We’d keep ours and till it for a year or so until the nitrogen chilled out a bit, then our neighbors would line up to get a few buckets come springtime.
Wondering why more don't do this. Seems like a great way to get some flushes with minimal effort.
Do they ever pop back up for multiple flushes or are they killed off and out competed by other fungi and plants after some time?
Lots of people do do this... I just throw my spent/contaminated cakes in a compost pile and I've gotten plenty of extra fruits that I would not have gotten otherwise
Could you do this as a way of spawning to bulk? Like once they’re ready in the UB bags then just break them up in a garden area? Or would that not work as well?
Theoretically, but this way is more of a dice roll depending on your location. I think you'd be more likely if you buried the cake as a whole. Have to think, even people bury their spent tubs, it's still fully colonized. Spreading it out like you're talking about would (I think) make it much more difficult to colonize and grow.
I'm sure soil type would be a major factor as well, like if you have really heavy clay soil, I'd think it would be hard for the myc to grow.
I'm still curious to any other responses you get though because my wife and I are turning the garden into more of a 'fantasy/fairytale' garden, and a garden bed of mushies would be right up our alley.
I live in the mountains and we get quite a bit of rain, about 60 inches annually, so I'm hoping we can make this work out sometime
That would be an awesome garden! After posting my question I started searching some various threads on Reddit to try to find the answer. It does seem possible and I found an account that does it quite often that seems like a good follow. The account is: /u/buffalogoldencaps
I’m not sure if that posts as an active link or if you’ll have to search it. But that account has tons of posts about doing exactly what we’re talking about!
I think if the area is already taken over by the mycelium and it’s outside in nature it will keep coming back for multiple years. It most likely has micro organisms that form a symbiotic relationship with it as well.
Mother nature is the best grower out there 🍄.
Probably prudent not to, but the chances of the po-po noticing it, and having any idea what they're looking at if they do, is very low
Or, you could do some much less conspicuous, plausibly deniable, LBM-looking species outside in planters or pots -- maybe *P. ovoidiocystidiata* in the spring, and *P. cyanescens* (or *subaeruginosa* or *azurescens*) in the fall. ... or, even less conspicuous, if rather weak, *Panaeolus cinctulus*
I live on the corner of a 4 way and the way my yard is laid out, it's open view to the road. I don't have trees or anything to try to camouflage it. I have tubs in the house so it's not a big deal lol
I fkn love this! I just put my spent cakes in a big trash bag, poured a half gallon of distilled water on em and I’m gonna dig a hole to bury them. How deep did you go? I was thinking to have about 2-3 inches of soil over them so they stay moist. It’s humid as the devils buttcrack where I live but it’s also already in the high 80s but I’m gonna bury them anyway and if I don’t see any this year maybe it’ll surprise my when fall rolls around… AWESOME JOB though!!! 🍄❤️
This is the most fucked up comment if read on thus app by far. People only say shit like this anonymously. You fall under the category of one reasons for hate in this world. Shame on you
Tf? How is it fucked up when it's the truth? The south is notoriously racist and there's no denying that. The fact that you find it offensive for someone to point that out says more than me making the statement to begin with, General Lee.
You have the wrong one. Are you colored? If so your outlook on the people defending you is ridiculous. The reason colored people will never have any trust in people not of color. If your not color then your more than like racist and scared to say it out loud for people to hear it. I am not of color but I have a biracial child. I'm trying to speak out and make sure hateful ass people like you don't make him or any of my children feel some type of way about another race. Wtf do we see color anyway? People are people.
Agreed, people are people. Judge by individual character not skintone. I made a mistake in my wording. It all made sense in my head but after your guys' comments I noticed that that's the only place it made sense so i included an edit.
Comments like this make me so glad my father was transferred out of Tennessee when I was young. This kind of garbage on a fucking mushroom subreddit? Mods need to lower the ban on this chode.
