First mushroom ever
#14088770 - 03/08/11 08:13 PM (12 years, 10 months ago) |

And zoom in

Can you tell me what's that? It's pretty big, like 1cm high.


And if you look at the last picture, you can see there are many of these little white dots called kypnal knots or something. I have lots of these, but only few pinning. Is there any case where people have lots of knots but low pin set?
Anyways.. all seem to be ok so far? Tell me something please, because I feel anxious.
It is a day 7

yey! Thanks.
I want to make sure there will be a good pin set. Which one is more important, humidity or air exchange? I know that there should be as much air exchange as possible considering that humidity shouldnt fall below 95%, but I already have pretty big holes in the tub imo - 2,4 inch and 4 of these, AND I have a computer fan blowing the air around in the box, and the hygrometer I have is still showing a maximum humidity. Can I try to increase FAE or will I be risking the humidity that way? I still have a DIGITAL hygrometer.. so Im thinking maybe it isnt going to show me this little 10 percent drop when in reality it is already fallen down to 80 percent or somewhere there. I dont really know much about how these hygrometers work, but OTHER THAN THAT I made a test by wrapping a wet hot towel around it and it showed 95% to me. In my monotub it is showing even more.

Oh Ive read EVAPORATION is very important too. To be honest, Im still seeing some little water drops (morning dew) on the substrate. Does it mean I could increase the evaporation? .. so this could be done by increasing air flow then? Yes?
Although the quality and quantity of pins is more what Im interested in than the speed of the process itself.
.... maybe you could just link me to some useful thread about this subject instead.

just make sure that the polyfil is loosely stuffed. if it starts to get dry, dont hesitate to mist and fan manually

Damn. I woke up and found my hygrometer on the knots. It had fallen down during night and left a mark on the substrate

There are some yellow spots there now.. Is it a coincidence? .. and have I killed the knots on the mark and near it?
Logically taken it cant be such a big deal but I still feel bad about it.
How do mushrooms heal in general?

The yellow area is questionable, but as long as it is not contamination the mycelium will heal just fine and there will be nothing to worry about. Just keep an eye on that spot to make sure it doesn't spread. What is the texture of the yellow stuff?

I don't know how to describe the texture, but I'm pretty sure it's just from drying out. I think it's because of the fan I've kept running inside. I took the fan out and it seems to be all ok now. Humidity is 100% too.
Look, 24 hours later. It has doubled in size, I think:

7 mushrooms so far:

And 24 hours later.
first mushroom in the left

There are total of 10 mushrooms now. I think my first flush will be pretty poor, because there's not many pins. I can see lots of knots but only 10 mushrooms forming out of them.. so far.
Other than that, they look healthy to me. But there are still some yellowish spots on mycelium, and its on the upper parts of it - looks like dryness.

Is misting a monotub a good idea overall? Doesn't those little droplets of water block the oxygen or something like that?
(I've been misting 1x a day so far) But I have not been fanning Only peeking to take pictures I'm afraid to lower the humidity inside as the substrate doesn't seem to be very moist (if you look at the space between the substrate and walls)

And 24 hours later.
I woke up and humidity had fallen down to 84%. That scared the hell out of me and then I imagined a big rainy clouds flying over the mushrooms, at the same time holding a mister in my hands and doing nothing but misting and misting and misting. I misted so much that I had to refill the water inside and mist more. Now, 12 hours later I SEE PINS EVERYWHERE, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME I SEE SO FAST GROWTH. It really seems to me that those rainy clouds have waken up the mushrooms in my tub!! I'm so happy. Humidity is 100% too
MY SUBSTRATE WAS TOO DRY! 
(There are not just 10 mushrooms anymore, there is 10 times more of them. Lots of little tiny pins forming now)

I love that first picture of the lone shroom... but I'm glad to hear after misting the hell out of it, you've got lots of pins growing! Looking forward to seeing how this progresses!

And 24 hours later.

I counted over 130 pins, but there are more. Some are very little yet. 
Quantity of pins growing in every day, and growth of mushrooms are almost visually detectable. It is extraordinary experience to me. I love this. Shroomery is fantastic. Growing mushrooms is fantastic. I will start considering growing mushrooms for living.

