  • Any videos of this technique's success?

  • We did not take a video last year, the mushrooms fruited about 5 feet from the compost pile in the leaf litter...

  • cool idea

  • yeah, and it really works, this past fall we found a blewit patch 4 feet from the compost pile. I was actually suspicious of this when Tradd did it, and didn't think it would work, especially since it was completely frozen. now i am convinced.

  • Wow... I'm absolutely amazed that its okay with being frozen. How do other species respond to this technique?

  • We have been to the moon, we have charted the depths of the ocean and the heart of the atom, but we have a fear of looking inward to ourselves because we sense that is where all the contradictions flow together. -Terrence McKenna

  • I performed a similar experiment a couple years ago using a stem-butt slurry combined with cardboard spawn. It proved to be a success and I'm really looking forward to the next fruiting.

    I find the idea of freezing the slurry quite intriguing and plan to give the method a shot... anything to cut down on the need for sterile work is a bonus for encouraging more people to dabble in mushroom cultivation!

    Using compost as the fungal vector is great!

    Excellent experiment!
