文档介绍：Spawn
When this mycelium is used to inoculate more material, it is called spawn.
Spawn can be sourced from the wild or from spawn laboratories .
Wild spawn will not be as “clean” as pure culture spawn, but wild spawn has the advantage of having been in contact with microbes and so may be better able to acclimate to wild habitats.
Spawn e in many forms.
The mon forms mercial spawn are made with sterilized grain, sawdust, dowels (or plugs), or wood chips.
I like to use laboratory-grown spawn to first create “mother patches” that incubate for 6 months to a year outdoors, acclimating to the fluctuations of weather and the wild microbial world.
Transplanting Wild Mycelium: Mycelial Footprints on the Path to Mycological Paradise
Mycelium race everywhere.
You can easily find mycelium beneath a downed log, in among stacks of aging firewood, or in piles of leaves or wood chips.
The simplest way of transplanting mycelium is to scoop it up and move it to a new location.
The transplanted mycelium, virgin spawn, will be used to make a mycelial footprint at another location.
When virgin spawn is transplanted and placed into contact with the right mixture of materials, the mycelium will regrow, expanding the colony.
Many early cultivators simply gathered mycelium-rich logs having, for instance, shiitake mushrooms fruiting wildly upon them, and then placed these fruiting logs adjacent to newly cut logs.
The developing shiitake mushrooms then cast spore dust onto the new logs, effectively inoculating them.
Stem Butt Spawn and the 1-Dowel Revolution
This method may revolutionize the outdoor cultivation of many mushrooms.
Perhaps you collected mushrooms while on a walk, or you have mushrooms fruiting.
This is the time to make use of one of nature’s most fortuitous fungal opportunities.
