Ps. subaeruginosa

[limeade]

I have obtained a print from Australia and would like to put it to use.
I am thinking outdoor bed, but, i think i'm in hardiness zone 8, I know they are in 5, and POSSIBLY 4, but don't know what the highest zone is.

Yeah, i'm in 8 for sure:




i've tried advanced search here, on it's hardiness zone, and google searches, and just can't get any info that's usable.



I've never even touched this species before. I am a newb to this print. I am assuming alder chips would be best, but preparing the spawn is a question, I am assuming using spore to rye grain would be fine?

Any information on getting spawn readied for woodchips for an outdoor bed, depending on where i live i guess if it's possible, would be great.

I haven't even found their temperature ranges yet, I'll be searching that info now.

Preparing the spawn is my big question, and incubation temp/time to expect.


Could I possibly make an LC, and inoculate a sheet of moist partially rotted cardboard, utilizing the cardboard as spawn by placing a thin layer of alder chips on after the cardboard is fully colonized, then when the tendril myc gets to the chips, add more chips, etc.. until a decent bed is estalished. Would that be possible?

If i can make an LC, should I dilute MEA into dh2o? or mix my normal karo/malt LC..

I have petri and MEA, that needs used badly. But i don't want to put it to this project if they won't grow in my hardiness zone outdoors.

they aren't listed as growing naturally in Tx

so i'm guessing they don't survive in hardiness zone 8

now im looking at indoor,

and my searches here turn it into not such a possible thing.

I'm about to find out if it can be done indoors or not.

Believe their ideal temp range is 30s - 70s as found in southern Australia/New Zealand
with a marine climate [humid]..
Can proly withstand freezing just fine but the Texas heat could do them in..

Gradual and prolonged cooling temps into the 50s/40s stimulate pinning ,similar to Cyans but they may begin fruiting at a bit higher temp than Cyans..

Perhaps you could keep them indoors till late fall then fruit in a cool unheated garage or similar, unless your in S Tex, then it's proly too warm...

They don't grow in texas. Not naturally anyways.
