- | ==== Timeline | + | ==== 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/ | ||
+ | * 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/ | ||
+ | * 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 | ||
+ | * 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 - ' | ||
+ | * 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. | ||
