Leaving for 2 days.
    #23950836 - 12/23/16 04:19 AM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Halo guys. New here. I am planning to leave for 2 days. I have a grow kit with a grow bag. I bought them just to learn and get a feeling for seeing mushroom grow first before making my own tek. It is a wonderfull feeling by the way

Anyway is it okay if I leave the grow bag open for 2 days when I am away ? To let the mushroom breathe. It is already pinning nicely.

Thank you for your attention and your answer.

Leaving it open for 2 days runs a high risk of your kit drying out. I wouldn't suggest it. My experience with kits is limited. Maybe try placing it in a bigger tote container on some perlite, it should have enough fresh air for 2 days that way

How does it FEA ?

Is there a filter patch on top? do you open it a few times a day ?

Assuming there isn't any type of way it gets FEA other than you opening it. I would cut two holes, one on top one twords your sub. Then put a peice of micropore tape over them.

Through the small gaps between the lip of the lid and the lid itself. The area of the kit in comparison to the area of the tote would keep CO2 lvls at bay, at least for 2days. That was my suggestion and reasoning.

Constructing a SGFC would be the most ideal situation but the OP gave me the impression that knowledge is limited and OP's time is pressed so I thought of something quick :shrug:

Lol I'd take a pen and stab quite a few holes and forget the micropore tape..

That would have extra FAE and shouldn't dry shit out too much.

Left already there is enough hole for FAE I guess and I also mist it enough hopefully. Going to update here as soon as I got back.

Why shouldn't I worry about the micropore tape by the way ? Is it because they are not so fragile anymore when they already in a fruiting stage ?

Colonized substrate is a lot tougher and resistant as it's settled mycelium. Mycelium is vulnerable when in the process of colonizing because it's a turf war and a race between the mycelium and the nasties that managed to stay alive. PCing widens that window and gives the mycelium a boost at succession

You don't have to be so clean and ''sterile'' now that it's fruiting, however this doesn't allow you to be careless either

Goodluck on your endeavor

Hope you come home to some nice looking shroomies!! :shineon:

Coming back to a very nice looking shroomies. One even has a broken veil. Should I harvest the one with a broken veil earlier ? Or wait until there is more of them ?

They kinda have a fuzzy feet though. Planning to put a fan next to the kit for the next flush to increase FAE.



Thank you for your support guys !!

If they are fruiting then conditions are optimum and you should leave them as is and continue to do what you're doing. I wouldn't use a fan as it might dry up the sub of the kit, too much FAE is not good and if they are fruiting there is enough FAE

This question on when to harvest has sprouted discussion that never end :lol:

IMHO I would harvest as soon as the veils breaks to prevent spore drop and making a mess. Fuzziness around the base of the stipe is normal and it's just mycelium, nothing to worry about

Glad to hear you came back to a good harvest :super:

Merry Christmas

Hey thank you man for taking the time looking at my thread and answering to questions. Really appreciate it.

I am thinking about putting it in front of fan for a while and then putting it in the silica gel chamber for drying. Is it okay ?

https://www.shroomery.org/11271/Silica-Gel-Chamber

Something like that. What are your thoughts on it ?

Oh and how long could a fresh mushroom be good for ? Does it have the same shelf life like say champignons ? And where should i store it if i want to keep it fresh ?

Happy flying agaric day to you too. Merry christmas !!!

Fresh mushies are usually good for about a week in the fridge. Keep them in a brown paper bag so they can breath a little instead of turning into goo.

Instead of fans and silica gel chambers, hunt down a dehydrator. It's days faster (which means you'll lose fewer actives during the drying process), and you don't have to worry about mushrooms blowing all over the place. It's one of the best investments you'll make in this hobby if you want to store shrooms for later. Mushboy has a good thread on the results of drying your mushrooms in a dehydrator for various times, and does a good job of explaining why it's recommended to dry them for 24 hours in a dehydrator.

:whathesaid:

Especially when you have ounces at a time to dry, dehydrators are the way to go.
Looks great btw but you could use some more fae.  Just poke a few more holes in it a little lower this time

Planning too. Dont have the money yet. Can only afford silica gel chamber at this point. Going to check out mushboy thread.

Ya was thinking about adding more FAE. So fan could dry them out and it is better if I poke more hole for the next flush ?

Poke more holes under the ones you have and forget about the fan.  Crack open a window or something if it's not subzero where you are

I know that feel. Another option that works very quickly is to have your oven on a very low setting with the door open and a fan blowing in. Basically a giant homemade dehydrator.

Try checking at thrift shops like Goodwill and Salvation Army. I've seen dehydrators for $5 there. In the meantime, if you're set on fans+silica, it will work. It'll just take extra time.

Somehow found a very cheap dehydrator on the local flea market forum. Bought it today. Man is the universe great :smile:.

Just harvest my first flush today. I got around 180 gram wet for the first flush :laugh: :laugh: Some side pin and I kinda pulled some grain with mushroom but it is good.

The grow kit now goes into soaking for 12 Hours correct ? To rehiydrate the mycelium ?

Where do you guys throw the used subrate and small abort pins ? Just dump it in the compos thrash ?

This is so coool. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Thank you guys.
