I usually don't grow in the summer due to the heat and I'm struggling to get my ass in gear for this winter. I usually have about 4 varieties I grow, blue oysters, pinks, lion's mane and pioppinos.

I got into working with clay a bit ago, and I make a lot of mistakes as I am learning. Basically I uses some of my rejects that still function well as a veasel and aren't too small mouthed. As long as they have food safe glaze or have been burnished.

The downside is they can only fruit from the top and holes can't be cut unless you were to make some with slits to get some more fruiting out the side. I haven't yet tried to propose made grow pots yet though.

Neat, I imagine one with slits in the side would be similar to fruiting in a 5gal bucket where you tape off the holes to keep moisture in. I recently read an article on growing mushrooms in large columns of substrate with egg carton material wrapped around the outside, it wasn't very descriptive but I thought the idea was cool.

Not sure if this would work but immediately thought of my wife's strawberry grows from the summer

Obviously not great for substrate growth but may work for a grain growth as a fruiting chamber

Got one of those from the thrift for $1 last summer. Threw some distressed strawberries in there, pretty much ignored them, still hung in there!

can you post some photos?

also, can you drill holes on clay and use cork plugs at first before taking them out for fruition?

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 2 points 3 months ago

I can't post pics at the moment for fear of doxing myself. Just imagine poorly drawn flower pots.

You can drill holes or cut slits when they clay is leather hard before the initial fire. After that, it would be similar to trying to drill into glass.

Another issue is that clay shrinks during the firing process as it loses water so you might have to shape the corks.
