Oh man, yer so much fun. Mebbe if we get stuck in Madrid, Spain May 2, you can come vouch for us!
Yes the casing could be lame, I used Pearlite instead of Verm, and I forgot the lime AND I still don't have any gypsum.
Casing:
1 part peat moss 1 part verm - Pearlite instead 1 part boiling water 1/4 teaspoon Organic Hydrated Lime - forgot it 1 good pinch of gypsum - still haven't found any Pasteurize and cool overnight. .5-.75β, mist, put in FC - fruiting chamber Pearlite, in FC between tubs, hydrate to field capacity
APE very rarely blobs, never seen it myself, just some scattered cases here and there of people posting on the forums. A top layer at spawn is all you need.
Perlite can be used as an extra in casings but it's no substitute for verm. It lacks the capacity to hold water like verm does. Verm is also there to alter the 'earthy' consistency of peat and make the resulting casing material much fluffier and airy, which is really important for a casing.

4-28-2021 Fucked up a few canopies by bottom watering them too late in a flush. Forgot to open a window and had the dehydrator running. Damn room was 85Β°F when I got home. The high humidity made the mushrooms sag and ruined any chance at getting spores LMAO. Oh well.

Hi guys
finally have some time to pick this back up again. i've decided to skip the Texas orange cap as I couldn't get a clean culture, unfortunately. However, I'm working with a beautiful culture, Z.
I stumbled upon a post by violet, the pods tek and decided to give it a go. it describes a way to produce sterile fruits for cloning.
this strain produces beautiful rhizomorphic growth on agar. I inoculated a 1 cm deep layer of grass seed with a wedge, let it colonize and fruited it inside of the container. then took some primordia and plated them on an agar dish.
   
In my experience, this is the easiest way to grow small batches of mushrooms. doesn't take space, doesn't require care, only requires grass seed (it could probably fruit on different grains). I added water to the grass seed and sterilized it, no extra prep required.

Fuckin great tubs man.
That first one is loaded with spores! 85 is the max that most cubes will tolerate without significantly degrading the grow. Little swings wonβt hurt, I had my tubs up to 105 for a few hours a day for a week but still into the mid 70s at night and it was alright. Once it got real hot and never got below 85 is when I had problems. Toc loved it but it was the only one.

Funny that you mention that because the other TOC tubs that are going seem to be doing okay minus needing a little bit more FAE. But theres the 3 RW tubs and 3 or 4 WG tubs that all turned upside down and got really soft. Dont know for certain but I'd bet that the room was around 85Β°F for 7 or 8 hours. Checked a few caps with a q-tip and no rust

So I was thinking, ( I know, I smelled something burning too ), mebbe I could scrape the casing off?
It's pumping APEs on the sides, so mebbe there's good stuff ready in the center. Not really much at stake, perhaps just try one.

Edit: Holy Moly I went to scrape casing off one and it had monster side pins. The casing was prolly way too firm with the pearlite and all. So I did all of them, cake style on the pearlite in the bottom. pics to follow when they go APE!

I know huh, the battle of the APEs turned into a whimper! But just now, 4 months later, one APE is fruiting.

05/01/2021 Week 17 Check in...
Whyte Gold Box 2 - shot 1

Whyte Gold Box 2 - shot 2

Texas Orange Caps - soon to be swabbed

The Tribe Mystery spore print was confirmed to be Whyte Gold - which I really don't know much about! I let the 2nd shoebox go a little too long (spores everywhere) but it came in big. 320g wet, which is my biggest shoebox haul yet. A couple of these were the biggest individual mushrooms I have grown - I guess these would have been monsters in a mono-tub. Thanks again to The Tribe for these spores! Very cool genetics!
And I am trying Texas Orange Caps for my 3rd spore type in LAGM21. Swabbed the spores to agar this morning.
See you next week! Mush Love!