Kill the PC fan, I can see from the puckered caps and the yellowing of the substrate surface that it's drying out (despite what the hygrometer says), at least at the surface level. 
One of the benefits of monotubs is the set-and-forget nature of them. Once stuffed with polyfill in fruiting conditions, it'll maintain moisture levels and exchange air by itself.
Congrats on your grow, welcome to the addiction. Your only thought from now on will be "what else can I do next".

Yup, it was a bad idea placing it inside, but I've already taken it out 3 days ago, and everything seems to be doing better now. Never again.

And 24 hours later.
First 3 pictures are taken from behind the walls. It adds kind of cool graphics effect 
First mushroom

Second mushroom 

Overview

Is it normal to have so different sizes of mushrooms at the same time? .. some mushrooms are still going from knot to pin - very tiny (for example in last picture)
Oh and sorry for killing the forums hard disk by uploading so many pictures every day. I can't stop it anymore.

Upload all the pictures you can, you have an incredible camera. Colors look good, focus is perfect, etc. I feel like I'm looking at encyclopedia entries.
Yeah it's normal for pins and full sized fruits to share the same time frame. Ideally you want a full pinset that happens at once and they all mature at roughly the same time, but with multispore this is a dice roll.
If you clone the early pinners (your largest fruits at this point) there's a chance that the clone will produce fast fruiters of desirable size. Most people prefer to clone clusters to even out the pinset though. It's up to you; you could clone both and grow each one out to see if there's any correlation.
You should get into agar work next. It really feels like work, but it produces results. Materials are cheap too and it adds a versatile tool to your repertoire. Plus, it feels really science-y and requires new skills, so it's fun.

Haha, I haven't felt that happy for a long time. This forum will always have a place in my heart 
As for the cloning, I should start reading about it right away. I don't have much time left to clone my first one, or do I?
Bio, you're the second person who is suggesting me to start AGAR. Yes, at first it really seem to mess with my brains when I read about it, but I think it's because I haven't gone through any grow yet from beginning to the end.. so the picture is kind of incomplete.
Can I make one more grow starting from a LC please? I was planning to make new LC bottles tomorrow. After that I will move to AGAR, okaay? 
In a meanwhile I will learn about casing. Then I will maybe even place a casing layer onto the substrate after my first flush.. to hopefully increase pin set.
Edit: It's funny I just noticed I've said Bio to Afrosheen. I thought Afrosheen was Biologys for some reason woops. I guess you guys have something in common then a descent mindfuck..

lol bro go at everything at your own speed, i've been growing for over a year before i went into agar, I honestly just recently started it myself..
I was terrified to try and learn it, but its honestly simple as hell, and im so glad i learned it...I've cleaned 3 diff cultures that I would of been pissed if I would of just put spores into grain jars all of them would of contam'd
but i was able to clean them out and have fully grown clean cultures on plates that I'm growing out in grain jars now

That's just one of the benefits. Cleaning up is primary, isolating is secondary. It's easy to spot fast, strong, rhizomorphic growth on agar then transfer that to another plate a few times to isolate a strong monoculture.

Haha, you can do it in parallel, and if you're just cleaning up and isolating from a print, you don't need a fresh fruit to take a tissue sample from. I realize it seems daunting at first, but we can lay it all out for you. Petri dishes are also pretty cheap.

And 24 hours later.
Look how badly they have grown bigger with one day. It seems like the speed of growth is building up as they get bigger.
First mushroom.

Second mushroom.

Weird mushroom.

Overview.

Little pins.

Is this the right time to harvest my first mushroom? The veil seems to be broken. It happened today.
Quantity of pins has also grown. Do I seem to have a descent pin set finally? .. At first I thought there would be only few mushrooms in my first flush as I had a problem with the dryness of substrate, but hard misting seem to have done it's work well.
Can you make a prediction of the total outcome of my first flush by dry weight as you're looking at these pictures? What should I expect roughly?

let the caps flatten out just a bit and then print them bad boys..you'll have enough spores to last you the rest of your life :-P
no way of guessing how much of a yeild you're going to get
as well with MS i've had alot of tubs look that way, start out with a few mushrooms, then once harvest them it seems the real flush comes in and gives a nice canopy.

