Doh ...

Funny ,how one.. that has seen plenty of pins in the past,can still get excited to see some new pins popping up !

To bed you were tricked...

I hear ya bro! Azures are especially captivating

Congrats on another great season!

Ps...hope you don't mind a few azure pics taken this week. credit - coolboarderguy

spacecake · 10-24-09, 13:53

I don't mind Waylitjim !

Those are some lovely pics !
Another strain of Azures then I'm growing here...
Any idea on what kind of Azures are on the pics ?

floppypeter · 10-24-09, 16:30

sc, are you feeding them new wood and nutes every year ?

spacecake · 10-25-09, 10:12

Yep,..this is the second year and in the past Spring,I have put a new layer of woodchips on the old one,..the layer was about 10cm thick.
I have also put more chips one the outside of the layer,making it about one meter wider.
But half of the patch is now in full Sun,so at that part of the patch I probably won't see any pins.

spacecake · 10-25-09, 10:31

New pics taken today !

It's going pretty well !

ethnobotanica · 10-25-09, 12:05

Pulling chair back up....

I remember seeing those pics of last years flush. That is what made me get an azure print.
Still waiting for it to get cold though. Its good though, the myc is getting a chance to colonize a bit more.
I am slightly envious of your pinset

Can't wait to see this one when it peaks.

kcmoxtractor · 10-25-09, 14:54

Looking very nice again!

Do they fruit on the other side of the fence? Kind of looks like it in that picture... Could you add a small layer of potting soil and grass to the part that gets sun, or would it completely destroy the stealth aspect? Those ferns seem like a nice idea, low cover plants probably hold in the humidity better. These pictures are excellent

spacecake · 10-25-09, 15:13

Well,It's a good idea adding potting soil and grass,but i don't want any weeds growing in the summer time,when the shrooms are gone.

What I did last Summer is.., putting alot more ferns all over the area,between the woodclippings.
You cannot see it yet,maybe next year when they more mature..,but there are atleast 30 ferns in there...
I plan on adding more ferns every year.

sagiboy · 10-25-09, 15:22

sagiboy · 10-25-09, 15:23

is that mimosa?

spacecake · 10-25-09, 15:27

Hehehe... that doesn't grow here...lol

nightflyer · 10-25-09, 16:14

Beautiful patch!

Is the fern for camouflage?

spacecake · 10-25-09, 16:21

Nope ,just like the contrast between the shrooms and the ferns,and there good for giving some shadow and holding moister !

It's awesome that this beautiful patch started from a handful of healthy spawn.
Good save Spacecake!

spacecake · 10-26-09, 13:03

Yep,a very nice save indeed !
Could only dream back then...,that I would get this far...

hyphaenation · 10-26-09, 13:04

Thanks for the inspiration Space. I got excited by this thread and went out and checked my Azures. One bed/culture was covered in mycelium but not fruiting. The other had a bunch of pins !

Blessings on the Azures

spacecake · 10-26-09, 13:11

I hope you get a good flush to Hypaenation....!

hyphaenation · 10-26-09, 13:16

It's really quite amazing that these species fruit within a close time frame across the world. Nightflyer's P. Cyans started pinning within 2 days of mine. He's in Central Europe i'm in Canada. Then NF reports that Cyanofriscosa's are going off , so I go check mine and there they are.

Next you report your Azures have appeared and so I check mine and magically they appear. Even though I bet our weather , altitude , temps are all different but they still fruit simultaneously on two continents.

spacecake · 10-26-09, 13:31

Maybe it also has something to do with the days getting shorter.
Most normal plants know when the days are getting shorter,shroom know it probably too...?!

copelandiaKidd · 10-26-09, 13:50

Beautiful patch Space!!!!!!

QUANTUM NONLOCAL COMMUNICATION

On a deeper level of reality, time and space as
limiting factors are irrelevant. All things are interconnected.

http://www.braungardt.com/Physics/Qu...onlocality.htm

That means, that Hyph's azure mycelium in Canada "knows"
exactly what spacecake's azure mycelium in Europe (and all other azure
mycelia around the world) is doing and vice versa.

And if the environmental and biological parameters
(Temperature, humidity, mycelium mass) are ok,
they all fruit at the same time.

