Funghi Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 Got a hypothetical question... If I grow mycelium in an indoor kit and then replant it somewhere outside, will that mycelium continue to grow and expand or does it die off? If it continues to grow... will it potentially produce out in the wild in the future (assuming optimal conditions)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitog Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 It will grow outside if the environment and temperature are suitable. Transplanting the mycelium in an indoor kit is no different than planting the various types of spawn available for starting mushroom beds or logs. It probably will not work as well as the commercial spawn because the density of the hyphae in the spawn is a lot higher than the density in transplanted mycelium.

JOHNY Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 A friend harvested Oyster mushrooms after putting spent spawn of a table top kit into an out door bed of Aspen wood chips and leave mulch. But it was not a huge harvest. My attempts with Pioppino and Chestnut Pholiota have all failed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Hoover Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Johnny,I’m not surprised that the Pholiota species failed. Those both are much more slow growing than oysters and lions mane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
