Am I doing this wrong (Case grow with coir)
    #23410135 - 07/04/16 11:57 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Hey Shroomery,

A week ago or so, I made an ultra-low-budget attempt at a grow case. I cut a spent cake into many small pieces, and buried them in about 2 1/2 inches of moist coir, in a big container with four 2 inch holes. I used cotton balls to cover up the holes and allow air out without letting dust and large contaminants in (don't figure it kept small particles out), since I couldn't afford any kind of microfilament filter to cover them with.

After being covered with a big quilt for a week in total darkness, I opened the container and saw that the mycelium seemed to be doing pretty good. However, I know almost nothing about case grows, so I don't know if this is what it looks like when it's going well, if there's any problems, how to fix them, etc. Can you guys take a look and tell me if it's all going okay, and what I need to do if it's not?

The info you are reading is old enough to have Alzheimer's... Cotton balls are a terrible idea... Cut open a teddy bear and get the poly out, take the quilt off because light is beneficial to myc at all stages...

What exactly is a "Case Grow" anyways....

Hadn't ever seen that term until today... :shrug:

Back in the dark ages of mycology people called bulk trays casings for some reason...