Ok, but I thought I would better clone it with LC.  Taking spores sounds a bit more messy.
Although, the most reasonable thing to do must be to eat this shroom when its fresh.
I have no clue how much is it going to weight? But the weather is beautiful outside. Snow is melting, sun is shining.. spring is coming....
Oh dear.

yes make a clone, but i'd still take prints, so you can trade, and/or keep the prints incase your LC fails you will have some to fall back on
not messy at all, I have a plastic dish bought from dollar store thats 18"x8" i put my foil 4"x8", in layers...like this

then place the lid on loosely, and come back in 10-12 hours and you have beautiful dark prints...take your caps off put them to dry, and place lid back on allowing the prints to dry for 4 hours or so, then fold and you have some purdy prints to trade, store for your collection or whatever you want to do!

Ok, fine. I will use other good-looking shrooms for prints. Definitely.
But I don't want to hurt my first one. I want it to keep its pretty form

And 24 hours later.
I couldn't get to upload the pictures, because ...


... I was tripping balls.
I ate a 26g mushroom, and had a transformative trip. I haven't really done it for a big while till now. I kind of had a telepatical connection with my cat and I could communicate with him much more easily. I managed to made him do things he hasn't done before (lol, don't take this in the wrong way). I know my cats behaviour very well, and I just haven't seen him act so strange. At one instance, he was walking around me, really fast. Walking and walking and walking. Didn't stop even once and it lasted for about 5 minutes. When I moved, he followed and sometimes he was walking by some weird zig-zag trajectory. He was very agressive, not angry, more like playful.. and he had an face like he didn't understand what the heck is happening. It was very surreal experience, but at the same time I knew I was influencing his movements and behaviour with my mind and bodylanguage. It was fun. I enjoyed his company, and he enjoyed mine.
Muchrooms really do seem to increase brain efficiency to me.
Cultivation
Wow, the big one weighted 87,3g fresh. After I've cut the big mushrooms off, little ones have immensely speeded up (new pictures are coming in 3-4 hours)
They weighted 406g grams in total. But I still have some mushrooms left.. so I'm waiting for the results.
I would really like you to see my upcoming pictures in few hours, because I don't know how long for more should I keep them in the ground. Many of them seem to have opened up already, but they are so close to each other that I can't pick them up one by one anymore..
Thank you.

Nice shrooms!! Awesome to see how this turned out from one lone to shroom to a sea of pins with monster shrooms.
On a side note, It'd be pretty cool if I could talk to my cats...

And 24 hours later.




Without effects:




My weekly upload limit with shroomery has reached its limit. Sorry for that.
Can you Please instruct me, how should I do harvesting? Are they ready yet? Many of them have opened up, but many of them haven't. Can I let them grow for 1 more day to wait for the little ones?

well i normally print most of my caps, so i take a sharp sterile knife and cut the caps off, and put them on foil, that opens it up a bit so you can come back in and get the stems and have room to work..

Oh but doc, my first 10 mushrooms weighed about 407g. I have to add these to those which you see in the last pictures too. After all, how many percent of mass or weight do they lose while drying? I've seen people saying about 90% will be lost.
I'm going to bet on 125g we will see who gets closer.

Hey, can I wait for a few days before I dunk the cake/substrate?
And when I'm done dunking, do I just switch the lights on and continue like I did before - the usual stuff?
PS: I made a dehydrator closet The pot on the bottom is giving heat. There is a 60W bulb in it. Looks funky.

Hi.
Wanted to let you know, that out of 1970g of fresh mushrooms I got 144g of dried mushrooms.
My mushrooms were 92,7% water.
(Btw, I haven't experienced such a good smell of mushrooms in my life before. Very sweet chocolate/peanut butter like aroma)
I will make a picture when my second flush is ready to harvest.

Let me upload some:


My second flush seem to have much less pins than first one. But some of the fruits still look nice.
