take well on straight poopy. it would be nice to be able to just kick up a mono tup of pop and not have o deal with grain spawn. oh well its not a hobby if its impossibly simple.

Actually, you CAN inject a poo bag with a good LC. It works quite well from what Ive read. Im wanting to try it out myself real soon.

i read a post by agar 2 out of 50 didn't sounds like good odds to me. if it worked that well id gladly not bother with grain spawn i think most people would gladly skip that.

Well, today I cut up two freshly colonized cakes and got about 30 pieces out of it. I plunged them all into cow patties of various ages. I usually find mushrooms growing on the old ones, but I spread it out just to be sure.
Well, I swear, someone else is trying to grow mushrooms in this same field. I found a few cow patties stacked together mixed with some hay out there (a lot like my outdoor grow bed). Then, after years of searching this field, I find what might be some cubensis growing on a cow patty. I can't ID it for sure, because they're almost completely dried and they look a little funky. They're not bluing, but I'm guessing that's because they're so dried out. They look like they were a bit scaly so, I don't know.
We'll see what happens.

that rocks.
two dudes trying to grow in the same pasture.
If all works out for either of you, there will be fruits there for years to come.

What i would do is take a gallon of sterile potato dextrose water and dip a spore print in there under and get all the spores in (in a glove box or by a flowhood) then let that colonize for a couple weeks or whatever then dilite that lc with ten gallons of sterile water.
then i would run around the pasture with 11 gallons of lc injecting every turd pile i could find.
but im just crazy like the, lol

do it.
totally do it.
we need more experiments. Put the mycelium everywhere.
Traveling to u.s. for bonnaroo, want to plant patches there.

it wouldn't do me much good. they wouldn't come back the following year. cube spores have been thrown around by winds and hurricanes for probably allot of a millions of years, they have already spread everywhere they will grow naturally.

the face means:
that's too bad. I would love to spread cube spores/mycelium throughout so they would be available all over.
but I know you are right. They are subtropical and only grow where they can, and there they are already there.
Just a face of a little dream disintegrating..

I heard if you cut an apple in half and make a print right on the apple then feed the apple to a cow its stomach will do the rest.
