| + | ==== Timeplan ==== | ||
| - | | + | * 14-18.3 |
| + | * Inoculate | ||
| + | * Some logs buried - need some sawdust. | ||
| + | * Prepare | ||
| + | * Chainsaw to size | ||
| + | * Woodchips with the electric plane and pasteurize them | ||
| - | * do theoretical research while working | + | * 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 - 'Spawn-2-substrate techniques, low-tek propagation' | ||
| + | * 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 | ||
| - | * sketch | + | * Third phase depends on when the mushrooms come. 6 weeks later for indoor. Outdoor will be even later - late August through October. |
| - | * harvest some more logs | + | * 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. | ||
