Hey mang, I've been working with tamps and galindoi since the summer I have about 25 jars going atm. I haven't frooted any yet but I've been spawning the jars once I've harvested them to coir.

I usually get 1-2x the weight of what was in the jar from the tubs so I'd say it's worth harvesting from the jar and then spawning.



I'm going to try and froot these though. Only thing is idk if they will as I've been selecting myc for stones and cloning stones too


I've 3 bags going atm (this is straw & coir) it's about a month and a half now and there's some big looking Bois poking at the sides so I'm hoping by Christmas I'll have a decent wee harvest.

Straw and coir? Yes, just the same way you do for cubes. Pour boiling water over and leave it to cool. I might have soaked the straw separately from the coir though I cant actually remember, but either way it's not sterile.

So Finally go the bits to do a sand casing

97.34% colonised(already cased with coir which its feed on already)



Ingredients for casing



Mixed together 50:50 about 4 cups here.  1 gram of lime per cup. Mixed into an amount of water under what I think FC will be.



Substrate cased 1/4 inch thick







Place back in my oversizes tub.  Still not sure what im doing with this.



Made a LC tonight to get ready for 10 bags of stones to be stored for when I travel.......

Should I store them in the dark is the question?

Update the shoeboxes are looking good and showing signs of stones plus surface is colonised enough to fruit.  Ive left two in the comedy mono tub and one in my standard mono tubs to compare notes.



LC is showing signs of life

2 bags of grains, 1 rye and one millet are almost colonised and still unsure whether to put in the dark or not.  Best plan is to split them but unfortunately they are not the same grains so wouldn't give a true reading.

As stones grow under the surface, do they push the surface up as I am getting boulders pushing up

Yeah dude, one of mines is. It's never going to fruit there is zero colonization of the casing but a stone is pushing up through it

Yeah they do, sometimes break through the surface as well. Normally after they’ve fruited ime. I’ve never had it between casing and getting fruits.

Edit: also in the tubs that didn’t fruit, there’s been many lol.

You can leave them for months if they don’t show signs of contams. I’ve had some fairly good size stones from tubs left for 2-3 months.



This was from a cloned stone culture that won’t fruit for shit but does make the odd large stone in the sub if left for a bit.
