Well I'm sure you could use wood chips like you use verm but I was looking at those pics and just didn't see any way that thing would fruit. It would be pretty awesome if it did though.

I can't see the pics that well but if that casing is more the 30% colonized id fruit it. If you get fruits cut and don't twist and pull

haha nice to see you guys have a bet on :P

Just to keep you updated after 2 days i'm counting 8 small pins coming through in a few clusters, these are quite small and i'm thinking will probably be aborts but oh well, pics coming soon :smile:

I also went and bought some cow manure, gypsum, lime and coir today to last me for quite some time so I think this will be the last time I try anything like this haha

just as a side note, even though these things aren't growing the best, the mix is actually very resistant to contam colonization. After while of frustration due to a lack of supplies, as you can see by my shoddy fruiting chamber, I did not really practice the best of aseptic techniques. Some of the spawn bags had a fair amount of moisture in them as well which had leaked through the filter patches during autoclaving.
I also did not work or do my spawn transfers in a glove box and it was interesting to note that I got 0 contams. I guess you could argue that's due to there being a lack of nutrients available for colonization but obviously there was enough for mycelium growth so one would assume there would be enough for contams to grow too?
Just a side thought that something positive can be taken from this situation and stromriders regrettable loss...sorry dude :frown: I was backing you lol

Interesting, best of luck too you! Whatever happens, when your done put it out in nature! If your not already doing this with all your spent subs/spawn your missing out:mushroom2:. Even if your climate is not ideal at the very least it wont be going too a landfill.

Is it possibly feasible to put spent substrates in a refrigerator during months of below freeing temperatures to slow them down and take bak out to bury in spring in hopes of them producing?

yeah, sorry stromrider :frown: there are heaps more pinning but they are just growing quite slew and varied. Pretty crap and I got more out of cakes but these fruits are much larger and actually look like metaztapecs (the fruits from my cakes looked very very different in size an appearance to these, these ones are thick,dense and have a definite nipple on the cap).

In regards to planting them out; it would be nice to do but unfortunately I live in a major city in a student flat so putting it in our common garden area would make some kids very happy but also cause other people to start getting snoopy... one of the big reasons this is a fun hobby is because absolutely nobody i kno has any idea hat i'm doing it,not even my girlfriend. getting found out would ruin my fun... I don't/have never even eaten a mushroom, it's just fun/exciting to gro as many as I can and stock pile them lol. so yeah I can't do that here at the moment but maybe i can later after i move out in a fe months :smile: sorry about the poor spelling, my doubleu key is broken atm...

Don't be sorry. I'm glad you got some fruits and I enjoyed sending these guys some prints. I am spreading the love baby!  A couple of them are even sending me something in return. We got some really great people here. This is a wonderful community and I feel very fortunate to be a part of it :smile:
