+ | |||
+ | ==== Evaluation: ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I've been contemplating mushroom cultivation as a source of ongoing surprises and unmatched nutritional supremacy since almost a year now. Most of edible mushrooms I've grown so far were wood-decomposes (Lentinus edodes, Pholiota nameko, Hypsizygus Ulmarius, Stropharia rugosoannulata and 5 different types of P. Ostreatus). During the winter time I kept them indoor and fed with all kind of cellulose-based household waste and when the spring came i let them out to thrive on something tastier - logs, straw, wood-chips and garden scraps at my Berlin-terrace. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | The next step/stop was the urban garden at Times' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | * INDOOR NGG: In connection with the inocultion workshop there were 24 mushroom-objects created by participants and myself for the INDOOR grow- test. The fruiting variables were already expected in 10 days upon inoculation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | * OUTDOOR NGG: Front-side of the TU builting (direct sun): mushrooms were inter-planted with veggies at 2 suspended beds. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Backside (semi-shadow): | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Myco-hugel/ | ||
+ | From the beginning of May til the end of October there were continuously growing mushrooms: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Almost all indoor object did well and fruit massively 3,4 times each, from May til the end of August (spread sheet) | ||
+ | |||
+ | * The back side was perfect for Stropharia (if not to consider slugs) - 3,4 crops over July-> | ||
+ | |||
+ | * The logs at the back side started fruiting in September and will do so few times per year over 3-4 years long (i hope). In winter they will go dormant and have to be protected from freezing with straw or dry leaves. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * The suspended bed at the front side of the building was critical for Stropharia because of the direct sun hit and a lack of watering. V. P. djamor (The pink oyster mushroom) at the same bed enjoyed this conditions and gave a few crops over summer. The same goes for White Elm Mushroom (Hypsizygus Ulmarius) which was inter-planted with strawberry and did very well. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Most of the overloaded TU members did not really catch up what was this mushroom extraterrestriality about. Some one rejected the connection, some one had to take over most of duties of caring about (too many) adopted strangers they liked to use for the ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | //More about Stropharia rugosoannulata (King stropharia, Garden giants):// | ||
+ | There are 3 Stropharia-beds were planted in spring: | ||
+ | * 1 x suspended bed in-front of the building (direct sun) | ||
+ | - Stropharia (wooden chips) inter-planted with Tomatoes, Basil and Sweet Pepper. | ||
+ | * 2 x ' | ||
+ | Stropharia did not fruit at the suspended bed, not at all. (Vegetables and Pink Oyster at the same bed did very well though). I found the wooden chips with Stropharia' | ||
+ | Reasons: | ||
+ | The bed is constructed the way that it looses water very fast and fully depend on someone' | ||
+ | The other 2 beds at semi-shade/ | ||
+ | The same kind of inter-planting I did try in Berlin, but at the ' | ||
+ | One more parallel trial at the terrace in Berlin over this summer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | Moist, semi-sunny location is very important for outdoor Stropharia' | ||
+ | Once having a mother Stroph colony, there is no need any more to buy spawn again. To start a new bed, the colonized wood-chips can be used as a spawn for fresh chips. The stem butts of harvested mushrooms can be used as well. Another layer of straw in the fall and another layer of straw/wood chips in the spring will keep the spawn moisture and repeat the cycle year after year. | ||
+ | Super low TEK, very satisfying mushroom to grow, very yummy and excellent for the garden. It teems up with (especially) aromatic bushy plants, corn, beans, bees, worms and seem to enrich soils, helps out the size, health of the veggies and might double the crop. | ||

+ | |||
+ | In case of next year planting @ TU - the front side can be used for: Elm and Pink Oyster; the back side for Stropharia and other semi-shadow loving mushrooms like Oysters, Shiitake (logs and beds, etc). Stropharia can be also tried out at the suspended bed (rain-unprotected) in combination with bushy aromatic herbs (Basil, Mints, Sage, Lemon Balm etc) or pole beans. The bed should be kept moist! | ||
