I really, really dig the vibe over at mycotopia more than here, actually.

Their user interface is so fucking horrible, though, I can't stand it. :nonono:

Not exactly. The TCs are all good cultivators, but they aren't all Deep Thinkers. And they are all good teachers, but not all Distinguished.
And several of our teachers were never on this site or are not TCs here if they ever did visit.
Stamets, for example.

My wife's father - my father-in-law, I suppose - bought a few shiitake substrate blocks from FungiPerfecti, speaking of Stamets.

My wife and I were given one. :woot:

It's just beginning to popcorn. I'm thinking about taking it out of the filter patch bag, and letting it dry out for a couple weeks before initiating fruiting.

I've been meaning to cultivate one of the two shiitake cultures I possess, but I've been too lazy. Thanks to Stamets, I've been forced into it. :banana:

Oh, man, I can't believe I didn't think of this guy:


I TOTALLY gotta nominate Fahtster = :trophy: :super:

:doh:

...although I'm half-motivated to NOT nominate the bastard, since he quit growing for no good reason. :nonono:

STAMETS IS A BRILLIANT DUDE, ....

to say the least.

Mycillium running is pretty much my doctoral text book. Don't tell anyone in academics. :laugh2:

He inspired me to go into private research rather than have a university own my lifes work after a shit load of blood, sweat, and tears.

Although I am really connected to academia in my "real life" I will be the first one to tell ya' they are a bunch of pompous, ego-driven wind bags in the end. I know a molecular geneticist who is a fuckin' genius but can't even tie his own shoes. What I mean by that is his entire being is owned by pharmaceutical America never mind the fact that he doesn't know how to deal with real life.

Its a shame. He is actually a really nice guy with a big brain being used by the system.

I have found that the system is nothing but a big box,.  ...... Think outside the box!

Agar has been mentioned, but Magash should be up there.  If it weren't for him, I probably would of never made it as far as I did in this hobby.

Well, all the aforementioned growers/myco nerds have helped me.

Also, I'd have to give a huge shout out to all the AMU guys (not myself though, obviously)...They're the ones that really help me take off in this hobby, especially 13, Boris &...who's that douche bag...o yea, Damion5050 :wink: Just playin' buddy, much love

Ozzy, huge help on the spare room build.

It's great, everyone on here brings a completely different skill set to the table & applies it to help everyone w/ a collective voice, for the most part. Obviously, we're going to disagree...

Doc_T - yea, I just recently put 3 tubs in a bag & all 3 got bacteria/yeast infections...the tubs left outta the bags are all fine...screw black trash bags

WE gotta get a bag thread going...

I've never had trouble with using bags, if the spawn was clean.
But I'm open to new ideas for sure. Doesn't early exposure to light and air cause pinning irregularities?

I keep mine in a closet up on a shelf. I don't even look @ them till 7 days after spawning...

The first tubs I did like that pinned early due to me keeping the door closed, thus lowering the temp in the closet. I also kept handling them throughout colonization, which forced air out causing FAE rather than GE. They pinned in about 7 days.

I've had 4 tubs in there since 2/19 & they're fine. No pins, colonizing great...I don't think it's the light, it's the FAE that really screws people over, because they don't have enough room to keep their tubs up high in a closet somewhere else...

Remind me to give you an update on Wednesday Doc, you can PM then I won't forget.  That's my next check on them day. I'll take pics too if ya want.

Absolutely not. I used to think the same thing. Then I tried it with the light. I'm tellin' you Doc you gotta try it :smile: you will be fuckin' pleased. I really did it out of lazyness and I haven't lost anything since. I have even spawned grains that I though would turn for sure. I mean the LC was sitting out for months and there was definitely a shit load of bacteria in it. That shit recouperated in three days. Mycillium is fucking strong shit. I have found it to live symbiotically with bacteria if the conditions are correct.

I'm starting a bag thread tonight.
I have some tubs that are on days 1-3 right now and are out of the bag. I'll post pics and we can figure this thing out.

There are far too many people that have helped me along the way to even begin to mention without leaving somebody out. That being said, I think you all deserve rewards just for participating on the forum and helping everyone out. Even the dumbest question can reveal knowledge so I commend ALL members.

...with Doc_T using MSGs I would think there would be too much drying of the substrate without a bag. I do believe he said he airs them out every couple of days. Not sure bags are an option with MSGs.

So, Doc_T - what's the story of the traditional monotubs you tried before that failed? I assume they were placed in bags as well?

I'm thinking, generally speaking, for best results:

MSGs = colonization in a bag, burp the bag every 2-3 days

Monotubs = virtually same conditions as during fruiting. (...no bag.)

You'll be happy with the results. :banana:

I reach full colonization in under 1 week with a 1:4 substrate ratio. :grin:

To bag or not to bag? That is the question.....

MONOTUB without the black bag or duct tape on the hole.

Colonizing in an open environment.

I do this all the time.....

day one @ ~hour 24.

day two @ ~hour 48.

day three @ ~hour 72.


They always do this. The pattern is always a couple spots peeking on the first day, a few more on the second and on the third it explodes with rhizo growth. 90% of the time they are at 100% by day 5-6... latest day 7-8.

Dubtubs, I just snap the lid on the bottom, put them in a cabinet. No bag.
MSG tubs get a bag to prevent drying. Then they go in the cabinet.

I really don't have any place to colonize them in light.
