Home/small-farm wine cap (Stropharia rugosoannulata) outdoor bed cultivation audit — national.
Inspect your outdoor wine cap bed for colonization progress and volunteer fungi, never for edibility. Read all of it

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Inspect your outdoor wine cap bed for colonization progress and volunteer fungi, never for edibility. Wine cap grows in an open, soil-contact wood-chip bed instead of an enclosed substrate block, the opposite technique from this standard's oyster/shiitake/lion's mane definitions, so the audit tracks bed construction and colonization rather than searching for the same indoor contamination signs.
Offer to pay $120. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
This is bed-construction and colonization technique only, never an edibility determination. Any other mushroom fruiting from the same wood-chip bed is recorded as unidentified and never eaten; suspected ingestion routes to Poison Control immediately.
The full safety list for this job:
- MAMI's mature-form identification (burgundy-red cap, purple-black spore print, wavy annulus) is a field-ID note only, never a substitute for this kingdom's absolute no-edibility-determination rule.
- An immature or undeveloped fruiting body shows none of those mature features yet, so no identification call is ever made from one.
- Suspected ingestion by a household member, child, or pet routes to Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) immediately, same as every other standard in this kingdom.
- An outdoor bed sits in open soil contact with no enclosed environment to control, so any volunteer wild mushroom sharing the wood-chip pile is treated as a separate, unidentified organism, never as a variant of the cultivated crop.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- thermometer and hygrometer
- gloves
- N95 or equivalent mask
- camera
- sealable bags for isolated/discarded substrate
- notebook or data sheet
- 70% isopropyl alcohol spray or wipes
Steps
- 1. Record the grow area's temperature, relative humidity, and fresh-air-exchange (FAE) condition before touching any substrate.
- 2. Visually inspect each substrate block or bag without opening or disturbing it first; photograph the block from multiple angles.
- 3. Look for green mold (Trichoderma spp., a fast-spreading substrate-competitor), cobweb mold (Cladobotryum spp., a fine gray web-like growth), and bacterial blotch (Pseudomonas tolaasii, a slimy yellow-brown discoloration on mushroom caps).
- 4. Photograph any suspected contamination before disturbing it, noting the block ID, contaminant type, and extent.
- 5. Put on gloves and a mask, then isolate any contaminated block by moving it away from healthy blocks immediately.
- 6. Discard contaminated substrate completely; never trim, salvage, or continue growing a contaminated block, and never harvest mushrooms from it for food.
- 7. Sanitize tools and surfaces that contacted the contaminated block with 70% isopropyl alcohol before returning to healthy blocks.
- 8. Review the sterile/sanitary technique used during inoculation and handling (glove use, surface sanitation, FAE control) against the source protocol, and record any gap identified.
- 9. Log the environmental readings, contamination findings, disposal action, and technique review on the data sheet with date and photos.
What counts as done
- Bed construction recorded against the source protocol: chips/straw pre-soaked, spawn layered at the documented rate (roughly one 5.5 lb bag per 30-50 sq ft, 4-6 inches deep), and coverage depth measured
- Colonization progress (white mycelial webbing through the chip layer) checked and dated against the expected 2-6 month fruiting window from inoculation
- Bed moisture and mulched-area integration (shade, existing garden/orchard mulch) recorded, since an outdoor bed has no enclosed humidity control to fall back on
- Any fruiting body that is NOT a mature, clearly burgundy-capped Stropharia recorded as unidentified volunteer fungus and photographed, never assumed to be the cultivated species
- No edibility, culinary, or medicinal claim recorded anywhere in the audit, regardless of how distinctive published identification literature describes the mature species
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
