+ | ==== Meeting notes (Tim, Marc, Natalia) ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Beginning of May: garden and mushrooms | ||
+ | Inside: quickly growing. Multiple types, different methods and substrates | ||
+ | Calendar of various results. Keeping track of what works: | ||
+ | * Wood type | ||
+ | * Mushroom type | ||
+ | * Location | ||
+ | * Method | ||
+ | * Substrate recipes | ||
+ | * How to sit the mushroom 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/ | ||
+ | * Inoculated logs completely buried in soil, horizontally | ||
+ | * Inoculated logs upright, 1/3 flower pots indoor and in soil outside | ||
+ | * Substrates | ||
+ | * Mushroom types: Elm oyster, (King stropharia, Shaggy mane - next visit/ | ||
+ | * Some logs partially buried (soil, pots, in/outdoor) first meeting | ||
+ | * Tomato beds: half-half wooden chips-sawdust, | ||
+ | * Make connection with Mykologische Arbeitsgemeinschaft, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Timeplan ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * 14-18.3.12 | ||
+ | * Inoculate the logs we have and store them 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 used espresso grounds. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * 1st week in May | ||
+ | * 7-10 days | ||
+ | * Setting up more or less everything! | ||
+ | * Workshop on 5th May - ' | ||
+ | * Materials all prepared: spawn, logs, beeswax, chips, sawdust, coffee grounds | ||
+ | * Workshop for people to come and take home a next generation | ||
+ | * 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. 2 weeks later for indoor. Outdoor will be even later (2 month) - late July through October. | ||
+ | * Logs might take 0.5 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. 5-7 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. | ||
+ | ==== Practical implementations ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Outdoor: | ||
+ | * Elm/2 x Beech/plugs (upright, 1/3 into the soil) | ||
+ | * Changeable agaric/1 x Ash, 1 x Birch, 1 x Alder/plugs (upright, 1/3 into the soil) | ||
+ | * Nomeko/2 x Beech/ | ||
+ | * Leon's mane/2 x Beech/old grains (upright, 1/3, soil) | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Indoor: | ||
+ | * Oysters/ | ||
