Spawn? (Pics)
    #26719476 - 06/04/20 03:45 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

What do you do when you
Use spawn to grow shrooms?

Do you need a grow chamber
Or do the shrooms grow
In the bag?

I ask this because I watched a
Video and he did some weird
Shit.
He inoculated the grow bag.
Let the mycelium spread.
Then cut the top off the grow
Bag and place it in a box?!?

I am confused.

The mushrooms are great.
The mushrooms are fine.
Give me them with lashings of wine.

Spawning to a bulk substrate is preferred. I've never had luck fruiting in the same bag, those all in 1 kits are bunk.

Spawn is a weird thing to think about when your starting growing. Basically its a kind of grain. I use wild bird seed I got at the store for 15 bucks. Theres many different grains you can use tho. Oats, rye, corn, brown rice, wild bird seed, millet, etc etc. The preparation of the grain is what's important. I use a soak and simmer method on my wild bird seed where I soak in a water/coffee/gypsum mixture, then after 12 hours of soaking in a bucket, I will put in a pot and bring the water up to a simmer. Ill pour it out into a strainer and let the water evaporate off to the right moisture content then ill load it into jars and pressure cook and its ready to be inoculated. Agar is the preferred innoculant tho. Using a syringe to inoculate usually ends not so good with a high contam rate.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.
So the mushrooms can grow off the spawn
Then?
Or do I need to add something
To the spawn?
If so, what?

Would compost work?

Gonna wanna spawn the spawn to a bulk substrate. Coco coir and horse poo are the most commonly used. Compost could work but depends on what it has in it.

Dont fruit directly off the grains although you could if you wanted to I guess.

All I have as substrate is
Compost. Well. It’s worth a shot.

Should I wait till all the spawn
Turns white before mixing with
The compost?

Yes , wait till it’s all white then wait another week after that.
You will have better luck with coco coir in a shoebox.
Coir is available at pet store , sometimes Walmart or online
I got 3 brinks of coir for 8 bucks off Amazon.
Good luck!

Yes, you want your spawn all to be white.

I suggest Is to go for the win..! Buy some coir.

The more you read and ask questions will put you closer to being successful.

The search page is a good place to start.

Right.
I have found some coir
On eBay.
1 litre for 8 quid.
Will purchase some next week.
Then the spawn should be
Ready.
Shouldn’t it?
Can’t order any coir till next
Week.
God I hope this works.

What tek are you following? It sounds like you don't have a basic grasp of any process.

Not following any tek.
I have a bag of rye spawn
That I inoculated with golden
Teacher spores. But I thought
That was it. I have now learnt
About the whole process by
Watching a show on YouTube.

He goes through every step.
I just need the substrate then
I am good.

You should start with agar you won't regret it. Cheap and enables you to grow better with lower contam rates and store cultures that you want to save. Looking back I wasted too much time using multi spore grows with little success.

The majority of cultivation videos not from this site use outdated methods and just suck overall. If the one you watched told you to shoot spores into grain bags, then it's probably one of those.

You should do some reading around this website to get on track. Start here, get a grasp on which process works best with your supplies, look for ways to improve based on that info, and then you'll be in a better place to progress.

I know I'm a fool, but that's why I keep trying to learn.

I also have some 3-year Cambodian prints to get rid of. DM me if interested

Read more. I read for 2 years solid before I made the jump from the basic pftek to bulk. You can keep asking basic questions and getting basic answers or you can ask the same questions to the search engine and get the big picture. Everything has already been asked and answered a million times.

Don’t worry.
I have figured it out.
Waiting for the next step
And I am going to use a tub
With a lid.
Yes! I’ve got it.
