TCO, sorry if I missed it, but what's your substrate? My last round was straight coir, cased with 50/50.
Pulled a whole 6g dry :lol:

Was going to do coffee supplemented coir next round based on some other grows, but I gotta say the
doctor says coffee makes me nervous.




Depends on how lazy I'm feeling. :lol:
This time it's straw. Plain and simple. Everything lazy tek. Too many irons in the fire at the moment to do otherwise. In the past I've had good luck with various substrates though. Various mixes of straw, yerba mate and bamboo have all produced some really big fruits.
I'm pretty sure this one was on straw / yerba. It's what I would consider medium large.


I don't trust coffee or coir to hold up under time parameters so I've never tried it with these.

Yeah lazy tek for me all the way as well. I'm worn out. Want to grow something that's like
watching paint dry for awhile. I'll skip the coffee.

First pin on a tub spawned 9/15 with consolidated spawn. Not much to look at the moment obviously but an exciting sign of things to come nonetheless.

My last two attempts were just like this. A single pin almost a month to the day from spawn. Then random fruits popping up over two months.

Now signs of at least 6 pins on the surface so maybe the flush won't be so inconsistent.

Furthest along in a little cluster:


Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried fruiting these without a casing?

I don't like how mine have performed without a casing actually.  They don't like drying out at all IME (water hogs actually) and my own environment just isn't conducive.

Flushed okay for me the ones that made it last time, this round looks like it will be pathetic:

Pathetic is the word...

I´ve been waiting for at least 2 months now. FINALLY they show.






I will have to work on my technique i guess. At least now i know that they in fact do fruit under "standard cubensis" conditions.

I have never had success with subtrops without casing, while every (non contaminated) attempt with a casing resulted in at least a few dozen pins(if not a huge cluster). I strongly recommend either a peat/verm casing or a plain choir casing.

I have been successfully cultivating subtrops for long time so I can say with confidence that without a casing you are asking to be frustrated away from the species. 

For those of you who went without a casing, I suggest dunking the cakes in water for 4-8 hrs, then scratching the surface of the mycelium to break through the potential overlay(keep it shallow, don't knick any grains), then casing and refruiting.

What do you mean by "casing"? I may be lost in translation here. To me "casing" means putting whatever into some sort of case. For example a box open on top. In my case this means putting spawn mixed with coir into a planting tray. As seen on my pictures.

Please clarify.

Casing means a non nutritious top layer.
I've used plain vermiculite with great success. Just mist it once every 2 days or so.

Ok! That is what i did. I forgot to mention the layer of coir on top. Sorry. It has been so natural for me, i didnt even think of it.


So the moisture/CO2 gradient may be the culprit in my case. More air...
Since you said you mist, i guess you don´t hold your shrooms captive in a box with a lid on top, like i do. Check!

Oh I see! Well, my problem with a pure choir casing is that sometimes Subtrops will eat it all the way through to the top of the casing, then get damaged by being exposed causing overlay. I havn't isolated a culture that eats all the way through a choir casing yet, but I assumed that it was possible. It appears that you have found a culture that defeats the usefulness of choir casing in this application.

I suggest making a peat/verm casing(because peat cannot be colonized by subtrops) and trying again. Asura's Casing recipe has been a standard of mine for a while.

Them going all the way through the substrate is a symptom of them beeing happy, i guess. And i don´t see how they could get "damaged" by reaching the "top". Overlay in my opinion is just an artifact of preferable conditions for growth, instead of fruting.

I will try applying a top layer composed of digestible and indigestible stuff. Sounds good!

I did that once with coir/verm 1:1 vs jiffy peat seed mix. It was a cubensis PE variety, though.

pre casing


just cased (the darker side is the peat casing)


progress


fist pin came on the colonized CV side...


but in end

the Jiffy peat casing that did not get colonized performed much better for several flushes.

It will be interesting to see if that holds up with this species.
