okay i got four jars of compost/BRF inoculated into my pasteurized compost bags yesterday.
temps are warming up. everything is looking nice.
here's some updated pics.

these are a few new brf/compost jars that were inoculated on exactly the same date with the same spore syringe--incredible differences- wouldn't you say?

\





these are a few of the recently inoculated bags of compost--sorry for the dark picture. they are stuck away in a corner outside and too much light reflects off the bags when i use the flash



will update again as things take off.

Thanks for the update! The spores of Vv we got from MRCA did nothing...I put some on agar, some on LC, some onto grain. Maybe they got too cold in transit or something. Of the 5 cultures I got in that shipment, only the pioppino is cooperating.

Excellent work houdinihar! Hope to see fruits soon. My cultures died over winter unfortunately.

houdinihar, Do you mind if I post some pics of my cultures and grain jars as they progress in your thread. I am working with some spores i got from Hawaii and they are doing very well. 

Hope everything is going well. Would love to see how those compost bags are doing.

Lipa--
that would be fine--we can mix and match and have some fun and share success.

I fInally managed to isolate the straw mushroom out of a wild patch and just inoculated grain spawn yesterday, I plan to grow it on sterilized substrate so that I can harvest clean spore prints and start anew because I think these musrooms probably senesc quickly .

Good luck, Lenny.  This is a species in which I'm greatly interested.  I hope to learn from your success!  ... and pictures (please). :grin:

I will start taking picture for you guys one of these days . not much to see becauser I have to use polyproplene spawn jars I specially adapt not glass and you cannot see the threadlike mycelium through the plastic through a camera all that well . But in a few days after it grew out some it should be something workth seeing .

How do I tell when my VV grai spaw is actually ready, It is now full of the stringy growth ad secrtions are gfetting whiter and denser but at what point is it then perfect for inoculation?

Hi Lenny,

I often read, that mature spawn shows brown areas, which results from the production of asexual spores directly from the mycelium. Because of this ability, you will not have to worry about senescence, as the mycelium will refresh its genetic clock by fusing with its own offspring.

I was reading about the asexual spre capacity and as I see these brown patches I was suspecting that they are pre fruition spores but I never really confirmed it, so wow I do not have to fruit this out in order to start again from spores I can just do infinite grain spawn transfers (bvbarring contaminants of course) with whaty i got !!! thats amazing what a bringer of good news! thank you!
Also i often thought that young non senescent myceliuym can recharge senescing mycelium or that senescing mycelium can pass on its cantaminant resisting and substrate digesting experience on to new young mycelium, here is at least one species that does that!

Sure, as long as the mycelia are compatible, they will exchange nuclei and distribute them throughout the whole hyphal network.

I just discovered a neat trick with Vv. I Sterlised 8 spawn jars and I realised I did not have enough of any one thing to inoculate them, I had a bit of a not very good grain spawn, a few old petri dishes that were mostly used up to inoculate prior batches, and I had a petri dish that I decided to pour hot agar over to clean it up a bit and teh agar was aggresively pushing through the new agar layer, so I had to use a bit of all innoculums and let me tell you the dish that was hot agared exploded into the grain spawn . so the trick is grow it out on a plate pour some hot (but not too host!) agar over it and wait for it to start pushing through then use that to inoculate the grain spawn, there is something about the mycelium fully colonizing a dish and resting, sort of maturing throwing a few asexual spores around and basicly chilling out and then waking it up my covering it with hot agar and then using that, It out performed normal agar wedges .

hi all, this is my first post in this forum. I'm from Indonesia and farming paddy straw mushroom also.
This is my spawn and the fresh fruit picture..
I hope i can get some inputs from all of you guys..

Could I see some pictures of your setup? Are you using trays?
