Opinion Request: Newbie's P. allenii Agar to Bird Seed Grain
    #24000996 - 01/11/17 12:05 PM (7 years, 19 days ago)

I'm new to cultivation. This winter was my first season hunting for mushrooms.

A stem butt 5 gallon pot with soil on the bottom and 3 inches of wood ships was started.

Also, I started clone tissue (interior cap of a good-sized Psilocybe allenii; I'm not skilled at wielding a scalpel. This was the only area that I could extract tissue reasonably well) onto agar.

1 out of my 4 agar plates had rapid growth (2 inch diameter in 4.5 days). This agar plate sadly had contaminates, so the wedges were cut at a distance from any visible contaminate spots.

Could someone with more experience take a look at my wedges in the jars and provide any feedback?



My noob concern is that the mycelium is not very rhizomorphic... and I'm worried if this strain will even fruit.

Btw, I'm planning do a side-by-side comparison of stem-butt tek 5 gallon plant container vs. 2ft x 1ft container agar->grain->woodchip tek. :smile: Results will only be determined many months from now.

Thanks for any feedback from all!!

How long has it been since you dropped the wedges in?
They look good so far, don't really see any issues yet.
Nice super detailed pics btw, that's some grain porn right there :tongue:

Those pics were right after the wedges were moved over, and the lid sealed. So, not enough time for contamination to appear.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep this updated instead of disappearing into oblivion.

All tips, advice, corrections, etc welcome and appreciated.

4 days after the agar wedge is dropped in:


Anyone with experience, if you have any thoughts on the following:
1. My noob concern is that the mycelium is not very rhizomorphic, and I'm worried if this strain will even fruit.
2. Are the final containers that I'm using 5 gallon pot (approximately 1 foot in diameter), and 2 x 1 foot container large enough for mycelium to fruit? I just have a small balcony to work with.
3. Any opinions on the look of my progress is greatly appreciated.

I'm afraid those jars are contaminated with cobweb mold :frown:

Really? I read that cobweb mold is really fast-growing, and that growth occurred consistently over 4 days.

I restarted.

Clone tissue agar (Psilocybe allenii) with 1 isolation move. The agar was transferred to 3 bird seed and wood chip jars (90% bird seed, 10% Scott's naturescapes) about 9-10 days ago.



I think it's colonizing kind of slow... I think it has to do with my agar being really thickly poured or grain being too dry.

First time I did this, I think my grain was far too wet.

Does this look alright?
