Reishi BE
    #23838278 - 11/16/16 10:04 AM (7 years, 2 months ago)

From what i've read on the net, usual BE is around 10% for reishi (and it's in line with my own grow)

But i seen several post here that make me think some of you get better than that.

And probably many more i did not see.

Ofc i don't know what amount of sub those mono contained hard to guess the real BE,
so if any of the person above want to chime in and give some info about the BE they got, that's cool!

10% may be close. I didn't weigh substrate or wet weight of mushrooms. Sorry

Yea i was getting around 10% dry reishi using the dry substrate weight as the other factor.

2.5 lbs dry sub per invorto bag would yield me around 110-130g dry.

Hope you don't mind me asking a ? In your thread chk..

Grower do you have a link to your invitro reishi grow? If not can you provide some details? I have a nice reishi culture I was gifted and was thinking of invitro

I remember that post, the 10w LED's I got work perfectly by the way.
Much richer yellow colour, due to a combination of things.

I am still tempted to try a mixed spectrum.

2g makes about 1oz tincture which lasts 1-2 weeks-Grower

I was thinking that if you have a 1:1 tincture and dosage was 3 gram daily you would take 3 gram tincture. What am  missing or not understanding?

Ok so you have 5Lbs bags
we can imagine half of that is moisture?
1250 gr dry sub

then you expect at most 150gr dry by bag
let's say reishi is 80% water that would be 750g wet

that would give around 60% BE

seems a lot above usual numbers
Did i got that right?

Reishi are tough and well they just aren't anything like other mushrooms. Moisture of the mushroom is much lower. I'm talking antlers perhaps conks are higher moisture.

He is nearly right: "Fresh reishi contains only about 75% water" -- US Source

Most mushrooms including oysters are in the 90% water content range.
75% is lower than most common mushroom formations.

I've found reference that someone had a grow of conks and they were 66% moisture. You have to remember there are a lot of variables. My antlers were hardly growing  anymore and my substrate was pretty dry. There wasn't that much moisture in them when harvested. Had to saw them off the block.

with 75% water that would be 600g wet mushroom 600/1250 or 48% BE
still quite a lot above usual numbers.
Event 30% BE would still be really nice IMO

@Quadman, I agree with variables, but consider this, if you have 200g of water in a substrate.
And a fruit body wants 400g (90%), it will suck up the 200g, and abort, sub goes dry.

@Chk, Indeed Reishi yield is interesting.

I'm basing off my personal observations and of others. Many numbers are a guide and not necessarily real life. This is one reason this forum exists. Just because a sub has x amount of water does not define a grow, you can add water. Which I did.

Yes ofc i get that.

i'll maybe sound like an heretic , but i have something in my mind for quite some time about BE:

i understand why we use fresh mushroom mass vs dry sub mass to compute BE,
BUT for mushrooms at least would it not make more sens to use dry vs dry.

i mean, as you just said, that anyway you can add water,  and from a efficiency point of view, what matters is the dry substrate mass you used.

IMO it's a bit misleading to include water in the formula, i mean, it could make it sounds like a grow is bad or good, but maybe it's just the grower that is.

Shouldn't it be replaced by DBE (Dry BE, let's call it that way)  ?

I agree, 100% BE from 100g dry substrate would mean 100g dry mushrooms.

100g + 300g (75% body standard) = 400g fresh mushrooms @ 100% BE.
100g + 900g (90% body standard) = 1kg fresh mushrooms @ 100% BE.

Both give me 100g dry in total yield.

That would make the most sense. The problem becomes everyone willing to dry mushrooms to find the dry matter. Reishi works because it is almost always dried.

yes i got some spores from the hawk eye (and i have to say it was problematic to get those to germinate), i doubt it's what you're searching for sadly.

My collection of edible is tiny compared to actives.

Lots of water and solubles. Should active germination as normal. Good luck also  :thumbup:
Golden oyster spores on T-Tek, 88% water content, after 2.8 days, enjoy.

i dipped the spores in 1/10th milliliter of H2o2 before germinating on agar (to weaken the spore double membrane)
took me 10 plates to have one to give something (maybe unlucky i don't know)
