Actually the Amazonian, the bottom dark spot turned all green on me, about the size of a fist. I cut out a third of the box just to be safe and threw it outside just to see what happens. The JMF’s I haven’t been impressed with. It’s a grayish white at the moment as opposed to the super white Amazonians and PE. I think I’m gonna take it out of rotation next go around. Even the agar dishes. I’m on transfer number four and it still hasn’t displayed anything special.
Does the casing, specifically with PE, make a huge difference? Appreciate the help man

Yeah My first round with PE I made three shoeboxes, and cased two of them.
This how they came out, the two cased looked the same.

The uncased one was so bad I tried adding casing to half but it didn’t help.
They were all ms, both cased ones put out about 380g and the uncased one was like 25 of little blobs.
What’s jmf? Never heard of it.

Jedi mind fuck. I asked the guy the lineage, but he didn’t know. I thought it was just a flashy name to help it move but googling it, it is listed on a few spore sites. All that aside, I’m having a hell of a time cleaning it up.

Got bored so I wanted to experiment with outdoor just to see. I ended up using two bags of black kow manure. Which is just about 30 quarts per bag (1 cubic foot). 15 quarts of verm. And an 11lb brick of coir. So that’s about 72 quarts. I used 9 quarts of spawn (3 Amazonians, 1 JMF, and 5 penis envys). These were extra jars I had lying around Incase I needed it. This puts me at a roughly 1/15 or 1/16 ratio. Don’t really have any expectations here, just wanna see what happens.

Did you mix all the strains or try and keep them somewhat separated?

Totally mixed them. I have another spot. These were all the slow colonizers. I haven’t read much into the creation of strains, but do they grow into their respective strain or can they cross into a new one? Either way I wanted to get this out of the way because I’d like to dump all my spent substrate into the pile once it’s done. I’m pretty excited to see if there’s any similarities or differences compared to the indoor method.
The black sheeting is covering everything since we’ve been getting a decent bit of rain here. I don’t wanna flood the substrate too much.

So I threw all of the tubs (12) into fruiting conditions. I also just received my micro spore tape so I subbed that out for the poly fill. One of my tubs has green mold on top. I’m think it’s lack of FAE due to me duct taping the holes during colonization. Lesson learned. The one I’m curious about is the tub I fucked up and mixed both Amazonians and JMF. I’m interested to see if they’ll grow together in clusters. Also the one labeled ‘coffee +’ I misread when adding the coffee. Instead of adding it to the substrate I added while soaking the grains for my 6 quart spawn bags. So that one had the coffee in it since the beginning.
I tried an unmodified tub without any pseudo casing.
Just to experiment I heated a spoon and took off the bit of mold. I went about an inch deep and did well around where it was located. Also put this in another room.

Finally, so much relief that I didn’t screw this run totally up

Looking good. Surface conditions might be slightly dry. Maybe do a high altitude mist get a few droplets of water hanging around in there.

Thanks man. Still trying to figure out the time frame of the micropore and how often I have to mist. Micropore is definitely a lot more user friendly (set and forget) as opposed to trying to figure out the poly fill.

What’re the signs to look for? I look through the tub with my cell phone light and it’s looking like fine water droplets. I did notice fuzziness at the base of the stem. Is that an airflow issue? The rest of my tubs are slowly popping up. Also some tubs have been getting a little too humid so I cut holes in the micropore just to allow better airflow. It’s definitely interesting how specific parts of the room require minor tweaks to tune it in.

Fruited this 4/12. I had it labeled as Jedi but I’m thinking it’s penis envy? I thought I had more than one in rotation. Think I found the second.

Just some updates. This is the first time doing spores to agar. Does this one look okay? I know I should’ve picked the ones earlier too, I just hate only picking one and waiting for the others to mature.

Plate looks normal, I’d stay away from the yellow streaks when taking transfers though.

Updates on the penis envy. I misread about using coffee and threw that in the 6qts of oats used as spawn. Also cased. This is how it’s turning out:
