Quote:

Almost two months since inoculation, made on Feb 4th, started fruiting
on Feb 18th and here we are now April 1st. Both pasteurized bags were
made on the same day.

The supplemented bags were inoculated on Feb 9th, started fruiting
around March 1st.

It seems that the environmental conditions of a SGFC speeds up the
progress of coloring and growth as both pasteurized blocks were made
the same at the same time fruited around the same time etc. Only
variable between that block and the other is I placed it in the SGFC
on March 14th.




As far as I know you should harvest when the leading edge of white
in the fruit body starts to turn red. That is what they say for the
conks, not sure how it works for the antlers. Either way I am enjoying
watching them grow so might let them go for a while longer.

I plan to start some more reishi projects at a later time hopefully
with a few different strains, I am in love with this fungi :love:

UPDATE:

April 11th 2011



Pasteurized Blocks



Supplemented Blocks



Today I choose to harvest one of the pasteurized blocks. Here are
some pictures of the process

Before Harvest



It took a good amount of prying and wiggling to get this bastard separated
from the sawdust substrate



274 Grams of fresh Reishi antlers



After shredding it all up here is what we have. I saved one antler
to dry whole for a souvenir.

Wicked pics Evil! Congrats on the success:awethumb:

Do you plan on continuing with medicinals? Or was this a novelty to say that you had done it?

Never mind ..lol..I read up thread. I got tunnel vision on the antlers.

Beautiful reishi.
I have been thoroughly enjoying this log and all the photos. Definitely inspiring.
Looking forward to seeing the other blocks through to harvest too.

Thanks guys!

Things are drying as we speak and tomorrow morning I plan to ingest
my first cup of Reishi tea!

Of course I will keep updated with the other blocks, and I have some
plans in the future to try a different strain under the same conditions.

Thanks everyone for following along!

These look fantastic!
I love reishi!
Mine is in my FC at the moment but nothing happens.
If nothing happens, I'll take them outside. It's foolproof.
Thank you for sharing this with us!:thumbup:

Update:

I figure the harvest from block #1 should be dry by tomorrow, I plan
to make a water based extract and freeze individual dose's in an ice
cube tray along with making some tea.

I will also update with a dry weight and perhaps pictures.

Thank you kind sir,

I have yet to try any now that they are dry, I figure this weekend I
will brew up some tea for myself and the lady to give it a try. I plan
to start at a low dosage just in case either of us have adverse reactions,
it is my understanding that this is a good idea for trying any new
mushroom.

Thanks for the inspiration Meph, you set me on the right track brother
and I greatly appreciate it :thumbup:

Fantastic results evil.  I might have to snag one of your pics for my screen background.  Very pretty looking.  Seems that the pasteurized block is doing nicely.

This is an awesome thread Evil. I just received a bag of Reishi grain spawn in the mail today and am very excited to get this amazing mushroom growing. Thanks for documenting the progress of your blocks. Clearly your persistence has paid off!

UPDATE:

Last night I tried my first cup of reishi tea by myself and lets just
say I have had an adverse reaction.

I steeped around 2.5 grams of reishi in boiling water for 5-10 minutes
before adding a tea bag and ingesting.

15-20 minutes later I started to feel a slight tingle in my arms and
under my skin all over my body and an uneasiness started to form in
my stomach. I started to feel really uneasy and my stomach started to
do flips. I ended up puking 5 separate times and spent most of the
night feeling terrible and not myself. I ended up falling asleep and
woke up this morning feeling fine.

I went about my day and was fine until I ate some lunch. About 20 minutes
after eating lunch I started to feel sick again and the feelings of
uneasiness and flushing started again. I ended up puking up my lunch
and over the last few hours have dealt with feeling off.

I am just now starting to feel better and the sensations of unease
and tingling have started to go away, although I do not plan to eat
anything else today in hopes that whatever is still in my system is
flushed away.

Needless to say this was all not a pleasant experience and I do not
plan to ingest reishi again.

Side note: I have in the past been hyper sensitive to many
medications both natural and otherwise and have severe allergic
reactions to fungal based anti-biotics. I am not surprised at my reactions to
reishi and I am glad that I choose a smaller dose for my first tea.

This just goes to show once again that we are all different and you
should always approach ingesting a new mushroom with caution.

Damn, EM, that's terrible! :sad:
Hope you feel completely better soon!
It's a shame you'll have to miss out on all the goodies from reishi. Being a stubborn idiot that I am, I'd probably try it again just to make sure it wasn't a cleansing reaction or something. But better not to play with fire.
I just harvested my first block and will be making my first cup of tea tomorrow, this is unfortunately a good warning and I'll sure be careful.
But this doesn't sound like a regular allergic reaction, did you notice anything besides stomach problems afterwards?
