Outdoor mushroom growing.

[hunt4genetics]

I have searched many mushroom grow web sites, but there is one topic I have never seen covered. Outdoor mushroom cultivation. Not food varieties shitake, etc... but drug varieties. I have never seen a grow done outdoors. These mushrooms naturally occur outdoors.. i.e. growing in cow sh*t.


Why is that?

peace

I live in florida and we just take the cow shit we find shrooms in and place it in the shade and keep it moist...works just fine.

look up a tec for "woodlovers". (where legal, of course) grow mycelium indoors in late summer/ early fall, and fruit outside in fall/ early winter (depending on where you are). you can even (if you are stealthy enough) plant the bed under an already laid wood chip pile (ie, someone's garden), and no one would be any the wiser. until they see you in their garden picking mushrooms with a huge smile on your face.

woodlovers include some of the most potent species of p mushies in the world.


heres one

I always figured that most of the ppl growing mushies lived in places where mushies dont grow in the wild..I threw a few of my spent cakes outside and they still fruited...only a few mushies but if the cakes hadnt been exhausted...they prob would have fruited a lot more. Slugs went crazy on the cakes I left outside though

mushrooms grow all over the place. panaeolus subbalteatus (or cinctulus) grows pretty much everywhere, supposedly. but in the u.s., psilocybe cubensis occur pretty much only around the gulf coast (probably with some rare exceptions), and that specie is pretty much the standard for indoor growing.

those slugs must have been very happy

You can grow lots of edible mushrooms outside too, not just the hallucinogenic ones.

lol, "drug varieties". Check the shroomery in an in-depth way, they have a plethora of knowledge about growing outdoor cubes/cyans.

Oh, and most people don't because in the climate where they thrive outdoors... they kind of already grow like weeds, and there is a 1,000,000,000,000x greater chance for contamination/bug feast, but if you're in the PNW you could spawn some wood chips like nepalnt21 said and have a garden every year.
