PF Tek with Mexicube strain.
    #16527020 - 07/13/12 06:10 PM (11 years, 6 months ago)

Finally got our cakes in the fruiting chamber! The strain is "Mexicube".  There's 4 cakes in total, out of the original 5 there were, as one somehow ended up without a dry vermiculite barrier, and was contaminated of course.  Steam sterilized in a pot for quite a long time, and the jars were inoculated in a glove box.  No problems with contams in the jars as they colonized, although they were a little slow.  The strain is "Mexicube".  I'm hoping to get some spores from this grow, and contribute to the free spore ring :smile:

Here's the pics.

Question on this one.  There's around 3 inches of perlite in the chamber, but I read 3-5 is optimal, with more being better. That 3 inches was all there was in the bag, so do I need to go get more perlite and add it in?  Or will it just need to be misted more often?

EDIT - More perlite was added into the chamber on 7/15/12





Side Shot -



Any advice is greatly appreciated!


UPDATE - 7/16/12 We have shrooms!


Got some growing finally!  This is the 3rd day they've been in the chamber.  Only 2 cakes have shown growth so far.  They were also the only 2 cakes that had tiny little invitro pins in the jars.






The other cakes are munching on the vermiculite, hopefully we'll get some pinning soon.


UPDATE : 7/17/12 All the cakes show growth but one!


Here's the cake previously posted that had the pins.  They've grown a little over night.  Looks like a mutant is growing in the bottom of the cluster, and it seems to be mostly blue stained as well.



Another cake with new mushrooms growing.



Cake with the least growth



There's one more cake that is yet to pin, hoping for the best!

Update - 7/18/12

We've got a 2 shrooms that look like they're gonna turn out to be huge!





Good vibes man :heytherebadboy:

Update - 7/24/12

Six days since the last update.  We tested the shrooms we've grown last weekend, and it was great!  Here's a good shot of one of our cakes.



And here's a weird mutant!

There won't be any problems with gingerly handling the cakes and setting them aside as more perlite is added right?  No problem with possible contamination with the exposure?

Wash hands well first, be gentle when handling.
Think of a cake like a kitten. It's a separate thing, but sensitive.

Bump.  Updated with pics.

Also, two of the cakes are getting a bluish tinge.  Is this because of lack of moisture?
