Shroom-Aura Posted July 12, 2004 mazatec_luv: *what kind of wood is best for sub relocating I wanna know this too. Would the yellow pine chips they sell at the hardware store work? mazatec_luv:*Can I inoculate vermiculite/brown rice flour with sub spores, What would be better Im think u can innoculate them to PF. it will colonise it but it wont fruit from it [ 11.

visualfx Posted July 12, 2004 *what kind of wood is best for sub relocating i would imagine the type of wood they were originally growing in would be best. eucalypt is good, pine...not so good. *Can they be relocated in a botanical garden bed if the right wood mulch is used yes, but...if you want good result, you got to make sure the spot you choose has the right conditions for fruiting. for example if you relocate to a spot that gets a good whack of direct sunlight during the middle of the day, your mulch will likely dry out and the mycelium will die. *Can I inoculate vermiculite/brown rice flour with sub spores, What would be better yes. but inoculating spores onto agar would be much better, that way you are able to isolate the best and most vigorous mycelium and use that to innoculate your grain jars. only take what you need to start a new patch. don't totally destroy a good patch by filling your bags with kilos of good mycelium. only take the mycelium if you are totally confident that you have found a good loction to transfer to and are confident of your methods. i'm all for spreading the fungi, as long as the intentions aren't selfish, ie. uprooting an entire patch and moving it to your back yard. good luck.

waterdragon Posted July 13, 2004 moving individual subs to a suitable location should be the go as you'd get growth off the stub and heaps of spores from the cap. you could pick a stack of subs and soak them for an hour or so in water then use the spore rich water for spraying about the place.

spiders Posted July 13, 2004 Id suggest transplating the colonised wood chips - nice and easy - fruiting in the next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
