ecuador mushroom advice appreciated
    #19181339 - 11/24/13 03:14 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

hi all

I have researched and collected all the data I can on Ecuador mushrooms but its hard for me to understand fully because of the terminology as this is sort of new to me.

this is ma second grow with a grow kit. the first time I grew (around 3 to 4 years ago) I lost the whole lot to contamination. as I only had one jar and couldn't find a local source for vermiculite. so I gave up for a few years. now I've decided to have another go. I've bought another kit with extra jars made up ready to go. I inoculated Tuesday and waiting to see results. I placed the jar in my airing cupboard as this is the only place I can keep them warm I am also planning on keeping them in there for the fruiting stage to.

the questions I want to ask is:-
how long do spores last in a vial?
when should I expect to see some results (cakeing stage)?
is some sort of artificial light good for them during the fruiting stage as I'm keeping them in the airing cupboard?
the kit told me to inject in the middle but my first kit told me to inject in 4 places around the edge. have i done it wrong or right this time?

many thanks

Inject on the sidez not the middle and a cupboard isn't a good spot to fruit, look into shot gun fruiting chambers for your cakes and post some pics of your kit so we can tell u where there wrong

hi all
sorry haven't posted back for a while. have had no internet. I've taken some pictures of kit and progress so far. I now have one jar with spores injected in middle and one with them injected down the sides. I have a small growth starting in the jar injected down the sides and nothing happening in the one with them injected in the middle (even though that's what the instructions said do). I'm yet to still look into shotgun fruiting. (will do that soon).

thanks for your help

If you're seriously interested in growing mushrooms do it yourself, grow kits suck. But that is off topic. Inject on 4 sides not in the middle so you can see first signs of life,thus seeing if it contaminates or not. Do you mean in a syringe? If it is in a vial and you suck it out in open airi wouldn't imagine that'd be too good. But it will last for a very long while at cool temps, (you can refrigerate but i never did) i once used a MS a year later with great results. If all goes well id say probably 20-30 days until it's a solid cake.  SGFC don't fruit it in a cupboard! Good luck man, happy shroomin':mushroom2:

cheers for the advice.
I am very interested in mushrooms, they amaze me how they grow and look and so on. the reason for buying a kit is because it worked out cheaper than buying things separate. I want to start small and see how it goes. if it goes well then will buy everything and do it myself.

the spore vial is like one at hospital. you stab the needle through a rubber bung. alcohol wipe everything and sterilize before hand.

for future reference does anybody recommend any good websites for getting spores in UK?

if I was to use a light what sort of light could I use? does the lamp have to be a UV lamp?
