 +  * 4 – 4.30 pm hands-on demonstrations of inoculation 
 +  * 4.30 – 6/7 pm - inoculation party = 'make your hands clean' experimenting with several recipes of the bulk substrates and mushroom species for the indoor and outdoor growing. (yumyum)
 +
 +==== Visit#3 23-30.5.12 aims to: ====
 +
 +  * Birthing the fungal mycelium indoor: adjusting conditions and transferring inoculated mediums from the incubation room/period to the growing-room/period and stimulate the mycelium in changing its objective and generate primordia (mushrooms).
 +  * Maintenance of the fungal colonies outdoor: logs and mushroom beds at the backside of the building.
 +  * Finishing the experimental mushroom-hugel-bed
 +  * Inter-planting non-green and green garden at suspended beds, hugel-bed.
 +  * Theoretical research and process documentation along the way.
 +  * Writing a set of instructions on 'how to maintain in/outdoor mushrooms colonies' in order to support the next 2d-3d mushroom-flushes (indoor), as well as outdoor fruiting in the late summer/fall. (as I'll be away till the middle of August).
