I honestly don't know, it was just labelled Lucidum ganoderma when i bought it.
Its been showing this growth everytime.
But i believe cloudy is some what right, cus they're getting more colour once i opened the tub a bit.
Still weird though cus most people still get really vibrant red color when they grow from bags.... And i'm growing this in a old hybrid shotgun FC, holes covered with micropore tape.
This is how they look after i kept the lid slightly open for a while

I haven't done the experiments myself, but from my understanding brighter lights will help induce more vivid colors. I have had limited lighting for my setups though so I cannot confirm.

I have a complicated system that blasts them with as much fresh air as possible while maintaining a high humidity and I can control it by changing the speed of the intake fan.

I designed it specifically for growing reishi but I suspect it will work real well with other species as well, especially those that have finicky air requirements.

Just keep in mind its a delicate ballance, a change in temperature will change the humidity in the air. It can be tricky. But as long as the humidity is still good they will be happy.

I can, light is used to trigger vitamin production, mostly vitamin D.

Excellent grow! I've been following since the beginning, and it really helps to see the transformations that reishi mycelium undergoes. It's an educational thread for a photogenic species.

I'm still reversing on Mrcloudy's advice. Based on my Golden oyster, which has the same reaction by the way. Best colour and taste is observed in a nutrient rich substrate with high 02, water and rich light.
All needed to produce and convert vitamins and nutrients, preventing deficiency.
There is high vitamin C and D present in edible mushrooms. Neither wood, grain or bran contain C or D.

Nice MrCloudy
Lighting most definitely helps with the vivid colors, the bags that have been closer to my lights have gotten far more vibrant than the others farther away,also better pin sets, I started moving the lights around now. They also grow towards the light like crazy
 You could see how they are zig zagging towards where ever the most light is at the time.
MrCloudy, is your fruiting chamber there designed to conk them?

Its designed so that I can adjust it as needed. So if I want antlers I reduce the airflow and if I want to conk I increase it.

I have also noticed that if the humidity is high enough it mimics low airflow. Probably because the water condenses on the mushroom and smothers it a bit.

Change in ratio of available O2 per cubic measurement. No different to adding a random inert gas.

Happy holidays everyone, updating today after moving all of my bags out of the lab and getting everything cleaned up in the shop for their new home. Everything is looking good and some bags have antlers reaching the filter patch.

So I got antsy and decided to open up a bag early so I could see what kind of weight I'm getting so far, make some tea and some tincture. And man, I couldn't tell just how beautiful these are through the bags until I opened one.





317 grams wet from that bag, got them dehydrating now so tomorrow I will have a dry weight and maybe a good estimate on what I might be getting all around. Thanks for reading guys, and happy holidays

Thanks guys I'm planning on doing a bunch of tincture and different things with this stuff, I think I will probably harvest the rest sometime after new year, this bag I harvested had a lot of juice left in it, I was just curious after watching them grow for so long. I'm gearing up for lions mane and shiitaki right now thanks to Quad

Thanks Myco, and especially for the culture And thanks for the Chuck Fearther
So the dried weight from that bag is 91 grams. Hopefully if I let the rest go past the new year I will be hitting a 1/4 lb. per bag like Gr0wer was getting.
Does anyone have a suggestion on making Reishi tea, how to prepare, how much to use and how long to boil?