Ah but have you checked this hour ? ...

ethnobotanica · 10-27-09, 04:22

Mine weren't listening either

zodd · 10-27-09, 04:40

mine either. i think with my patch its probably more a case of my mycelium network not having what it needs to fruit rather than him not hearing the call.

ethnobotanica · 10-27-09, 07:20

I'm curious to know what the growth conditions were for all those with fruitiing beds.

Hyph, Spacecake, Nightflyer ??

Maybe you could all put a little info on temps/humidity(rain)/ in the week running up to your pins appearing.

Did you all have a nice wet low spell below 10 oC for at least 2-3 days??
( this has not happened in my area yet )

I think that would allay some of the concern and maybe give a little hope for the non-fruiter's here

or put them out of their misery.... such a shame for some quantum theory to come along and tell ya that u missed the boat

lol

That would be really cool if you guys could each post the stat's

Cheers

nightflyer · 10-27-09, 08:23

The last week daytime high was 15 C every day
and 7 C at night, drizzle and high relative humidity (70-85%).

This week no rain but very foggy. Temps unchanged.

ethnobotanica · 10-27-09, 08:48

Thats better than what Ive had, its jumped around from 18-9 mostly, couple very short dips but that is all. Rain has been on and off but usually with the warm temps.

Ive been watering every 2-3 days anyway, a good 10-15 minute soaking. I can see myc about a cm under the surface so I know its colonized.

There may be hope yet

...and if not, i shall at least enjoy starting a cyan and frisco culture for next year

Cheers NF

hyphaenation · 10-27-09, 11:19

Here its been quite cold and wet. Drizzle rain every day. Temps about 5 to 8 Celsius in the day and 2 to 3 at night. Have'nt had over 10 C in over a week.

Hey Nightflyer , can you get your Azures to call Waylitjim's Azures ... tell them to come out and play.

nightflyer · 10-27-09, 12:03

OK, I will pass it on!

No pins here yet, only innumerable rhizomorphs.
But the weather is good; I hope for the best.

spacecake · 10-27-09, 14:57

One week before the pins arrived,it was 17oC on average...
Then a sudden drop to about 5 oC at night and 10-12 oC in the daytime.
A little rain everyday (10% of the day)
Until yesterday,when it got warmer again and dry (13-16 oC night and day)

ethnobotanica · 10-27-09, 18:34

Thanks for the responses guys, Looks like I just have to wait for the cold to come, rain is not a problem as I can make it rain

Weather forecast says drop in temps and rain next week. Hopefully that means that the myc is spreading out a little more before the "trigga".

Fingers crossed.

I really wanna drool over my own babies rather than keep on perving at everyone else's.

SpaceCake, you are an inspiration!

spacecake · 10-30-09, 13:24

Picture update...!

Everything is looking very good !
There are some places were there isn't any growth,but that is probably my fault,because I digged up some wood chips to make place for some ferns.

Next Spring,I think I will dig everything up and mix it all...,then place it back.
Hopefully the young fern will be bigger,and the shrooms will grow more evenly...

Here are the pics !

nightflyer · 10-30-09, 16:19

PERFECT!

eatyualive · 10-30-09, 19:56

Spacecake what a magnificent grow! After my long absence iam more than happy that i bumped into your thread and restarted my presence in it. Beautiful mushrooms and beautiful pictures not to mention the thread! Great to be back, thanx for sharing.

spacecake · 11-03-09, 13:34

Good to see you back again kocos !

maksud · 11-04-09, 14:36

GREAT and BEATIFUL
Do you add new chips for next year?

spacecake · 11-04-09, 15:54

Maybe,if I stumble on some...
But I have add alot of chips this year,that can get me going for a year or two more.

I am going to mix everything up,what I now have there.
Maybe that will give me an even better flush.

You mean, mix all of the patch and add new chips to stimulate flushes in the next years? Does this damage the myc?
I ask because has 2 small patches with azu ( 20*20 cm, 15 cm deep, 5 cm thin of casing). I waiting but small hope to see pinning. So think, what is the best:
1. Delete old casing from patch, add soacked chips on top and each side, add 3 cm of forest casing
2. Exstract healthy myc from patch, mix with 3-5 volumes of soacked chips, make new patch wits forest casing