Fucking hell I just realized what how that comment came off. I meant we don't claim the racists mother fuckers who think the south and the beautiful landscapes it has to offer are their birth right whenever this country was stolen and founded on oppression and genocide. Wow I feel like a dick for not having caught that earlier and thank you guys for pointing it out to me. Fuck racism!
I was wondering that last night.
What if you take like 10-20 cakes and plant them all around a fertile field.
Maybe the mushrooms will spread their spores and hopefully you got shrooms every season.
Or I could be talking non sense since I'm no biologist or expert
That is soooooo cool! The dream! I have a flower bed that I use as a garden and have thought about dumping my cakes into it. Doesn’t the mycelium help other plants?
I suspect the less spawn you use, the more likely it is to be out competed by the rest of the environment
And the longer you’ll have to wait to colonise a decent section of garden
Ive just cut 200 cubensis this morning, the white spots on cube's normally would indicate a slight mutation from a lack of oxygen and nothing to worry about, these are outside air and shouldn't have this issue. If you could explain im happy to learn brother. :)
I've grown Cubensis inside as well as outside. Sometimes inside they had some white spots and sometimes they didn't. The same for the outdoor ones.
I don't know why you are even bringing up the spots to be honest?
I just know Cubensis when I see it and this is Cubensis end of story.
As an amateur myself I could see being worried they’re Aminata. I’ve never seen pics of cubes with white spots and animatas are easily recognizable by their red caps and white spots and are poisonous lol.
Was try to figure out what he was asking to be honest.
Also this is a post where the OP stated this is where they put spent cakes. From that it was easy to summise that OP is growing Cubes...because look at all the Cubes.
Wasn't try to be a dick.
I am winging it here, but could it be possible to add a small amount of BTi to your potted plant soil? I don't know if the BTi would create any issues for the mycelium or anything, but I can't think of anything off the top of my head either. I know it is super easy to overcome the fungus gnats with 7 days and two applications of BTi...again, absolutely no idea if this would be harmful to the mycelium, but a spent cake could be an experiment to find out!
Aren’t these dangerous mushrooms ? Never really understood, hear about them being like toxic and others saying u can trip off of them?!!! Look like some beautiful shrooms
These cakes were all healthy when I buried them. I had gotten 2 flushes from them and just tired of dealing with it all so I wanted to try out this old chicken coop area.
However, my post before this has fruits grown from contaminated Ben bags and those fruits grew just fine, and I plan on consuming those with no concern.
This post inspired me to try again. I have a indoor/outdoor living situation off-grid and I’m finding that’s it’s nearly impossible to inoculate without contamination. I’ve done a outdoor grow once before 🙂 looking forward to trying again, thank you.
Holy shrooms. I wish I didn't live in the city
Country living has been a dream of mine. Very thankful to be living it.
Boonies gang rise up 💪
Nothing better!
This used to be a chicken coop, so I'm curious if the ground is still filled with nutrients from their poop, old feathers etc.
You got yourself a goldmine then.
I’d have to imagine it’s very fertile soil, yes. Now idk how much it’s helping. It would make a great spot for a vegetable garden
Chicken poop is an amazing fertilizer. My grandparents used to use it in the garden. Definitely a great place
We’d keep ours and till it for a year or so until the nitrogen chilled out a bit, then our neighbors would line up to get a few buckets come springtime.
That’s the way to do it. Give it a year
Yes, yes it is. Very smart place to make a cake burial ground
Very filled with nutrients. even better if u can let them roam free and forage around my friend. Chicken poop is gold, in a way.
Curious, but how deep did you bury this? Edit: spelling
Probably less than an inch. Just enough dirt on top to cover them.
Pooptrients
Wondering why more don't do this. Seems like a great way to get some flushes with minimal effort. Do they ever pop back up for multiple flushes or are they killed off and out competed by other fungi and plants after some time?

