 Lions mane

Starting to grow out some lions mane. While i cant take credit for doing these bags myself, they are looking really good. These were inoculated with wooden depressors.I started with one tube in the bathroom on 4/15, as i didn't have my green house yet. This was moved to the green house on 4/17. On 4/20 i tossed the other 11 tubes in too. The first one is starting to show primordia coming out of the tube.

its where they were inoculated. They will fruit out of the whole. The hole is only on one end. Each tube is 2.2 lb.

Interesting way of doing it..., did you dunk those tubes before fruiting?

Evolution is Lamarckism in disguise. Adaptation never creates a new species or trait, but rather the new species/trait always existed within the parent DNA until circumstances allowed it to be activated. For instance, every wolf has the DNA for poodles, but that DNA would never be revealed without man selectively breeding for it.

I guess that's what is described as the "collar" typically used in asian growing operations, right? It's stuffed with cotton or polyfill before the bag is sterilized? If that's the only area of FAE, how long did the bottom of the bag take to colonize? How long ago were they spawned? What's the substrate?
I have lots of questions, I know. I've just never seen anyone here use the collar method--pretty much everyone's using filter patch bags. This might be a good way of cutting costs if I tried producing on a larger scale.

I did not make these. I bought them , $5 per 1 kilo tube w/shipping. They came with foam plugs in the tops. They still are not fully colonized, they began fruiting when about 50% colonized. They were inoculated with tongue depressors. The substrate is some sort of wood chips. They were spawned a couple weeks ago.

Grz,
Your methods are so sophisticated and you have energy and dedication.
You make some of us feel like the lazy neanderthal. (that we are)
So the foam is there as the only filter preventing the contams getting in ?
If so, can you describe it ? Pore size, desnsity, as best you can ?
They're famous for early fruiting.

The foam plugs were the only thing there preventing contamination. It wasn't very dense, kind of like the cheaper egg carton foam. Pore size was very small. All the tubes have good size fruits coming out the top.

I'll bet if those tubes were half that size, you'd have twice as many tubes and they would fully colonize using that method.
Very cool

Cool, but what I really want to know is who made them and where can I get one?
