Trying to come up with something to deter the squirrels/birds. They're hell bent on stealing grains. Only thing I've got to work is a cage type thing over top but I want something less noticeable..
Maybe something like chicken wire, placed flat and firmly fixed to the ground. The animals won't be able to dig the grains and the mushrooms have no problem growing through it. You might have to deal with slugs when the mushrooms start growing.
Outdoor cubes yeah…but I start from spore indoor and just spawn to bulk outdoor in like June PNW so zone 8b to 9a typically but I also did it once in a zone 5ish summer with great results.

Outdoor Psilocybe cubensis in northern climates
Anyone do this? I started taking my substrates after 3 flushes and mixing them up with some more straw to fruit outdoors in pots of Phalaris arundinacea and aquatica. Summer only of course. PE6 just beginning…and some dry harvest before they went out.

Are you trying to dump grain directly into the ground?
Seems like you'd be better off fruiting trays of castings/coir and then burying them after. Won't be enough grain left to attract the squirrels.
Though admittedly at that point it's more fertilizer with bonus fruits than a pure cultivation play so it depends on your goals/intentions.
If you really just want to run them outdoors, combine sakk and jamie's ideas, run grain, mix with your bulk (casting/coir or fave blend), and bury that under chicken wire. You should be able to keep the grain ratio low enough that between that and the chicken wire the tree rats will give up.

Do Squirrels trip? Have you tried communicating while you are both under the influence?

Im bet they do, it is active myc...Do Squirrels trip? Have you tried communicating while you are both under the influence?
I never see them, only their aftermath. I've been trying out spots with contamd jars to see how they'd work out. Thinking by summer I will be patching up properly....
