I barrowed one from a family member, so I didn't really have a choice. It's a 23qt Presto. Works just fine for me.

I was making due with a 18qt presto up until a few weeks ago. Cant beat the value. Your kings are looking real good. And that's in some sort of SGFC? I noticed you don't have any damp perlite in the bottom? That's typically how SGFC keep there RH stable.

No pearlite. They don't seem to mind the fluctuation between 75-99 in humidity. Just one less thing to worry about. I set up a small fan a few days ago to run for 10 minutes every 4 hours. I think they like it.

Since I dropped the temps to 55-59 and put the fan in the room, they really look better. Seems they really appreciate the air movement.

I took some tissue from one of the few early fruits that grew, and made this LC from agar plates. Not to bad so far for my first LC. Of course it could still go bad, but I sure hope not.

I guess supplementing does work. Finally got something worthwhile off of one of the supplemented bags. Used Lipa's tek on it.

Another 5.2oz off the same bag. That makes 18.3oz off this bag. If I did my calculations correctly, I got 27% yield off this bag altogether so far. Here's the ingredients:
3lb fuel pellets 4oz wheat bran 16 oz grain spawn
I can't say for sure if my success with this bag is due to supplementing, but it sure looks that way. I only had 4oz of wheat bran in that bag. I just made a golden oyster bag about a week ago, with 8oz. I sure hope it produces as well as this bag!

Looks good! I saw the same contamination rates with 10% bran lipa bags as no bran. 20% bran is another story...

I thought maybe this bag was done, but looks like I'll get a few more. Would be great if I could get another 5 or 6 more oz off it.

And yet a few more from this block. I'll have to see how light it is, and maybe try to soak it. Maybe I can squeeze out even more out of this block!

All in all I'd say you were well rewarded in that grow. I didn't take any pix (shame on me!) but I had two blocks of Black Poplar on 25% supplemented wood pellets and I ended up with more mushrooms than my wife and I could possibly consume, right before Xmas. Had some serious bunches of monster-sized shrooms, mostly around the edges of the cut bags, but one giant cluster appeared dead-center on one block. Probably weighed more than 400 grams all by itself...
Waiting now on the second flush.

Considering it was just an experiment, I did really good. Now that I'm able to PC my substrate, I should do as good, or better. Love kings! Very meaty and tasty! I have pioppino growing out on plates now. I might have to do a bag of those soon. I think I read somewhere that they will grow right in the closed bag. That would be pretty cool.

Nice cluster jim! I've been getting nice flushes off my lipa bags as well. I tried dunking a few of bags for a 3rd flush and it was pathetic, hopefully you will see better results dunking then i did. I just filled each bag with water upto the casing, soaked overnight, then drained.

I know that this should probably go in the cooking forum or whatever it's called, but I wanted to put it here because this is where the mushrooms came from. Sliced, battered with homemade tempura, and fried till beautifully brown and crispy. They were awesome!