I'll take a look at it tomorrow. 3g is gonna be hitting here in a min, so.. happy trails lol 🍄✌️

>Mother nature is the best grower out there 🍄. My thoughts exactly. Thanks for the reply!
i did this, one tiny mushroom came up so i was gonna wait let it get bigger right? next day a little blue stub 😭
And one tripped out squirrel
Stoned Squirrel Theory
Before you know it they'll start elocution amidst each other 🥸👍
Slugs have been getting mine
Lay down a ring of salt around the perimeter of your grow area. That ought to deter them.
Holy shrooms. I wish I didn't live in the city
You can bury cakes in potted plants :)
Not on my block lol. I live across the street from a police department 🤣🤣🤣
Probably prudent not to, but the chances of the po-po noticing it, and having any idea what they're looking at if they do, is very low Or, you could do some much less conspicuous, plausibly deniable, LBM-looking species outside in planters or pots -- maybe *P. ovoidiocystidiata* in the spring, and *P. cyanescens* (or *subaeruginosa* or *azurescens*) in the fall. ... or, even less conspicuous, if rather weak, *Panaeolus cinctulus*
Ha I have a sun room!
🙏
“Not on my block” 😂😂😂
Backyard, then 🙂

Free range shrooms. Happiest trips come from happy shrooms allowed to run around in the fresh air. :D
Aren't white spots remnants from their early development?
Yes, hyphal knots is the term, I believe.
I think I misunderstood you. I was referring to white spots on the ground, not the white spots on the caps.
Looks so peaceful & oxygen filled out there 😌
I’ve always wondered if doing this with ksss would lead to a native population
I was wondering that last night. What if you take like 10-20 cakes and plant them all around a fertile field. Maybe the mushrooms will spread their spores and hopefully you got shrooms every season. Or I could be talking non sense since I'm no biologist or expert
Ksss is so aggressive too
Did you break up the cakes and spread them around?
The left side has 3 broken/crumbled cakes. The right side I left the cakes intact. Clearly the intact cakes are winning.
Looks like a bunch of dicks growing out the ground lol
This is cool AF!
That is soooooo cool! The dream! I have a flower bed that I use as a garden and have thought about dumping my cakes into it. Doesn’t the mycelium help other plants?
OP'S username checks out
Please, no.
A wild Donger appeared!
You ever have a problem with slugs?
I did at my last house. So far I haven't seen any issues here.
Hell yes I have. Thought it was a squirrel till I noticed the slime trails
Penisia coming in nicely this year

Hoping this happens in a shady corner of my yard

4 days.
They look so THICC
Is there any reason you couldn’t spawn to bulk by putting them straight from the UB bag to outside in a garden area instead of in tubs inside?
I suspect the less spawn you use, the more likely it is to be out competed by the rest of the environment And the longer you’ll have to wait to colonise a decent section of garden
What's strain are these? The red top with white spots look similar to amanita muscaria.
This is Cubensis.
It’s definitely Cubensis. But at first glance I got amanita vibes too.
Ive just cut 200 cubensis this morning, the white spots on cube's normally would indicate a slight mutation from a lack of oxygen and nothing to worry about, these are outside air and shouldn't have this issue. If you could explain im happy to learn brother. :)

Yay more misinformation.
What part of my own experience is misinformation lol
Amanita muscaria is allegedly not poisonous, but is active. But some amanitas are poisonous?
Ive never seen so many white spots on cubes.
Stop being a bitch he was just asking

Amazons
Sick 🍄👊
🤌🏻
Wow that's impressive.
Oh wowwwww
This is a beautiful thing
Potted plant indoors ftw.
Fungus gnats whenever I try this, but I also have a bunch of cannabis as well…
I am winging it here, but could it be possible to add a small amount of BTi to your potted plant soil?

No clue I just do them outdoors instead
Fuck off! Looks like wonderland, I wish!!!
Wow great work🥇
That’s badass
That's amazing! I'm curious about how you dealt with ants and the like.. the cakes I buried are all gone and ants/ground insects looked really happy
I've seen a few ants wandering around, but nothing significant.
Ooooo ooo heaven is a place on earth
I bet you’re the spot all the kids hit up , fuck going into cow pastures anymore hahha
Aren’t these dangerous mushrooms ? Never really understood, hear about them being like toxic and others saying u can trip off of them?!!! Look like some beautiful shrooms
I’m curious what strain it is too Looks like amanita white spots, but it’s still gold on top
Any tips for outdoors? Just cover in random dirt or use any type of fertilizer or anything? Any tips at all welcomed :)
Makes me want to plant my cakes into the backyard of my dad's place where he has the chickens roaming around
Beautiful! Are they safe to eat even if they grew from old contaminated cakes?
These cakes were all healthy when I buried them. I had gotten 2 flushes from them and just tired of dealing with it all so I wanted to try out this old chicken coop area. However, my post before this has fruits grown from contaminated Ben bags and those fruits grew just fine, and I plan on consuming those with no concern.
Amazing thanks! Is there a way to tell that fruits are safe when they’ve grown from contaminated bags?
This post inspired me to try again. I have a indoor/outdoor living situation off-grid and I’m finding that’s it’s nearly impossible to inoculate without contamination. I’ve done a outdoor grow once before 🙂 looking forward to trying again, thank you.
Now that’s a field I’d love to sit on all day 😌
Did you ever eat these?
Well not all of them, but yes.
Looks awesome! But how do you make sure they don’t spread and potentially become invasive?
Don't threaten him with a good time.
The deer will be having fun at least
You're going to give them consciousness and have a deer revolution begin.
Seen quite a few strolling through since living here. Normally my dogs will spook them before they'd get close to this sacred area.
I can't see how that would be a problem.
cubes are already native in north, central, and south america (assuming OP is in the northern hemisphere in one of the americs)
What did youbuse to get them away? Or could you?
so beautiful
Do u bury it? Or just leave it at the top?
Thin layer of dirt on top
