Introducing mushroom species to an environment.

Once you get your regular mushrooms outside, contamination isn't very likely. Nature has a way of keeping bacteria down. Throw a piece of bread outside, you're probably not going to see mold ever grow on it.

I think there are companies out there that sell spawn bags with mycelium already beginning to grow in it. If you're growing outside, just buy a bag and throw it out there. Granted, there's other things you need to do, but it's pretty easy. They love water..

 

Yeah...better than trying indoors and then dying from your mushroom salad (If they're the edible kind that is) (and non-psychedelic should a mod be watching)

I've always wanted to try growing my own, the fungus among us has always fascinated me since I've ben told im a fun guy.

 

If I were growing legal edible mushrooms could I just inject the spore syringe into some dirt in the woods and come back every few days?

 

You would be lucky if this worked. It would be better to get the mycelium growing in a controlled environment before introducing it to the outdoors.

It also depends on what kind of mushrooms you want to produce. This is probably the worst website to find info on this.

I am a mushroom grow/fanatic and shroomery.org is where it's at

 

for sure...shroomery :]


I think you would need a substrate of some sort for the spores

 

Many mushrooms require VERY specific growing conditions - if you don't have the precise substrate/temperature/humidity they simply won't grow. Some are myocorrhizal, meaning they will only grow on extremely specific substrate - these are the ones you see popping up on only one dead log out of hundreds that are similar in the same area (morels are an example). This is why lots of species of mushrooms you see in grocery stores can be quite expensive; they can't be grown commercially, only harvested in the wild.

So basically, trying to grow your own mushrooms is pretty damn tough without a controlled environment, and even then it can be quite difficult.

 

ralphster's spores has spawn substrates , spore syringes, everything you need for colonization

 

GO to Shroomery.org I went there and learned to grow shrooms . I came here to learn about marijuana .

 

colonize a big bag of substrate
get a bunch of pasteurized shit
put shit in back yard patch
throw colonized bag of substrate on shit
???
win


then again, ive never tried to grow fungus outside so i don't know how the outdoors would effect this...it'd be very dependant on where you live

 

Not really, that is not a suitable environment for mycelium colonization
Its possible, just not likely. Plus it would take a lot of spore solution

 

Yeah ralphster's is the best, I've had nothing but great experiences with them

 

your logic still seems flawed. Its like going to the hardware store for a gallon of milk
