Is it necessary to cut the bags? I seem to recall reading that if if you keep the temps low >200F the bags will last 5-6 times?

I guess i could open the top and peel it back for later re use. Yea i've heard even with PCing you can get 3 or so cycles out of them.

Cased with coir/verm, should have made more as i barely covered the substrate. Ill let them colonize some of the casing for a few days until i have room in my martha to fruit.

I don't intend on profiting from its distribution. The property is Paul Stamets' and not my own.

Just type "Growing gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms PDF" into google and multiple sources offer the entire book in PDF form absolutely free.

The last page he talks about slicing the bags 3-4" above substrate level to create the perfect microclimate for fruiting.

you don't have to case if you can keep the humidity fogged.  better yet to let the bags 'ripen' a few weeks, cold shock, and let them pin in the bag.  then cut the tops off the bags if you're going for a trumpet shape.

Thanks for the pointers drake. Glad i didn't cut the bags open yet.  I'll place them outside later this week, the nights have been down in the 50s lately. I should be able to fog my grow chamber, especially once i get the pinks out of there and into my grow room.

Casing is 1/2 colonized. One bag has two spots where the myc is popping through the casing. I just have paperclips on the folded over ends so hopefully the FAE, cold shock tonight, and lighting will induce some invitro pins. All the bags are solid white now.

You just leave them out for a day or how long.

I've just started trying kings, that's why so many questions. I love all the info I get from this site. I have some pinning now, but I didn't really know what I did. They took forever to start pinning and I had them in the garage. I know the temperature here has fluctuated wildly lately.

i dunno.  if you can keep them around 60 that's ideal.  around 50 and they take forever to grow.  closer to 70 and they'll grow hollow stems.  not to mention you'll have flies and bacteria to deal with.

I have the 5 king bags sitting outside tonight for a cold shock. I also mixed up 3 more bags with lime and just warm water. I also used 2 quarts spawn vs 1. I made a solution of 60g lime in 4 gal 100F water. Bags are made as follows,

1800g pellets
  200g wheat bran ~10%
  100g gypsum ~5%
2200g 100F lime water
      2 quart jars of milo spawn king oyster storebought clone

I stole the lime water solution idea from aleon, makes for a much better distribution of lime. If i have high contams ill add the heat back in and do a heat and lime pasteurization. If all else fails i can fall back on my AA941.
