Anyone willing to talk about growing mushrooms?

Here's a time-lapse I made. I need to work on keeping things from shifting.

That was awesome to watch thank you

Little update had temps in low 60s over holidays to slow growth since we were going to be gone...

"Flush" is the term used for a crop of mushrooms. Each cake will have multiple flushes if things go well.

I've been waiting a week for my second flush to come in. Today I noticed that the cakes in my two remaining tubs looked like they were levitating...the second flush was coming in from the bottom of the cakes. I flipped them over and wound up needing to trash one because it had trichoderma on the bottom, too. Two of my 6 bags I have colonizing also got contaminated, so those got tossed. I wasn't as paranoid about contamination when I inoculated those 6 bags, and it shows, so I need to be way more careful next time. I'm thinking about trying this technique out for my next round

I can't recommend getting a pressure cooker enough. It makes everything easy to sterilize. I've used mine so far to make my own liquid culture jars and wild bird seed jars. I can run perpetually now without the need to buy spore syringes or grain jars or bags.

Judging by the exudate on this mycelium I'm willing to bet it's going to be an awesome flush of albino penis envy

Just pulled these of of the last cake I have going.


I was a dumb ass, and wasn't very sterile when I inoculated the last batch of 6 bags. 3 wound up contaminated with trich, and the remaining 3 have some wet rot at the very bottom, so I need to open those up later tonight and see if they are salvageable at all.

I'm stepping up my sanitation and switching over to inoculating jars. I will inoculate these today with B+ and Golden Teacher.
