Sweet! I am soaking some grains right now getting them ready for some reishi. I have two plates ready to go. Got some fuel pellets the other day. It doesn't it matter what kind of wood it is, as long as it is hard wood, right? I believe mine are hickory.
I have been searching for a good tek.
Back to THIS thread, I will be doing my second transfer on my GWM myc today. I can't wait to see it tear up some grain!

Maybe I should save this for the reishi thread but, reishi like coir as well. One of the two tubs I posted is half coir and verm, leftover from another project. Next I plan to do a tub of reishi with just coir.

I have a few ideas of what I would like to do with them but it's probably going to be a medley of different ideas and TEKS with the reishi, As far as the type of wood, beats me, I believe you're right but I'm sure there's some hardwood out there that's no good but of all the stuff that gets turned into pellets it's probably ok.
I'll transfer my creepers tomorrow probably. Sorry for going slow but the temperature doesn't help

Yep, they'll like any hard woods. They're pretty easy, just prep your grain spawn, same as usual, then spawn that to your pasteurized hardwood pellets and wait. Then you just fruit them in your sgfc or greenhouse. I'm really close to fruiting some, I'm so excited! I also just mixed up some grains and hardwood pellets in a pp5 container and sprayed some lc in there. It's working pretty good so far!

pasteurized my sawdust today spawned one quart to 2 and 1/4 cups sawdust pellets + 1 and 7/8 cups water. I pasteurized in quart ziplock bags which had 620g of prepared hardwood substrate and what was 110g of spawn per bag and it made 3 bags. I'm going to cut holes in the side of them and fruit one horizontal diagonal and vertical to see if it has a difference on the fruit bodies. I'll make a thread proper but this is to put my ideas down.

I am dropping out. Schedule conflicts will not allow me to go any farther with my cultures in any meaningful manner. I will be moving in 2 months a few states over for work. Taking a bunch of "things" like this on that sort of journey is asking for trouble. To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar.

Don't get down on yourself, grow along with us and we'll help you out!
 i've tried everything under the sun lately, started off a great year with some successfull pf jars and popcorn spawned to straw in trays, then i tried using my own spores which appeared to work well, spawned wbs to a mono tub and got verticillium mold
 so i went back a step and got some agar going, asked a q and anne had replied, didn't know any better that she was a trol who had convinced me that fert agar was awesome, it's not awesome and i waisted 5 weeks there, so i tried pp's no pour with regular lme and agar which was fun but again after 5 weeks or so i went to some grains prepped mr.horrigans style and again got nice clean colonization, prepped my coir via franks prep again and spawned to a 66 qt tub but fucked up with too much of a top layer, pinned before it colonized but i just left the pins there and tried to let it finish, got some penicillium mold for my efforts. thought about going back to cakes, picked up the perlite another tote and got my holes drilled and some jars(36) and the flour tinfoil just to find out verm is seasonal here and i couldn't even afford to order it, so i took everything back and decided to take one more shot at grains since i still had good growth on a petri dish but thought i'd make some transfers first, so i got a whack of agar ready to pc to come and find my gasket was blown and i had just waisted the last of my agar, so i just tossed it all out and had one whole dish to try work with and not fuck up, so i did 2 single qt's worth of wbs(had a new gasket by this point) and dropped a piece in each after they were cooked and cooled, the first one i did went off w/o a hitch but the next one i struggeled to get the wedge off the scalpel and it contaminated quickly, so this brings me to roughly a couple weeks ago when it was fully colonized and ready for a g2g, i had done enough to fill my pc(10qt's) but wasn't home when the time came to shut the pc off, didn't think it was a big deal that i had my roomate shut it off for me but whe ni looked the next morning they were a sticky solid fucking mess and i thought i was gonna break the jars trying to get the grains apart, after posting about it i said fuck it and just spawned my one jar to 3 qt's of sub(coir/verm) which colonized nicely, but within hours of fruiting it was swarmed with gnats, i had my window open because my place was hot as shit atm but fuck was i/am i ever mad! so there's my year in a nutshell and now i got no spores, no agar and a bunch of bugs in my house...hows your guys day going?
