bags not fully colonizing
    #18976050 - 10/14/13 10:52 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I've moved on to doing pasteurized sawdust & straw bags. I've had decent success, but am wondering why my bags don't fully colonize. it's isn't the biggest concern as I still get some great fruits.







maybe if my bags fully colonized the fruits would be more & bigger? with some of my bag ive left air on top of the bag before zip tying them shut then started cutting x's in them. while the others I sealed shut tightly, and poked holes with a pin all around the bag. for spawn I remember for the sawdust bags I used around 6 cups of pellets to 7 - 1/2 pint jars of spawn (3 1/2 pints). those bags did fairly well at the start but now they seemed to have halted at about 75% completion. a lot of the bags didn't have patches, but even the one w/ a patch never colonized fully. ive been keeping them in a storage area where they are kept in the dark, I occasionally check on them. now that im thinking about it some of the sawdust that didn't colonize looked a little dry.

I don't have any experience with the pinks, but with the goldens I found that the mycelium was not very robust and sometimes very hard to see - much less visible than with the grays I was used to.  Your bags may be colonizing fully, but just don't look like it.

Looks fully colonized to me. It will never be as white as say.... Reishi.

My pinks pins really early and never looks 100% white like other oyster species.  All looks well to me also.
