So I guess you keep it at 25c+ for the VV the drop it to 15c for the Oysters!?

If I ever get a VV culture I will give this a go, I have the set up to be able to do it.



No, he was referring to Pleurotus djamor, Pleurotus citrinopileatus and Pleurotus cystidiosus.  Sorry, I should have been more specific.  The colder strains would problematic, as you mentioned.



I am working with pulmonarius, and will try it with that, if I can
get clean V.v. spawn....right now I have only V. bombycina.

Is this what y'all are talking about?

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=250908074103&siteId=0&isClassified=false

... or this ...

http://www.hormex.com/products/liquid-concentrate/

If so ...

Can I use it productively on kings?

At what stage, after colonization and consolidation, to induce pins?

How much?

What other benefits vis-a-vis kings?

EDIT: Actually, that paper has a lot of useful info ... maybe I'll just have to play with these hormones and see what happens for myself.

all mushrooms react on growing hormones, from mycelium formation until fruiting.The impact is different on all species, we use it on Calocybe, Volvariella and lentinus.I have no experience on using it on Pleurotus as we do not cultivate Pleurotus.
Had last year some correspondance with scientist in my home country who works in the National mushroom institute and he told me there were on going trials on oysters for the account of a private spawn company but was not at liberty to divulge any details he only told me that it seemed very usefull in the first two stages  agar and grain spawn to produce a very fast growing grain spawn that reduced the time to fruiting considerably

Ah, Okay, thank you, bitepourrie.  I think I'm on the right track now.

This, Gibberllic Acid, appears to be a good hormone to learn to use.

Here, in the States, I guess Sigma would be a good supplier.  For example ...

Thanks again!

Here's a paper I just found on the some growth tests run using ODA:

It's an entire paper, not just the abstract. I googled the one you found, JD, and to my horror, saw that ScienceDirect controlled it. I don't mind paying a reasonable price for a single good scientific paper pdf, but $41.95?



WOW!!  That was a good read, plenty of food for thought and lots of experiments to run.

Thank you BiteP for bringing this to light.  (still so much to learn)

I've tried to buy reagents from Sigma-Aldrich, but was unable to because they restrict sales to approved medical or scientific labs which can supply compliance or regulatory certification.

And all I was trying to do was buy Lactophenol Blue stain, 1.0 N hydrochloric acid, and 95-98% sulfuric acid! :laugh:  Time was a kid could find these in his chemistry set!

Fortunately, there are other sources, if you look for them.

Ebay works for me, too :thumbup:

I'll check it out and order a little "GA" if I can find some, and apply it to some of my production blocks, not others, and report any difference.  I will be fruiting kings in a week or so.

I called these guys and they said they'd sell GA or anything that wasn't hazardous to me. :thumbup:

Good luck ... I hope you try some of this stuff, too, Terry, and share results, too.  I'm going to spritz my chicken with it :grin:

Hi you Volvariella lovers. Does this look like your Paddy straw mushroom? People in this town culture this Volvariella but somehow it doesn't seem to be Volvacea. It's also much bigger. I posted it in the ID forum but I thought I'd ask you VV experts as well.
This is a species that people here in North Philippines know as paddy straw mushroom. Somehow they do not look like the ones I see in Manila, Bangkok and Taiwan. It is obviously edible since they sell it in the market regularly. Growing in mung bean hull. 7"-8" diameter cap 7" tall. The base is as much as 2" diameter. Pink spore print well brown pink. Thanks

hi sparki , whats on the pict is Volvariela volvacea but its not te ordinary kind.There exist several substrains, one come from norther Thailand and is cultivated by a company "anonbiotech". What i see is what they call the giant volvariella.Would love to have culture of these. If youconsult Mendoz(1938 paper) he cites about 6 different kind of Volvariella.You know you have over 7,000 islands and there is a large diversity in the species. Did you got a culture of these ????

Been looking for a strong VV strain. Since it's VV season here, now is my chance. And they're all from spores. I did clone this one but I want to have like 20 others and look for the best one. I have the giant VV from Thailand but it's still in the bottle. So I'm certain this VV is a local. I hope it's faster than the one from Thailand

Thats your big chance , put bothe strains on each side of a bottle and let them fuse ,cut out the fused rhizo strands(will need good eyes or microscope)about 15 pct will probably fuse the rest is basura
Thats how you get a  hulk volva strain

I guess the fastest, most vigorous strain. I have 3 now but they seem to be the same speed.
