is this a good idea for slightly contaminated jars

#667501 - 06/07/02 12:17 PM (21 years, 6 months ago)

I started a dozen jars of cubies using the pf tec and about half of them have small amounts of various contaminants which the shrooms are winning against. I was wondering if it would be ok to bury the contents of the jars in our old horse field (horse manure soil) and just let the shrooms try to get themselves started in the wild up in VT. Is this a bad idea concidering the contamination factor? Nobody is going to be around to pick/mess with the shrooms for well over a month so this generation won't be eaten but what I'm asking I guess would it be fine to eat any shrooms that are around the field at the end of the summer assuming that they grow? Would they grow?

My friend does just that when he gets a contamed casing or bulk he usually burries it with sum dung out side in a shady spot and very often gets sum fine results for his efforts .

Friend of a friend has done this with spent cakes and contam cakes past 2 springs and summer with no success.

Few times he said he saw mycelium come up to the surface but it never fruited.

All i can say is yes, try it, i've did the same outdoors but i did had good climatic conditions and didn't get any result. Just don't leave the manure without moisture, water it when you see it's drying out, the idea is to get a humid and hot enviroment, hope it helps.

Peace,
