Building the mushroom patch
Inoculated saw dust/wood chip mix from Fungi Perfecti www.fungi.com
Stropharia rugoso annulata (Garden Giants)
We begin by raking away all decaying matter from the area
we transfered the top layer of this ‘matter’ - leaf mold - over to the area we have for the tomatoes, as they like a deep rich mulching for their bed!
Latasha lays out the cardboard…well, what we had on hand- egg cartons from the Wednesday Breakfast.
We then added a layer of wood chips -about 3″ thick.
These next two photos are the spreading of the Mycelium Spores, which was great fun had by all!
We then added another layer of wood chips to cover the spores a bit. We plan on planting corn in with these mushrooms, as we have read that the two are very compatible ‘Mycelium Running’ by Paul Stamets
What a great day!
Thanks to Corey Hau for the great photos!
