How does that bucket smell?  After 33 days and still that little colonized I'm willing to bet theres somekind of bacterial contamination in there.

No smell still.  :-)  And in spite of gnats feasting in there also.  :-(

Day 35  Only one of two buckets has some fruits so far.  Compared to my second modified laundry basket experiment, the buckets didn't produce much.  Amazingly, the straw in the buckets still don't have any unpleasant smell.

Day 15 One of two modified laundry basket experiment #2 is showing a lot of pinning to 3 out of the four sides.  There are at least 8 on this picture.  This is the same basket where I skimmed the top to put in my woodchips monotub experiment.  And so far, the mycelium in the monotub are also still growing.

Actually, I plan on pushing the limit even further.  Come Spring, I plan on trying this:

This is a comparison of the Grey Dove and the Blue Oysters.  The Blue Oysters sure grow aggressively.

Cool comparison shot.  Yeah the blues really like to make a LOT of pins in each cluster, for some reason...

From now on, I'll grow the blues then.  I'll also try the Lion's mane someday.  I just need to learn how to prepare the substrate and have my friend start making and selling spawns.

Not that it's necessarily better having more pins, having fewer mushrooms with bigger caps and less stem might be better, since the stems of oysters can get chewy.  Just something to think about :smile:  They're both fun!

Lion's mane, also fun.  And easy!  You tried wood fuel pellets yet?

I haven't tried the fuel pellets yet.  I'm waiting for my friend to get his Lion's mane production up and growing.  This way, I can buy his grain spawns at a less expensive price and I will know that his growing technique really works for our area.

Plus, if my experiments actually work out, then all I'll need later on are woodchip or straw substrates soaked in cold lime bath.  In short, I'm trying to find the simplest and easiest way of growing and propagating mushrooms.

I've decided to harvest most of the blue oysters today.  There were a lot of dried out pins from this batch and I think I should have done the same thing as I did the second attempt - putting a see-through plastic bag over the whole crate for increased humidity and putting slits for more FAE.  I'll see if it's not too late to do that now.
