Fumble1130's First P. Cubensis grow on bulk casing
    #26860357 - 08/03/20 09:26 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

So I decided to try my hand at growing P. cubensis, and started off inoculating 21 BRF jars. Fortunately, way more of them made it to full colonization than I planned so I found myself with 4 more cakes then I could fit into my SGFC. So I crumbled the cakes up and layered them with pasteurized 50/50 coir/verm and put them in a 10-gallon aquarium with a sheet of plastic as a top. Here's the timeline:

6/29 - inoculated BRF
7/11 - Jars fully colonized
7/27 - mixed crumbled up caked into bulk casing layer
8/3 - Here it is today. The mycelium started showing up last night. I'm surprised, tbh, I thought my spawn/bulk ratio was way too low.


More later

8/5 - I've got mycelium growth, looks like thousands of tiny white threads poking through the casing. Weird, I haven't seen a picture like that before.

Phew, thanks. I was pretty sure but this being my first time, I'm a little like a new parent.

Nice. Looks like its working :smile:

BTW although the terminology is correct using "casing" most people now call it substrate with casing now being referred to as the top layer used after colonization.

Thanks! I have been a bit confused about the terminology. I thought bulk casing was a casing substance (in this case, coir/verm) mixed in with the spawn whereas bulk substrate was a nutritious substrate (poop/straw) mixed with the spawn, often then covered by a casing layer. But I have no problem admitting I'm wrong.

I am not sure if there is really a "right" and "wrong", just the current use of the terms.

Got some good shrooms! It looks like the yield is lower than similar setups I've seen, maybe because I only used 4 BRF cakes? Maybe because it's in an aquarium without passive FAE, relying only on my fanning? Doesn't matter really, it proves that I am not the one dude who is completely incapable of growing shrooms :-)
