First grow, need some general guidance * 1
    #26753045 - 06/17/20 11:43 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hello all,

I'll start out by saying this is my first mushroom grow and I don't really know what I am doing; but this is the process I have followed.

Inoculated a 3lb. spawn bag with entire 10ml syringe.
After 2 weeks I had a nice bag of healthy mycelium.
Took the mycelium and added it two two totes of equal size and mixed with 4 inches deep of half coco coir and half vermiculite.
I put these totes in my closet in the dark to let them further colonize so I can put in to fruiting at a later time.
The pictures show what the substrate now looks like after having mixed the spawn in 4 days ago.

My questions: Does this mycelium look healthy or am I growing mold?
              If its healthy, how much longer should I wait before enducing fruiting?

http://



Thanks to any who can give advice.

Looks healthy enough, it's common practice to start fruiting conditions at the same time as spawning to bulk. What tec are you doing?

Looks OK to me. Seems like you are using somewhat outdated and/or misunderstood methods though.

Darkness for colonization is generally not done anymore. Mycelium benefits from light exposure at all stages of growth.

Many people give the tubs fruiting conditions (i.e. FAE) once they spawn them. No need to limit air exchange at first. The aerial myc I see in your pics can indicate that your tub would benefit from more fresh air.

The standard coir/verm mix is not 50/50. I think it's a common misunderstanding because the guy who wrote the original bucket tek is named Damion5050. Standard is 2qt verm to 1 brick coir, which I guesstimate to be closer to 1:4 ratio verm:coir.
