Damn it!  That's exactly what I want...  :drooling:

Instead I'm fucking around over here with my sawdust bags melted inside my PC...  Such a noob.

Thanks for the inspiration.  Today was a bad day but those pics got my blood flowing again.

Thanks man,

That should work exactly the same.

Reishi are a great mushroom to grow because they are so easy. You can really neglect them and they still do their thing.

The coolest thing ever is watching a contaminated reishi block kick the shit out of the invader.

It feels really good to watch it own the contam, it is some really intelligent myceliium. :minigun:

I was reading your recipe ProfP, and it's making me wanna kick myself. I found a patch of 50+ Reishi growing on a local hiking trail along a mountain stream. I thought they looked so cool, and heard they have medicinal properties when making tea. I didn't realize they can actually be used to make Delicious dishes. Not to get off topic of your beautiful grow but how do they taste? Do they add a nice flavor to dishes? Plz tell me they taste like crap, so I don't feel so bad for not taking advantage of the supply I could have had this summer. hahahaha.

They taste very bitter. :lol:

That is actually why you prepare them in that manner. It hides the taste and reaps the benefit.

No worries, you didn't miss out.

They would probably have been quite chewy anyway.

That is why you steep it, to just release the medicine and leave the fruit behind.

If you did this with plain water and tried drinking it the taste would be pretty nasty. :frown:

Hey I was about to PM you a quick question but saw your disclaimer and figured rather than make a whole thread about it I'd just post it here.

I have a couple jars in the refrigerator right now since it took me a little while to get my bags, etc etc.  I have three jars out and the one that I can actually see into a little bit (the others are 100% covered with mycelium, I can't see anything) appears to be beginning to form some pins.  Looks like large white bumps all over the top, one or two of them actually have small dark orange dots in the middle.

The question now is, is it still ok to spawn that one?  I would happily take the lid of and use this one to just try fruiting straight from the jar, however, it's not a wide mouth jar and I can't see them having enough room to really grow out.

Should I just spawn it like the other jars or leave it alone?

If there's a better spot for this post or something let me know I'll try to have it moved.

If it is beginning to fruit already you might just want to fruit it straight out of the jar.

If it was your only jar I'd say try and spawn it but if it is that colonized the myc it probably like leather by now anyway so you may actually have to cut through it to get it out of the jar at that point.

Do you have a pic of the pinning jar?

I try and never let my reishi grain jars over colonize. They are a pain in the ass if you do as you are finding out.

They will pretty much fruit off of anything.

I just tried taking a picture but it wasn't turning out.  It's difficult to see in, kind of has to be angled right to really get a glimpse.  I think they may be overcolonized.  They do seem like they're going to be a pain to get out of the jar.

I guess I'll just try fruiting that one from the jar and spawn the others.  Not ideal in that regular mouth jar I'm sure but I guess I'll see how it goes.

It should be fine. If it has already started fruiting I would just let it fruit.

It will work it's way out of the jar. 

Here is a pix of one of RR's reishi jars. The medium isn't just grain but it is an idea of what you should expect from a fruiting jar.

This is the thread it came off of.

That depends. Do you have any growing experience.

If not they would be easier to grow from a lc syringe.

I would think you would want to grow them from MS though if at all possible.

This is for a couple reasons,

1. the culture will be young.

2. you will learn how to germinate spores which will be useful to know how to do.


In respect to other mushrooms reishi pretty much grow themselves.

They are extremely contam resistant.

Reishi is about the most resilient/hardiest mushroom species I have ever grown. :thumbup:

Well, I was imagening it as I would do some LC from spores in the beginning and then do small scale bags and then clone the desired fruit type. What would the experienced cultivators recommend to look for in the shape or characteristics of the fruitbody? They all look like bizzarre alien antlers to me lol.

You can grow them two ways in a bag.

1. the antlers, as you have seen in this grow, by cutting the top off of the bag,

2. Conks are your other option, by cutting a 1/4 incision along the side an inch or two up form bottom of the bag.

I would recommend putting the spores on agar rather than directly into the liquid culture.

Spores > Agar > Grain> Substrate,.

Awesome dude.  Nicely done! 

Is it normal for there to be some yellow staining on the mycelium?  I've seen it in my jars, my bags and my dishes are starting to get yellow around the edges as well.  I assume it's not a contam of any kind but I'd just like to know that's normal.

No, it isn't a contam. That is how reishi mycelium gets.

It gets to be mustard yellow/brown in color as it fruits.

This is completely normal.

My bags have quite a bit of excess moisture on the top now.  It's creating little pools.  I am going to be beginning fruiting in about two days, should I just use a paper towel to soak up some of this moisture when I fruit them or is it urgent?  And is soaking it up with a paper towel the best way?  I really can't imagine whatsoever that my substrate was too wet.  I actually thought it might not be wet enough.  Maybe this is just a common occurrence...?

Did a search and didn't see it mentioned so I guess it is not that common.
