Anyone willing to talk about growing mushrooms?

These were at about 10% on Sunday, gave them a good shake, went away for work on Monday, and came back today to these beauties!

Here I have two different types of vermiculite the top two are a lot finer grade than the bottom two
The difference between them seems to be that the finer vermiculite went straight into pinning and the coarser vermiculite the mycelium decided to colonize the casing layer...

Here’s how the colonized rice looked before I mixed it into the substrate.

Yeah, it's about a 1:1 mix, with a thin layer of colonized rice on top, and then another thin casing layer of substrate on top of that.

Hey. I have two syringes prepared at the moment. If I wanted to do what you did and grow a colony in a bag of rice, is there anything special I should know? I've done mushrooms a couple times but the nuances are trickier than what I'm used to.

No liners or paint?

You just need to be as sterile as possible. If you do a search for “90 second mycology” on YouTube there are some step by step instructions.

Nope, I’ve been reading that there’s no need. I did liners with my first round but haven’t since.

I just saw that cubecultureusa.com released some new varieties including Omni which is supposed to be very similar to enigma.
