I got slime mold going on in my outdoor mulch. It's yellow and looks really cool but not so cool for my patch. I dug around it and disposed of it. Nothing you can do really. Just prepping my cocoa mulch for my ganoderma sessile. Now that I know oysters love it than this should love it too. It's pretty low maintenance and aggressive.

hamloaf said: Hi guys! The woodchips are for some fully colonized Azurescens & ghost fungus spawn. In about a week I'll have some pan stipticus to spawn to bulk. Anywho, for the ghost fungus I supplemented with about 10 % wheat straw & 5 % bran/spent coffee grounds (for nitrogen, because I don't have any green compost yet)/gypsum. The wood for the Azurescens simply only got about a 4 % gypsum supplementation. The woodchips are all loaded into bags, and in the sterilizer warming to temp. What do you all have going on today?
I knew it was gonna be awesome.
I'm gonna be making some transfers tonight.

Azurescens and ghost fungus! I just looked up ghost fungus. It's fun to see someone growing something just because it's fascinating. I suppose you can grow fungus just because it's pretty.

Yea, ghost fungus, and pan stipticus fruits look like oysters but glow in the dark. The pan stipticus's mycelium once it colonized the woodchips glows, as well. The ghost fungus's mycelium does not glow. If you make the PH of the substrate acidic (like a PH between 4-5) the mycelium will glow brighter.

"ProcrastiNATE", Hey, procrastiNATERS, UNITE! tomorrow, because tomorrow always sounds much better than today.
Nice, have some of those cyantampas about there. Also did something you're not supposed to do with Panaeolus. So far so good, but we're not out of the woods yet. Not doing anything tonight, except making a list, taking inventory, and sterilizing some wood chips. The last sterilizer run ends at 11:30pm here. Excited for the endevours that are right on the horizon.

I'm right there with you. Trying to get off forum not daredevil.
Just checked and only have 4 poured plates in the fridge. Looks like I'm only doing 4 transfers tonight. Also looks like pouring plates in on the agenda tomorrow.

Got some pan cyan spawn fully colonized so tomorrow or thursday I'm gonna spawn it to a few shoeboxes First go with pans so I'm excited!
@ham, I also have a fully colonized quart of pan stip that I'm gonna g2g in the coming days and try to do a little grow. Maybe we should make a thread in G&M specifically for bio-luminescent fungi so we can all document our grows. I gave away some cultures a couple weeks ago so I'm sure there are others that would be down to join in

Interesting. how do you plan on growing out your pan stipticus culture?

It's grown out on WBS right now, probably gonna g2g to whole wheat then to an oak sawdust and hardwood maple shavings mix. I've heard they like a slightly acidic ph so I may try to get citric acid or something to lower it then try to fruit in the greenhouse I'm building for my shiitake grow. I'm don't really have a set plan for these kinda flyin by the seat of my pants on this one
You know of any solid successful grows out there? To be honest I haven't fully done my homework on this one

OMG. I'm so fucking hot and smell like cocoa mulch. Time for a shower soon but first a rest. I got my four ganoderma sessille bags done. i was surprised at how easily the jars were to break apart still. It was just the outside edges of the grain that made these thick mycelium mats. I broke up the grain and peeled the thick mats off and put them in a jar for putting in my outside patch since they were going to be too messy to break apart. I buried little pieces everywhere. Seems I've been playing a fun game where I've been burying all kinds of wood lovers in my patch to see what pops up first. All kinds of surprises. I just have to remember to water everything tomorrow. Neighbors must wonder what the hell I'm doing out in the middle of the night burying stuff.
Tomorrow I have to be 100% good and do my agar work. Like absolutely positively needs to be done.

It's not so much that they prefer an acidic substrate; it's more that if an acidic substrate is provided for them, then they glow harder is all. That's a nice goal, though. A goal that is definitely worth giving a shot.
I plan on doing a few things a little different with the pan stipticus. First of all I am going to use a coniferous wood mix. Second, I am going to supplement it with about 5-10% spent coffee grounds (for nitrogen, and to get the PH to around about 5), a little bit of bran, and about 3% gypsum, plus vermiculite for some minerals, substrate structure, and water retention. Thirdly, and hold on to your self belts ladies, and gentlemen, after the susbtrate is hydrated it will be PASTEURIZED. Once the substrate it's cooled it will be inoculated with fully colonized grain spawn at a higher than average spawn to bulk ratio. I understand they are slow to fruit, so once colonized they'll either be fruited in the GH, or on an end table with a sheet of plastic placed over them to retain humidity.

Right on the cusp of a new myco life...Trying to throw together the rest of a new 2x4 hepa and bench...Should be done today..Can't sleep. Life might get easier now with spawn bags and space to work.
Really burnt out but hanging in there...Spawn bags...Spawn bags...

Crispy, life is so much easier working in front of a hepa. Especially with how you throw down. I hate using a SAB. The only time I use a SAB anymore is if I get sporulating mold on a germ plate.
