Zig Zag Reishi Antlers - not going to get conks?
    #21124855 - 01/15/15 12:33 PM (9 years, 4 months ago)

Greetings All,

I've had a Reishi kit for a few weeks now - it seems like it wants to grow antlers instead of conks.  The day I received the kit, I cut open the bag and put in the included ventilated humidity tent - open it twice a day for mistings...anyway antlers formed....and they have kept on going - at their current length, not so sure I am going to get conks?

Since they are just going to get dried and ground up anyway - I figured I would do a quasi experiment - Put them on a window sill that gets good indirect light (with about 20 mins of direct sun in the morning) and rotate the block 180 degrees every week....looks like the Reishi likes sun and grows toward it everytime - after a few weeks I have "Zig Zag" antlers:



So in the event someone wants zig zag antlers instead of straight...there you go ;-)

since you took the top off they should form small conks at the top which I bet will look cool

You might be able to take it to the next level with artificial lighting - True 90 degree bends? Possible Geometric Shapes?  I imagine spirals would be possible (think spiral lucky bamboo shape) - just need to turn the block ever so slightly every day?  Since this particular strain of reishi (from everythingmushrooms....*cough*that never reply to my emails *cough*) seems to like light alot - one might be able to shine a bulb directly on it with an articulate necked lamp and do all sorts of crazy patterns?  Just some thoughts ;-)

i like the way you think!  i'm pretty sure roger rabbit posted a pic somewhere of a reishi spiral.  I think he rotated the block or bulb 90 degrees every day.  and then I think he challenged people to make a reishi tie itself into a knot!  that would be so f-ing cool.
