Very interesting Question
    #6830835 - 04/25/07 06:14 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

If it's crucial to have complete sterility, precise temperature and nearly perfect humidity to grow P. Cubensis, then how do they grow in their natural environment? It would be impossible to mature as a mushroom in natural conditions... it sounds as if a P. Cubensis growing in the wild should be as rare as albinism. If anyone could share some light on this phenomenon please do

With indoor cultivation you're sterilizing nutrients and putting mushroom spores in there to germinate and grow on the nutrients. If you're not sterile then other spores or bacteria from things you don't want to have growing (contaminates) will start to compete for the same nutrients. Usually those other things will grow faster than the mushroom mycelium and in any case you end up growing things other than mushroom mycelium.

In the wild natural niches form that are ideal for the growth of certain organisms and less ideal for others and there are lots of nutrients. The mushroom mycelium in nature would simply just form a barrier when it encounters foreign growth and grow the other direction. Really there's mushroom mycelium all over and only in the certain spots that are shaded well and damp produce fruits anyways. Also once mycelium is established, it is pretty resistant to contaminates.

It's good that you're curious about this but it really makes sense how the wild differs from indoors. Maybe others will chime in and give you further clarification as well. Once you've done some grows you will probably understand this well enough anyways.

Right to the above...

In nature, the mycelium can grow any direction, as far as it wants. If the food nearbye gets eaten by a contam, then it would just grow the other way.

In a little jar, there is only so much food to digest and if it gets eaten by a contam first, the mycelium has nothing to grow on.
