 +==== Meeting notes (Tim, Marc, Natalia) ==== 
 + 
 +Beginning of May: planting garden and mushrooms 
 +Inside: quickly growing. Multiple types, different methods 
 +Calendar of various results. Keeping track of what works:  
 +   * Wood type 
 +   * Mushroom type  
 +   * Location 
 +   * Method 
 +   * How to sit the logs, type of bed layered, content and construction 
 + 
 +==== Plans ==== 
 + 
 +   * Out the back, narrow, playground, different beds, i.e. multiple structures of layers, different logs. Burying some logs in the ground (completely and 1/3) to soak up water from the ground. Danger of animals digging the beds up. 
 +      * 20-30 cm wide, depth of wood chips/sawdust x 5-10cm 
 +      * Inoculated logs completely buried in soil, horizontally 
 +      * Inoculated logs upright, 1/3 flower pots indoor and in soil outside 
 +      * Substrates 
 +      * 5 mushroom types: Elm oyster, (King stropharia, Shaggy mane - next visit/garden), Nameko, Shiitake (slimy and delicious), Leion's mane, Changeable agric. Mixing mushroom types is not good.  
 +      * Some logs partially buried (soil, pots, in/outdoor) first meeting 
 +   * Tomato beds: half-half wooden chips-sawdust, mycelium and soil (pizza-bed.) Layers for mycelium: soil, wood chips, inoculated grains, wood chips, paper/card with holes, soil with plants into the holes: tomatoes, basil,... extra foods, e.g. dog food/cat soup should be good for mushrooms 
 +   * Make connection with Mykologische Arbeitsgemeinschaft, Botanischer Garten in Linz and local fungi-addicted people 
 +==== Timeplan ==== 
 + 
 +   * 14-18.3  
 +      * Inoculate (all) the logs we have. these logs should be stored where appropriate. 
 +      * Some logs buried - need some sawdust. 
 +      * Prepare the first log-beds out the back 
 +      * Chainsaw to size 
 +      * Woodchips with the electric plane and pasteurize them 
 + 
 +   * Mid April fresh sawdust and wood chips - 2 weeks beforehand is optimal. 3 weeks less so but okay. 
 +   * Also collect espresso grounds - helps balance the soil pH - get a few days before Natalia arrives. 
 + 
 +   * 1st week in May 
 +     * 7-10 days 
 +     * Setting up more or less everything! 
 +     * Workshop on 5th May - 'Spawn-2-substrate techniques, low-tek propagation' 
 +     * Materials all prepared: plugs, logs, beeswax, chips, sawdust, coffee grounds 
 +     * Cap for spore printing or for more mycelium 
 +     * Workshop for people to come and take home a next generation 
 +     * Try making plugs and the inoculated grains - this might be too hard 
 +     * Workshop people making the logs for us and maybe taking one with them - knowledge exchange 
 +     * Indoor wood chips and grains - this is for the June clone party 
 +     * Get in contact with Leos friend (mushroom expert) - get details off Leo / set a time for an informal meeting 
 + 
 +   * Third phase depends on when the mushrooms come. 6 weeks later for indoor. Outdoor will be even later - late August through October. 
 +   * Logs might take 1-2 years to start and be (fully) productive. 
 +     * Cloning event in June - say around 18-27 June 
 +     * We will see the mycelium 2 weeks beforehand. it looks like a cake. Then shock it (light, maybe cold), open it slightly (fresh air), wait a few days 3-4, then pinning. then 7 days to the mushroom. 4-5 days of mushrooms before they dry out.  
 +     * Cloning from stems. 
 +     * Main event mid/end September. Details to follow. 
 +    
 +   * Ongoing - every 2-3 years beds expending. Logs can produce 2-8 years depending on the type of mushroom, wood, size of the log and conditions.
