Whats going on with my monotub?!
    #21819503 - 06/17/15 03:43 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Pinning started ~3days ago, looking healthy but uneven pinset! Is this normal?!

I'm really unsure wtf I'm looking at.


Well except for the major bacteria.

Grody.

Please toss that and go do more research.

That is not healthy, I'm surprised it even attempted to pin

Bah! That's the bottom of my monotub. I've been fanning regularly and not over watering it. Just decided to check underneath the black garbage bag I have taped around the sides. There isn't a weird smell or anything coming from the tub. Just smells like fresh mushrooms!

Yeah no, that's not normal. Did you use straw as well?

Yeah I used straw. It's actually from a pre-made kit that was my girlfriends mothers. It didn't have any holes in the sides for FAE, so I've just been fanning it regularly.

I've since bought an entire 4 tier greenhouse setup along with all the proper gear, but I tried to get this kit to work while waiting for all the other stuff to arrive.

I should also mention that the kit was 6+ months old, and has quite a bit of yellow "myc piss" in the bottom of the spawn jars. Nevertheless, the spawn took to the straw pretty well, with no visible signs (or smells) of contam. I cased a bit less than 2 weeks ago and started exposing to light and fanning  at about 70% colonization of the casing. I got pinning about 3 days ago and the mushies actually look really healthy and strong.

Like I mentioned, no odor or visible contam on the surface.

Thanks for all the input so far everyone!

The straw was wayyyy too wet.

Ahh I thought I wrang it out enough. Since the spawn jars were so old and there was so much myc piss I think that there was a competing bacteria already present along with making the substrate wetter than it should have been. I'll definitely keep my substrate less saturated next time!

Only a handful of us have done straw tubs and there's reasons why. First straw is a pain in the ass if you don't have a setup for it, even then its a pain in the ass.

In a tub you have to have the moisture content exactly right as there's nowhere for it to pool or drain, you can't roll it like a straw log. There are several other reason but the point is don't start with it.

Yeah bacteria is already really bad when it starts getting light brown, that shit is turning black in some spots, that is BAD.

You might as well let it fruit and crab what you can from it OP. Get some good spore prints and start researching agar. The good thing about this hobby is that you can stretch a single spore print or culture as far as you'd like! :cheers:

I've got some agar and petri dishes already! Hoping to do exactly what you mentioned! I've got a big bail of hay and 40 pounds of horse poo and a big indoor greenhouse along with 40 pounds of WBS. Ready to get rolling!

Be careful using hay, as it is not the same as straw. Hay usually has grains in it and will contaminate even if pasteurized. Straw in the other hand, is a by product of grains such as oats and wheat. Straw does not contain grains. Try using coco coir. Its really hard to mess up with coir.

So you're going to self-promote because someone at one point thought you sucked and you expect good ratings to just trickle in?

Bah hell, lmfao.... that is seriously contaminate man.

And fanning doesn't equate to FAE... not even remotely.

My advice to you is do A LOT of reading, find a TEK and follow it exactly.
