Carrots and eryngii
    #7899437 - 01/18/08 09:54 PM (16 years, 14 days ago)

Has anyone grown eryngii on carrot pulp? I've been given a juicer, and I've got lots of eryngii spawn on a paper/coir/chocolate powder substrate. Was thinking that carrot pulp might be ideal. I've also got lots of cheap corriander seeds, for another experiment. And a jar of stinky asafoetida powder with edible starches and guar gum for some agar experiments.
Any input appreciated. I'll take photos and try and work out how to post them-eventually.

Carrots can be used like potato for the agar medium, do yes, you can use it if P.eryngii likes PDA.

Thanks Fabio, actually I'm hoping to use carrot pulp as the bulk substrate to fruit from.

Carrots would probably work. I have some oysters beginning to fruit now on orange and lemon peels. I think oysters will eat just about anything plant based.

Wow, is that just the peels, or did you add something to them?

Just orange and lemon peels, first dried, then re-hydrated, mixed with a bit of vermiculite to hold moisture and provide a path between the peels, and then sterilized. It's just now starting to fruit. I'll know in a few days if it's any good or not.

You know, I thought this was going to be a question about growing carrots and P. eryngii together!

This does lead to another question, though.  In its natural environment, this mushroom grows along with the sea holly plant, right?  Sea holly plants grow near... you guessed it, the sea!  They get really big growing in salty areas, so I guess I'm asking if adding salt to my substrate will help anything along.

Sea holly is a type of thistle.  I wonder if companion planting P. eryngii with asparagus would work...

The Eryngii loved the carrot pulp.

I'm spawning some to my outdoor garden, so I might be able to see if they enhance or hinder carrots and other Umbells.

Here's some pics-the bag had carrot pulp, egg shells, oats and coir.
Nice little harvest.





I've got a bag that colonized onion skins, citrus peels and milky porridge-no decent shrooms yet, but a couple of "cauliflowers"-masses of tiny pins.
