Is this mycelium?
    #21767869 - 06/05/15 09:57 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hi,

from what you can see on this picture, would you say that's mycelium?


I have some azurescens mycelium in this box and what you see on the picture grew just like overnight. It's clear white, but I just wonder how it could grow like this in 12-18 hours.
Or could it be anything unwanted? In the box its wood chips with like 1cm soil on it

Bye,
Mr.Brain

Looks like mycelium to me. Once mycelium gets going, it will actually grow quite quickly.

Ok, nice :smile:
I'm trying to get them to pin in an incubator, worked out pretty well for cubes (37g dried in 1 flush in such a box). So I'm interested if I get to grow azurescens in there :smile:
This was my last cube result in incubator:

Can you explain a little more? An incubator for azurescens?! What's the temperature? I get what you want to do, something new or something fun, but you should do some more research on azurescens. They don't grow anywhere near cubes. If you want a successful grow they need LOTS of air and cold temps.

Besides cubes are a weed mushroom. Very easy to grow. I would have moved up to pans or stones, which grow in the same conditions as cubes..

The cubes were a totally different run, but after seeing how good this was working out, I decided to try azurescens ^^
Temp is atm 22-24°C and later I will drop it to around ~10°C
It's an Exoterra Incubator (for reptile eggs etc) with a plastic front door, temp range from something like 0 - 40°C
I open the bags once per day and spray some water on the surface like every 2 to 3 days, whenever it seems dry.
The wood chips were soaked for a few hours in cooking water.

€dit:
Oh and I didn't have to start from spores or something like that, I managed to get clean mycelium before :smile:

That's cool :smile: I wanted to try using my cold room or a modified fridge/freezer one day for fun. They need lots of fae. Humidity isn't as much of a big deal for these guys so you need to get more air to them. Remember there's never too much air. You're trying to mimic an outdoor climate in the Washington area during fall.

The incubator has a vent with 2 speed steps, of course reptile eggs also need some air :smile:

You gotta post a link to the incubator and pics if it actually works out for you. Indoor cultivation of azures is very hard and unheard of. Even a few fruits is a success to most on this site, when it comes to azures.

This is the product I'm using.
atm I have my two boxes in such filter bags with a sticker on them for air exchange. Are those stickers enough in general for the air exchange?
Here a pic how the box looks now.


€dit:
here is a larger picture, looks a little bit "slimy", still normal? :laugh:

Seriously hard to tell...

It sure is bright.

Either kick ass cube mycelium or.... not going to jinx you... lamao.

You will know very soon, within, a couple days I would say.

Good luck!

This creepy shit was wandering around in the box, almost seemed like it tried to escape out of that box xD
When I closed the lid, it turned black and died ... Whatever this was ... it's disposed ^^

That's good...

I was referring to possibly having trichoderma in my previous post.

A lot of time it will start out very bright white.
Even brighter than cube mycelium.

Then when it sporulates it turns green. It's some nasty shit and if you open a sporulated container indoors it can ruin your grow area for months.

How did you inoculate your box/bag?

Was it from a print, and was it a wild print or ... ?

That MYC looks odd to me, but I've never cultivated Cyans/Azures inside, only picked them outside.
