shroomboogy said: This is my first attempt at cultivation so please pardon my lack of proper record keeping. I often fly by the seat of my pants and this attempt at cultivating is no different. I'll try to do better the next go round.
So... From a mss of PE I inoculated liquid culture made of light Karo and sucanat @ approx. 4%. I know, I know LC's are notorious for contams but I had several experiments going on and experienced a few obvious contams in LC and rye berries. I pulled from what appeared to be clean(ish) LC jar. Clean based on assumptions from reading and viewing hundreds of pictures from this site.


I used the LC to inoculate 2 5lbs bags of rye berries. (approx 5 qts each?) One of the bags contamed with something black and hard. I let it ride out for a while and the myc started to take over but I wasn't willing to risk using so I dumped in my compost outside. Come to find out the bag had a hole hidden in a crease of the bag right at the spot of the contam. Led me to believe it was not my LC but the hole in the bag. Second bag moved along very nicely, in my limited and humble opinion. Fully colonized in about 2.5 weeks. Sorry, no pictures of those bags.
I used the one 5lbs bag to spawn 2 90qt tubs. Bulk substrate consists of, all approx. values, 6qts coir, 6 qts verm, 2 qts worm castings, 3/4 cup fresh coffee grounds, `1/4 cup gypsum. Brought to field capacity and pasteurized to an internal temp of 140 for 2 hours.
Spawned to bulk 3/28. In the tub pictured, I laid out approx. 3 inches of rinsed/hydrated perlite. With liner in place I added about 60% of the spawn with about 60% of the bulk sub in layers and then mixing. Added a thin layer of bulk sub on top. Total sub/spawn layer is about 3 inches. I used remaining spawn and bulk in second tub(no pics), without perlite, to a depth of about 2.5 inches.


So, based on what you might be able to see from these pics can I/should I put into fruiting conditions or wait for 100% colonization? I've read/seen pics similar where folks would wait and where folks would fruit. What say you?
By the way, when I opened my spawn I had no off smells whatsoever. The intense mushroom scent/umami was unbelievably amazing! I just kept sniffing and sniffing and sniffing! I was so excited.
Thanks in advance.
4/19 Update - A few pics as of today. Does the flush look a little light. Maybe second flush will be more?
