Hypsizygus tessellatus (updated)
    #13312019 - 10/09/10 09:29 AM (13 years, 5 months ago)

Beech mushroom - Buna Shimeji - Hypsizygus tessellatus

Got this culture a long time ago, and never had much luck until now.
I couldn't find much info here, so I thought I would share...

5 qt Oak sawdust
4 hand fulls "nutrient blend" (see below)
2 oz. garden gypsum
1200 ml water

nutrient blend = (what I had on hand at the time - mostly spent green tea, plus some dried vegetable pulp and spent coffee)

Mix all then test field capacity.

Cook 90 minutes at 15PSI

finished weight 6.5 lb

I think I spawned 3/4 qt colonized rye to each of two bags

Stuffed in closet for 4 months!
Colonized over the hot summer months with temps 75F-85F.
Bag #1 fruited in vitro. Took it out and fruited second time in a tub with filtered forced air and a humidifier on 1/2 hour every 4 hours.

Bag #2 took on a grayish hue, and I was about to throw it out when I noticed the gray was hundreds of pins! It sat without changing for couple of weeks in the high airflow chamber. When I moved it to a shotgun FC the pins really started growing.


Above = bag #2 (expand this one for huge pin porn)
All below = bag #1

Do tesselatus often have pins growing from the caps of more mature fruits? That's wild!

Cheers,

Those are absolutely beautiful! I haven't seen any indoor grows of this. Do they normally crack, or do you think your RH was too low?

I have never done one before, so I don't know what's typical. But I can try to answer from my experience.

Mini fruits on the caps are probably from the excessive moisture from the humidifier.  It would go from oversaturated to down below 75% RH in a few hours in the first chamber. If you look closely it looks like one of the little guys has two eyes, and he stares right at the camera at two different angles (creepy)

The pattern on the caps looks just like the stock photos I have seen before. I don't think it's cracking. I think I read someone calls them "water spots"?

What are the fruiting temps?  I'm looking for something to replace shiitakes for the summertime - my yields are abysmal above 70-72F.

@jitsu

a lot of people have been doing Pink Oysters lately. They prefer warmer temps.

I've tried oysters, but I really haven't used the right setup.  I'm a die-hard shotgun guy, so I end up growing stringy-looking tubes. :frown:

I don't see why they wouldn't work in a shotgun. You just have to make your kids fan it at the top of every hour. :whip:

Seriously though. I guarantee that it'll work in a SGFC as long as they get enough light and FAE.

The room where these are fruiting has been about 62-67F for the past couple of weeks
I could not get these guys to fruit in the summer. I think they didn't start to pin until the temps fell below 70. But bag #1 was in-vitro (in-bag-fruiting) and I didn't even notice the initial pinset of bag #1. So I'm not positive about the temp.

In the summer, I grow oysters in fat straw logs hanging in the garage. This method gives good broad fruits from all the O2. And the spore load stays out where it can't harm me.
The efficiency isn't great, but straw is so cheap I don't care about efficiency.

it would be great if it could support all the pins.

Nice work!

I have 12 bags going right now!  I hope I get something because I tried before with no results...

this time they have been colonizing for 10 weeks!

what is your temp in the terrarium?
should I wait longer that 12weeks?

The temp slowly dropped from upper seventies when I opened the bags to lower sixties now. (F)
