Outside



Ive taken my basically "dead" blocks of substrate outside to dump in one or the other of my gardens.   Though its much too hot here to have a mycelium garden,   i did watch paul staments talking about how bees love mycelium.   Anything to save the bees!

So i just dump the blocks into the gardens and keep watering.   If even a tiny bit of mycelium survives i believe that is a good thing. 

A few times ive gone out and to my surprise ive found little shrooms growing.   Here in tx i will never have a "crop" outdoors but its always fun to find random little shrooms growing from the dead blocks.

Mycelium

Not so much

 It's been a long while since I've even grown anything . I had way too much previously grown and just got out of growing. Maybe will get back to it at some point. I actually do love growing.
