Zen Peddler Posted May 20, 2012 Wow. has someone put some work into that? There were some patchs at a university I wont mention (although the secret is well and truly out) and a dude isolated and tried to improve the strain. he established some amazing patchs back in the early 2000s but they got ransacked in the end. Either way great find and pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shroomeup Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Nah mate, as far as I know this little patch popped up all of its own accord. Last year they were bigger mushrooms and larger clusters. I think theyve already chewed up alot of the nutes in that mulch. I'll see if I can get more pics of the next flush. Thanks everyone for the kind words but I cant take any credit for the growth of this patch. Cheers, Edited May 21, 2012 by Shroomeup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mysubtleascention Posted May 31, 2012 Cheers fellas, yeah this is only a few parts of the patch. Theres another part of it with thousdands of shriveled up dead subs that would have been even more impressive. None of them will be picked though, so these guys will be left to do their thing and release billions of spores around the hood. It is indeed mate. Note the dyed woodchips .. is this dye the natural color of the wood chips or a special supplement .. ? Impressive result indeed ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wassonova Posted July 9, 2012 everybody else has already said it, but "holy shit!". i second Zen PBG's query as to whether this patch had a little help along in getting established and am stunned to read Shroomeup's answer that they popped up of their own accord. Ridiculous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goneski Posted July 10, 2012 How beautiful. I can just imagine the network of mycelium under the surface to create this, whole ecosystems living and breathing and shyly showing themselves when the time is right. Only to have clueless people completely rip it all up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
incognito Posted October 17, 2012 Looks like euc chips. I've seen em come up THiCKER this season past in a church yard. Last season was a cracker. Wondering, are euc chips fine to use on a sub patch?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horus Posted October 17, 2012 I used euc chips ,grew the myc with the cardboard Tek. Made the patch 3 years ago, fruited for the 1st time this year, So patience is also a factor, it can lurk or be dormant. Once they have used up the tucker in the chips just top up the patch with horse or cow poo. Im very interested to see what happens in my yard next season.

Shroomeup Posted November 25, 2012 Just about done for this patch i think. Friend has gone and covered the garden in pine bark mulch! Dammit. Interesting thing i found out digging there the other day, the whole garden was covered with black plastic prior to laying the mulch originaly. So the whole mat of myc is seperated from the ground.

Zen Peddler Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Up in the hills mate? ive seen a few around the traps but not quite as 'dense' as that. Years and years back near one of the science buildings at Latrobe Uni there was an area that had upwards of 4,000 specimens in a 6 by 6 metre area but I read years later a student picked them all each year, ruined the patch and sold them to fund a trip around europe. You see, capitalism ruins everything... Edited January 1, 2013 by Zen Peddler BlueGreenie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Peddler Posted January 2, 2013 This was a patch that legend said (back in the late 90s) that it had been reisolated and reinvigorated a number of times by some budding bio students and their friends. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsychMaster Posted January 3, 2013 fuck you melbournites are lucky. we queenslanders have to risk getting attacked by bulls to pick our cubes/subs are unheard of up here.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shroomeup Posted January 13, 2013 Seen a few pics by a guy named olive on Shroomery. He had best results from pine bark mulch. Interesting about the black mat. FOAF just found a woodchip bed that lay above black plastic. 6 inch thick with pine bark mulch. FOAF put a handful of spawn in it from the 'mother patch'. Be interesting to see what happens come june in WA. Really. Will be interesting to see what comes of it aye. Up in the hills mate? ive seen a few around the traps but not quite as 'dense' as that.
