Great looking stuff nexus that little chunk of grass looks great. Just want to see some dirty pins popping out of it now. Happy new year.

Yeah, I hope the mushrooms grow as well as the grass.

Hey Nexus, what are you doing temperature-wise? Are you trying to keep them cool, or trying to fruit them at room temperature? I've been thinking about how to rig up a cold-temps fruiting chamber. Anyone have any pointers or links to teks? I've thought about trying to build one inside a cooler somehow, with ice perhaps...

I have it at 18C/64F to 20C/68F along side the cubes. I'm hoping it'll fruit at this temp..at least thats the goal. The cubes are fruiting, slowly, but they're fruiting.

Hmm. Yeah those temps are just slightly low for cubes but I think they're way too warm for semis. Around here, they fruit when day/night temps are less than about 15C/7C, although they seem to prefer colder than that from my limited hunting experience.
I'm trying to think of ways to cool an FC without building a special-purpose thing out of a fridge, or constantly having to supply it with ice. I saw a video of a guy making a cheap water cooler using a tupperware container of windshield washer fluid that had been kept in the freezer. I wonder whether it would be enough to stick something like that, or some other kind of reusable ice pack, into an FC. Would probably still have to be insulated, but that poses lighting and FAE problems...

Yeah, I know they like it cooler but the whole point of this thread was to try and get them to fruit in a cube type environment. The theory is that if we succeed than hopefully the prints will carry on the traits.

Most cold weather species will fruit at normal indoor air temperature. The key is having the right microbes and giving a proper cold shock.

Hopefully the right microbes are present but I didn't give it a cold shock.

Hey guys
I've joined in the community if you don't mind.
Not much to show yet, as of now the bulk substrate is colonizing.

Yeah, not too slow so far.
MEA plates were inoculated on the 3rd of December,
those pictures of the petris are 14 days old.
16th of December - inoculated rye with wedges,
the fully colonized jars on the pictures are 4 weeks old.
They were actually done by week 3, but I was slackin'.
Now the bulk bags are 10 days old and looking pretty good.
I know this part will be pretty slow especially because
instead of my regular 1:2 ratio I've employed 1:3 or so.
Don't ask why, it just felt right
