My First Reishi Grow
    #14461852 - 05/16/11 12:26 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Firstly I would like to thank EvilMushroom666 for sending me this culture and for putting up with my random PMs and secondly I would like to thank you all for making this site what it is......addictive.:lol:

These are my first attempt at reishi but I have loved watching them grow they look like they are not form this world everyone who has seen them thinks they look alien.:rocket:

I can't remember when I spawned these bags but they were rye grain jars that I inoculated with a agar wedge. I then cut up lots of cardboard I had been saving which nearly destroyed my hands and pasteurized the cardboard in two filter patch bags then added my spawn once cooled of course.

Here are both of the blocks.



The block on the left has a lot more antlers growing on it than the other block but I think this might be because of the cardboard I used. The one on the left used only brown corrugated cardboard whilst the one on the right had all sorts in it. Different colours some with a glossy appearance this block did not colonize entirely whilst the other did. Could this be why the first block performed better?





Also I let the block on the right fruit inside the bag with only the top left slightly open and the other block was put inside a SGFC. So next time I will just open the bags up once they start fruiting.

The second block looks like it has hand/claws which is kinda cool and like it is rising out of the block. :lol:

Glad to have been a help brother, thanks for sharing your grow with
us all!

I noticed personally that blocks that are placed into a SGFC tend to
color up a little faster then fruiting inside the bag. Do note I was
using pasteurized fuel pellets and not cardboard tho. From what I have
seen with your grow and others, cardboard tends to put out bigger and
meatier antlers.

Great job brother :congrats:

Thanks for checking my grow out EM.

I would agree with you about the colouration difference because I thought the ones in the bag still looked orange and not red like the other block.

I did want to use fuel pellets but I have so much waste cardboard sat around I thought I would give it a try then I could just compost the spent blocks once done.

I'm going to try some Lions Mane on 100% cardboard next to see what kind of results i get.
