I don't know i read up on it somewhere and it worked for them so I thought why not? Also this is my first grow so I'm still learning the ropes through trial and error. But I will take your advice and remove the cardboard tomorrow. I'll let it sit in the tote with the lid off inside a larger tote with the lid on if that's a better idea? Like I said I'm still learning. These pics were taken today 8 weeks from spores. Let me know what I can do to improve this grow. Cheers

Just one tote. Lid on. What kind of tape is on your holes?

Definitely lose the cardboard box. I usually do cakes but when I do casing I use a smaller tub set inside a larger tub with polyfill in the holes of the larger tub. Do to my travel for work I have a fish tank air pump and my lights on timers. One line from the air pump, with a stone filter attached, is put in a jar of water and peroxide 50/50 mix, placed in the larger tub to aid in keeping the cakes and casing layer moist and aids in gas exchange. My yields are pretty good this way.
I also grow magic truffles as they are definitely less work and work just as well!

You shouldn't need to be fanning it or spraying it as a monotub that is properly tuned in should cover than for you. The lighting schedule is fine 12 hours on 12 off, however if you have the tub in fruiting conditions (which i don't think you should until the top is completely colonized) then you need to take off the tape and fill the holes with polyfill. But like i said, one of the bigger triggers for pinning is a completely colonized substrate, so I would wait before exposing it to fruiting conditions. Also remove the box and do everything else that was said before this

Micropore Tape, and ok box will be removed today.ill keep the light schedule and leave it to colonize further before I put it into fruiting conditions. I will stop fanning and misting and leave it be for another week or two then swap tape to polyfill. Thanks for your help. Also with the heating situation. On its own it's at around 19-20 degrees C but with the heating underneath its about 22-23 degrees C. Should I keep that going? It's cold this time of year in the UK not sure where you are based but room temp is alot lower this time of year. I thought about a heating mat but I don't trust it on all day when I leave the house.

Thanks for the advice. I've always wanted to grow truffles since I tried them in Dam 😂. How much easier are they to grow? Being in the UK I am very paranoid a out parcels being stopped by HMRC in the post if I order stuff from the Netherlands.

Yup, you see the mycelium reaching up into the air right? That's it trying to escape to a place with more FAE.

Personally I think fresh mushrooms taste really good compared to dried mushrooms or truffles. But truffles are still really cool, and the story behind P. tampanensis is fascinating too.

Ecuadorian cubensis is awesome, I really like that variety of cubensis. Very visual. I wouldn't worry too much about low temperature, but maybe someone else knows more about that.

I will read about the discovery tonight lol. And do you really think temp is not a big deal? Hmm... So just the tote with a light schedule is all I need until fruiting conditions? In that case I will just allow FAE and occasional misting until I see pins. Thanks!

Everything looks fine. As others have stated, no need for the box. No need for multiple totes. You are cutting off FAE which is a needed to trigger pinning. I don't even think you need to let it colonize much longer...maybe just a few days at most. You could just tape or polyfill your holes and let it do it's thing.

Ok so here are some updated images of what I have done. Removed the box. Removed the heating, kept the light. Left tub in a baking tray (for stability) as it is sat on a shelf now. I cracked the lid slightly (half an inch) to allow for FAE. The black tape on the side as you can see happened right back at the beginning when I drilled my holes I cracked the tub. It split. So I taped it both sides with duct tape haha. But other than that I can see growth already since yesterday's uploaded pictures. See below.

Micropore tape is used for fruiting conditions just as polyfil is. You're supposed to colonize with air tight tape. Then replace with something that breathes. Your tub is already on fruiting conditions which is fine. People fruit at spawning all the time

This story is out of date. We now know tampanensis is the same as galindoi (psilocybe atlantis) so it technically has been found more than once.  And everyone who has been growing psilocybe galindoi has actually been growing tampanensis.

Cool story though.

Ok so i didnt know this. I must have misinterpreted some information along the way as everything ive seen and read online, the polyfill or microtape is used from the beginning for pinning and for fruiting. This is my first grow so im expecting mistakes, hell im even happy that i got this far :eek: ... So i think ill just sit back and wait and see what happens.

Ive taken yours and other peoples comments on board and adjusted my set up accordingly. Whats next for me then? Once i start seeing pins? or do i just leave them alone? Sorry for the newb questions but you are doing a great job helping me out. Cheers!!
