 Thanks for that info cloudy. Hey what is your experience with conking them from antlers? In GGMM stamets says you lose the ability to conk them after the antlers are 4 inches. Do you think I might still be able to fruit some of those in the chamber? I was also thing about maybe poking holes in some of the bags.

I'd say that's not particularly true...

Though this is a wild specimen.
I haven't really had too much success with getting nice conks to form myself, but that's partially a side effect of me trying to grow as many different species at a time and finding a sweet spot that keeps everything growing. I am thinking of making some bags of something like G.curtisii and putting them outside come spring. I am mostly happy if I just get some pores to form so I can harvest spores for study.

So I have not updated this thread for a while, I harvested about half of my bags in January and got super busy and the other half, about 50 of them, have been sitting in my shed with no light and shaky temps for almost 3 months So alot of these bags have been going for 5+ months, and they look great!(to me). They stopped growing after a while it seems and just got fatter. I am going to take some pictures tonight and update while I am harvesting, which is gonna take a little time, I only have 2 dehydrators. Have any of you grown out Reishi that long?

Opened up 15 bags tonight, went to town on photos



I did have a few bags where the antlers had some white powdery stuff on them Have you guys seen this? They were sticky like spores but white and not yellowish brown like the rest of the spores.

Hope it's not a big deal I'm gonna harvest a bunch more bags in the morning, I think my dehydrators are gonna be full tonight

Just when I think I'm getting the hang of something I see success like your "neglected bags" and then I realized what I hack I am! Damn nice work Marty.

 Thanks guys!!! Hopefully this will help people out who try the same technique, maybe if I get time I can write it into a simple tek based around a smaller amount of bags.

Yes and Yes. Are they warmer weather? We just had a few days in the 90's here why did I move to the desert from southern california? Oh Yeah, Woody Guthrie said it best,
"You want to buy you a home or a farm, that can't deal nobody harm, Or take your vacation by the mountains or sea. Don't swap your old cow for a car, you better stay right where you are, Better take this little tip from me." If you ain't got the do re mi, boys, you ain't got the do re mi, Why, you better go back to beautiful Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee. California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see; But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot If you ain't got the do re mi."

69.8-80.6 °F, should be alright slightly higher. Pleurotus eunosmus (Tarragon Oyster). Its a variation of Pleurotus cornucopiae (Branched Oyster), not P. ostreatus.
It’s smell and taste resembles the herb tarragon, its unique and rare.

Beautiful pics, Marty! You should start selling the antlers as art to Asian museums. 
Not sure about the white stuff, but I heard it was common to briefly sterilize dried reishi? Anyway, I'd like to try growing them this summer. Please do write a tek.

Thanks Andy, I need to find an Asian museum
I wonder how one would go about sterilizing dry reishi?

Now that you ask, I can't remember where I heard that. Site search doesn't help. Maybe a fluke of the memory or some confusion with the canned reishi tea thread?
It's probably just bullshit. I'll work out something real re: growing it later. Went from to full capacity in a week thanks to several good people.
