Growing Reishi
    #19356079 - 01/01/14 08:06 PM (10 years, 29 days ago)

Hi all
  I just started growing Reishi in one of the kits in a bag, I'm in the process now of watering daily. My concern/question is, water is pooling up in the bottom of the bag, is this okay? Also right now I have a heating pad wrapped around  half of it, would it be more efficient for the pad to be under the kit and also would the heat radiate through the substrate?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like we are in mushroom country.

Peace
jon

Just to save you from the next person who might reply. You're doing it all wrong. Quit watering it and drain off the pooling water. You're drowning it. And water and an electric blanket is asking for a fire. You need to read up or watch a few videos on growing mushrooms man.

Idk what kind of kit you got, but from what I have read, water in the bottom of bag is BAD!
I just spawned a grain jar to a wood fuel pellet bag, and I thought it was to dry, but a few fellow Shroomerites have really helped me with this and THINK I have the mycellium spreading, as I see a few white spots, already!
Idk if your kit came with the substrate fully colonized, as a lot do, but standing  water is bad, and if fully colonized you should be able to dump out W/O worries of cont. as the mycellium has a firm hold on substrate I think! Even at that I have seen people spawn to substrate in open air w/o any problems! I hope I was of some help, just passing on what I have learned in here!

Try the edibles forum. They know what's up with Reishi.
