Turkey Tail growth on agar
    #27066474 - 12/01/20 02:22 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hey all i just started recently working on growing my own mushrooms, right now i have cloned two wild mushrooms, macrolepiota procera and trametes versicolor or Turkey Tail, and i had quite a lot of problems with the macrolepiota procera all types of contam or no growth at all, but the Turkey Tail looks great and grew fast, but i noticed that there is something that looks like water droplets in the mycelium, is this something bad or is this normal?

Don't worry about it. Just metabolites or condensation. TT is the most aggressive species I've worked with so far.

Agreed.  Watching it overrun bacteria and even mold is fun.

cloning turkey tail is a bitch. getting some tissue out of those thin fuckers.
but it's indeed a fun species to work with! make sure you don't wait too long to use the plate or it'll form a leathery skin on the agar.

Forrester, I have an agar plate of Turkey Tail that is ready to go but I can't decide if my spawn recipe is adequate: rye + a bit of brown rice flour, a "dash" of gypsum and a little finely chopped straw.  I have it in quarts.

I could do another recipe (sawdust?) but if the above is ok I'd like to watch this grow out before I commit to a more serious grow.

Do you grow Turkey Tail regularly or more as a curiosity?

Thanks!

I'm not sure why you would put anything but rye in the spawn.  Spawn is generally just grain.

Unless you're doing jars as a whole substrate to fruit from.  I've never tried it that way so I don't know how well it will work without much wood in there.

I don't grow anything regularly at the moment as it's the dead of winter here and I have no fruiting space!  But when spring rolls around again I'll probably do some buckets for outdoors, that's my favorite way to do turkey tails.

I added no more than a couple handfuls of BRF and straw (chopped in a strong blender) to about 15 quarts of rye.  I'm an experienced home baker with a lot of various grains so I tweaked the rye in the same way I tweak my doughs, just to see what happens.  I'm hoping that additional smaller and diverse material may speed things up.

It is also cold here and snowing but one wall of my attic lab is also our central chimney.  The wood cookstove is under me, in the kitchen.

I'll inoculate a couple of jars and hope for success.

In the meantime, I'd love to hear more about growing TT outside.  There is turkey tail in literally every direction from our cabin but I like the DIY challenge and convenience.

Easy AF just use an oyster style bucket with some holes drilled, any grain for spawn, and spawn it to hardwood fuel pellets in the bucket!

So easy, just like oysters, just use a liner and cut X's where the holes in the bucket are!
