it's in my fathers garden. I don't l9ive there anymore but the shrooms still grow there.
I got some colonized woodchips from someone (i saw you can buy spawnbags at azarius too now) and put some chips in a few jars with sterilized rye. after colonization I transfered the rye to bags with sterilized woodchips (beach, in NL beuken). when it was colonized I dus a hole in the back of the garden between bushes, approximately 1 square meter. and 15-20 cm deep.
I bought beech chips in a garden center (about 30 kilo's I guess) and let them soak for about 24 houres. I placed half of the chips in the hole and sprinkled the bag with colonized woodchips on it. I covered it with the other half of the soaked chips.
NOTE: you don't have too cook/sterilize all the wood, only the wood you use for making a spawnbag!
this is the second year they fruit and they survived the extremely hot sumer without watering them. next spring I'm going to add more woodchips.
hope this story helps you.

Because it´s cultivated outdoors u don´t have any
control concerned to plagues or air conditions!
U can do a spawn bag or buy a spawn bag already made!
Build outside a sheat of small logs cuted from trees drop the spawn in there! U have to choose a timing! I personally think that Spring is the best time to do it! /forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif But i don´t realy have any outdoor experience, because u can also grow them indoor! /forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I have a nice backyard, where I have some fruit trees, and I have all the conditions to have some shrooms growing there.
I have a lot of time until spring to learn more about outdoor growing, and then, if I can get some spores, I will try to grow them.
Meantime, all the information is greatly apreciated.

Making spawn for the woodloving outdoor species
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This procedure describes a method of making spawn for the woodloving outdoor species (i.e. Psilocybe azurescens, P. cyanescens, P. bohemica).
This spawn can be used to inoculate outdoor beds with woodchips. The creation of outdoor patches is (will be) described in another document.
Procedure
The spawn is based on small woodchips that can be bought in a pet-store. It is used as animal bedding but can also be used to smoke fish and meat. These chips are made from beech.
The chips are boiled in water until they sink (approx 1 hour). Alternatively you can soak them in water for some time. Moisture content is right when they sink.
'
Now drain the chips and let all the loose water run off
Some oatmeal is added to the mixture (approximately one cup for every 3 litre wood chips). This is to boost and speed up mycelial growth. You can also use bran instead of oatmeal.
The oatmeal is mixed in!
This mixture is filled into autoclavable spawn bags (or jars)
To prevent the bags from blocking the steam valve, a metal lid is placed on top the bags
The bags are sterilised for 2 hours in a pressure cooker (for jars 1 hour will suffice)
The bags/jars are cooled down in front of a laminar flowhood
When they have cooled down they can be inoculated from rye grain spawn. Don’t use too much as this will give problems when it is placed outside in the beds as grain attracts vermin.
We use about 300 ml for one spawnbag
After spawning the bags are sealed with an impulse seale
They are checked for leaks and punctures.
Finally they are shaken and incubated
Depending on the temperature and species used, bags will completely colonise within 2-3 weeks.Bags can be placed at room temperature.
/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif It might be a little complicated but it´s not so hard to do! /forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif
