Title: mushroom pellety things...
Post by: kitty on January 30, 2006, 08:52:32
i have 7 pellets for inserting into a freshly cut log-half are oyster mushrooms  and half are shiitake !!!! ;D
i would like some red or different nasturtiums or a couple of bits of a dahlia tuber.......please...
i have done my mushroom log-you need to have access to a 10mm drill bit,and the drill(obviously!)and a log cut no more than 3 weeks ago....then put into a black bag with leafmold( think torn newspaper would do-its only for a bit of warmth...then leave it for 6 months -then cook your omlette!
i will enclose full(and better written )instructions with them....

i also have a tiny few rhodochiton seeds(very small,very few....for-what have you? ;D
first come first served!
come and get it while its hot!
when its gone its gone..
buy one......o-you know!

oooooo-a while i would think..after all they are mycelium and its the very devil to get rid of if you have dry rot! ;D
let me know if you find a log-mine was only as thick as the top bit of a mans arm so ...you dont need a Mighty Oak!

Hi Kitty,

I have access to logs (ahem..) and would love to try growing these tasty fungi.
I can swap for nasturtium seeds or lots of mixed large poppy seeds,  I also have a few different tomms ect.

Cheers!

Now I'm going to walk around terrified that a log is going to fall into my lap  :D

but....to be fair..it would have a job to FALL into your lap if you were walking round...unless of course.....you have a very strange way of walking.....sort of scrunched.....and kind of hunched..
course if that IS how you walk i apologise....wouldnt dream of poking fun at someone so ...er.....movementally challenged...
;D
my mother used to say i walked like a ploughboy..


mind you she also used to wack me on the head with a frying pan with monotenous regularity..... :(

How on earth does a ploughboy walk? (sounds like the first line of a joke!)

Thank you very much Kitty! I've just sent you a pm,

Well, if I wanted to avoid the log in the lap I'd be walking standing very straight up, wouldn't I? Dur  :)

And if I wanted the log in the lap it would have to be more like those mad Russian dancers. Not convinced I could keep that up. Would have to do it where logs were flying around at some density.

:'( I have a front garden full of one week old logs, plenty of drill bits and dahlia tubers... Oh well... you can have  some Dahlia tubers for cost of postage if you want. I have lots of 'David Howard' (bronze leaved one with orange flowers) and some 'Zorro' too. pm me if you're interested.

Sorry, Kitty, meant to post as soon as I received it. Thank you very much and I am now walking round the place making threatening noises at trees and bookcases.

Also very much liked getting an envelope through the door addressed to "Bupster". Hee hee  :D
