Hi everyone! This is my first post! It is quite amazing here and I must thank everyone on this forum for their great information! I have been lurking for about a year or more, but only recently started my mycology research. I have a BA in Biology and anything having to do with it intrigues me. I wanted to share some porn, get some feedback and make my presence known in the community. This is from SWIM: These where cultivated in a plastic tub, sealed other than a small drain hole on the bottom, ultrasonic humidifier going 24/7 with 2 drying chambers before the FC (gallon milk jugs). No fanning or misting. Substrate: Classic PF Tek but with pint jars, dunk for 24 hrs and roll. Larger shrooms are Z-strain, smaller are Vietnamese. Inoculation to first flush was 58 days, first flush weighing 56 grams wet (pic with red lighter). Z-strain cakes got dried out pre-pinning so a second dunk/roll was done (being impatient spawned experimentation which is not advisable to a newbie!), it was still the first to produce and is what the 58 day statistic is based on. 1 jar of 16 contaminated and the rest are good in all other aspects. RH 96%-99% (depends on which instrument your reading but stays constant), temp. ranges from 77-80F. Enjoy the pics and any tips are appreciated!

Good job. I agree probably could've used more fae. But hey gotta start somewhere. If like me at that point, I'd be looking for a PC now. Welcome to shroomery

Thanks for the info! I'm really enjoying it. 2 smaller viet's were ready today, and there was noticed to be some weird fuzzier mycelium looking stuff at the base of all the mushrooms, even pins, some of the pins were very swelled at the base due to this. Any ideas? Is this the fae issue? Fae was a concern initially, the FC was changed drastically and the first 3 cakes were compromised, so the original idea was went with, producing what was seen. The humidifier pumps out a sandwich bag of air per minute roughly. That seemed like enough fae to me so what should be done to increase it? Also, the old record of 58 days inoculation to mature fruit was beat today by the viet, 44 days. The first batch was set back quite a bit by the worry of fae and the drastic changes in the FC. Thanks for any ideas!

IF - the humidifier is sealed within, you'll only be cycling exhausted air around after a period of time. Just an idea, not sure if thats what you're doing though.

The humidifier is outside the FC, pumping fresh, outside air into the FC 24/7.
