Well, after being put together in... early January I think (it's mid-March now), if I dare to go away for two days, Idiot Tub still produces.

Bear mind mind that's just busted up scrap BRF cakes (1 pint total) with a plain verm casing. Fan and mist about once every 3 days. No fresh air otherwise. I have no idea how it's still going.
Rye has been... disappointing, even when inoculated with liquid culture. It might just be taking a while, or I might have screwed up my rye. Going to do a grain-to-grain transfer to it tonight to find out the easy way.

Did you ever have a little bit of leftover pasteurized straw and some disused chunk of BRF cake and a cheese grater? If so, did you decide to do possibly the stupidest thing ever with it?

Because I did.
If this works I'm going to laugh until I literally die.
(Ask me about hand-cutting wet straw to fit in that small-ass bag. There actually are layers, I swear, but you can't tell from that side.)

This has been a fun read! Excited to see what happens with your next experiment.

Love your post. Probably one of the better ones I've read in awhile. Keep it going!

Well that... actually worked.

It's pretty much fully colonized and the mycelium is super aggressive. It's attempting to get out through the zip seal. I guess I'll just cut a slit in the top and throw it in a SGFC and see what happens? I honestly wasn't expecting it to work.

So the larger straw bag (not that large, 1/2 gallon) was barely fully colonized and started pinning in the bag, so I basically just slashed an X in it (yes I sterilized the blade) and threw it in a SGFC. I guess we'll see what happens? I hope I didn't fuck it up. I guess I'll know by tomorrow.

Huh, well I guess that worked. Pinning on the tiny bag. This can't weigh much more than a 1/4 pint BRF cake, we'll see what kind of hilarious "yield" I end up with. Higher hopes for the larger bag. Also have a hundred actual filter patch bags on the way (mostly for edibles but still.)

Well, I'm sold on straw.

Those two, which just happened to be the first two pins on that (no more since then, they were just early) were a combined 59 wet grams.
edit: they don't look big, but compare my thumb to the width of the stem, and consider my thumb is closer to the camera

The straw bags produced a few nice fruits but were pretty meh. Probably due to horrendous fungus gnat infestation. Luckily I'm also moving right now, so I'll just not bring those with me I think. It was a fun experiment. Plus I have two more that are just about fully colonized.
The straw tub, however, the 5.5-gal one... took the plastic off and gave it some air the other day, cutting it a skylight in the lid tonight. I'm almost afraid of how much it's pinning.

Well this is progressing nicely.

I also have two small straw bags that are fully colonized - SGFC? The last one didn't work super well but I think the damn fungus gnats were more to blame for that.
