first grow. how did I do?
    #22085158 - 08/13/15 07:28 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

So I thought I'd grow mushrooms 2 years ago. At that time I didnt have pressure cooker so I thought I would use the microwave to disinfect. That didn't work out. Green gang arrived.

Fast forward to now. I still had the spore syringe for cubensis. Got a pressure cooked with gauge of kijiji. Vermiculite from before. Did brf cakes in 4 250ml jars.

Put em away for about a month fully colonized one started pinning in the jar. Fml.

I didn't want to do shotgun tek. I wanted to case. So got lime 10% vermiculite 40 and 60 peatmoss. Put in microwave for ~10mins measure temp let it get to 93c and left to cool.

Then made a mono tub (its the one with the polyfill right???) Broke up the brf cakes and cased em. White casing at the lil pins thinking nothing will happening was wrong.haha

Duct taped the holes sprayed water. Put plastic wrap on top. I think i put too much casing oh well. 4 days in seeing fuzz white on casing. So looks like WOrking.

So now don't bash me for using any terms wrong. Can I get some advice on how to optimize the process. What kind of spwan I should try next? Does rye or corn increase yield?

How much mushroom can I get from this ?


Update: so I didn't throw this out even tho I screwed up inlet it colonize. It got to a point where there was mycelium in some places it wasn't getting dully colonized. So i opened up the holes for the mono tub and poly filled. I saw a mushroom and quickly at it . No more mushrooms. I decided take some of the peat moss out and lo be hold pinning and growth. So it was not a total fail

cross your fingers for no contams. That isnt a very nutrious sub either lime doesnt go in the sub it goes in the casing shouldve done coir verm gypsum

I did put it in the casing of peat moss and verm. I used brown rice flower and verm for substrate. I guess next time I'll use coir gypsum and verm.

Can you advice on the ratio?

you are confused on the words spawn, substrate and casing.

your cakes are your spawn.
the peat moss have now become your substrate (the thing you mix your spawn with)
and a casing layer is a thin layer you DONT want to colonize on top of the bulk sub.

peat moss as a substrate isnt a good idea, peat moss isnt as easily colonized by the mycelium thats why its such a good casing layer material!

yea i guess i do have them confused.

So i took my spawn which was in BRF and Verm.
after inoculation i put it in the peat moss mixture. It became my substrate. So according to the above it should have been cococoir for substrate.

Finally i should have used the peatmoss to case.

Have i gotten the jist of it?

I followed this method to do everything http://www.fungifun.org/English/Casing

Also now that its kinda screwed up. Do you think that i will get any mushrooms or should i throw all of it out?

you got the jist of it alright!

Wait a microwave?  I don't have a PC either.  A PC isn't an absolute must. Idk any thing about spawn but stop blasting your substrate with radiation.

Ye microwave. I followed the tek. Should a did more research. As for the microwave we microwave our food to I don't think radiation has anything to do with it. Or maybe I am wrong. Anyways so what should I do now? I guess ill just wait and see what's happens. Bummer.

I wanna know one thing tho why can't we spawn in top soil? When the top soil is in a bag from the store it has no mold in It. why would the introduction of spores cause mold.  Or does musher require special food to grow?
