When it gets ropey like that, does that mean itโs searching for more nutes? Thought i read that before? Cool stuff you got going there โrRโ.

Yes, the mycelium is thick and aggressive in places. Some of the maple chunks are fist sized, that ought to keep them busy for a bit!

Since the wood is food, it does seem like some larger chunks should be mixed into a patch. Maybe some 2-3" diameter branches buried in with the chips would be a longer term food source and lessen the need to refresh your patch as often.

Thank you MoJim, these are in a bag for now, eventually going into a trashcan.

^ I see now why going to agar @ nothingschanged
And thx for the cool comments watching my culture expand
I find this culture is extremely ropey like this I've hand isolated chunks to get to this point. That pic is of spawn stuck to tub then covered with little bit of chips and cactus soil kept heavy moist. That tub is mean looking now. ๐ dreamy for me hahaha and now one fat pin in rear.
It's like a sandy river simulation I thought. One pin in a month after making it is not bad. Been fun to play with during winter indeed

That it is. I think my two tubs indoors are going out to the wood chips under my blueberry bushes. Ones pinning again but also con-tamed. Other is pretty done. One or 2 pins maybe? They had a good run. My plan would be just dump them on the snow covering the the chips that are underneath(fresh chips for the most part) then dress them up with some new chips once the snow melts. Just a layer on top for aesthetics mainly.
Right on. Thanks for letting me think out loud Friends.
SunnyDayze will be back in 5 weeks or so. Been trying to clean up one of her yellow oyster cultures that have been in the fridge for a few years. Oysters.

 Pics of my tiny 1"thick river sand simulation tub. It has a side pin now ALSO moving thru the sand (aiming down) but it's got nice brown cap it may poke out I hope
1st pin is looking good too ๐ I'm glad to watch this form pins before my eyes

I would like some opinions as to what wood to use for cyanescens...
I have Doug Fir (sawdust) Fuel Pellets, which has seemed to colonize fine with a quasi-pasteurization (boiling water poured into bags inside a cooler, allowed to sit at 160-170 for 2 hours) with Reishi and Oyster.
I also am getting Alder planer shavings, so fluffy, not sawdust, but good alder. I figure I'd have to sterilize this, so would a mix of Doug Fir sawdust and alder be very good?
It would be easier to quasi-pasteurize DFFP and colonize in XL filter patch bags, but these could also be sterilized if the Alder is worth it.
Then after there are spawn bags, I'm curious about how people like to do it in totes or contractor bags or some other way to get more wood to colonize inside before spawning outdoors in the spring.

I wouldn't worry much of the kind of wood you use u can do small tests to see wat yours likes then stick to that as much U can
Don't sterilize chips these shud be aggressive to take on much contamination from outdoors so just watch them crawl thru it

What Piggy said Sawdust overall isnโt the best, but it does work and a lot of patches have been made with it. It has its place. For making spawn I would try and find a good source of chips. I would avoid species like cedar juniper redwood and cypress, though I would never turn down a chip drop, Iโve got the space. Iโve done real well with pine and fir, but pretty much all your hardwoods would be a better choice. If you have a sawmill in your area that produces hardwood, they will be your best source for chips. Otherwise your limited to buying bagged mulch, smoker chip$, community chip piles, or chip drops.

I would never advise cruising a metropolitan area in Oregon (like the greater portland area) with a few five gallon buckets in your car, looking for the multitude of chip drop piles right on the street. I've certainly never pulled up and started shoveling maple, alder, or oak chips into the back of my truck or buckets.
Honestly as someone who has been on a fair number of tree crews, no home owner is ever prepared for what we bring them through chip drop (besides trout). They run outside with glee and greed in their sparkling eyes, which slowly turns to horror as they realize the exact space eating volume that 12 yards of chips is

You're probably doing them a favor.

OK woodchips are best, got it.
I was assuming it would be grain to sawdust spawn to woodchips... thank you all.
So would it be best to go from grain spawn to unsterilized wood chips, no sawdust involved? t I'm still curious about the colonization vessels at that point. I have lots of XL filter patch bags and plastic totes I could use. But unsterilized wood chips inside seems contaminant prone. I probably need to get over my affinity for sterilization for this; So after grain spawn, nothing should be sterilized or pasteurized is the consensus?
