What is the motivation behind this approach, just curiosity?

Will hpoo and coir work as a substrate?

Coir and H-manure works great. I use a ratio of 50/50. Make sure to keep the mix fluffy.

So I shouldn't compress the substrate a bit after I put the colonized grains in there?

I'm attempting to fruit pans in a sealed tub with practically no FAE. The 'tub' (ice cream container) contains a tray filled with sodium hydroxide (drain cleaner) to absorb the CO2. Kinda like the CO2 scrubbers used in submarines, but way simpler. Will see what happens. This is the first time I've opened the tray since pinning began 3 days ago. Substrate depth is an inch (too little) and as you can see the casing is drying already from the pins developing, I won't be watering for now as to not risk aborts.



Lighter for scale

Interesting!


@hindsight: dope!


Bisporus on the left and cyan on the right, ready to be spawned. This is my first time growing these guys out and I was not expecting their myc to look so different. Bisporus reminds me of the sclerotia producers myc before it gets weird



Bisporus is much slower than the cyans. After a shake the bisporus started growing significantly faster. Not sure why, maybe a grain hydration thing? This is the 2nd time I’ve shaken it. First time the growth was slow almost thought it stalled at one point but 2nd time it seems significantly faster. Though more than likely it’s just an “illusion”

I’ve shaken both these jars twice because they started out with only a small amount of mycelium. Even after 2 weeks it was just a small circle so I then I shook them to hurry them along and then 2 weeks later one last shake. Just

This is what my FC is going to be. 12 of them filled to about the 250m line. 1qt spawn to 2 quarts substrate (cpoo/verm/coir)



They’ll colonize with the lids on and then to fruit I’ll just stack another container on top



I’m doing this because I’ve had success using these to fruit the truffle producers. Also in my mind this makes it more likely I’ll at least get a print as opposed to an entire tub where maybe it just goes bad

More pans hit the fruiting chamber cased. I don't remember what I dialed in the last few years. Been doing gourmet for a few years.
I figured this would be more intuitive lol.

Coir isn't optimal and may lead to issues.  Chopped straw, poo and verm.  It's picky and needs the aeration and scaffolding that straw provides

---

What kind of issues can it lead to?
I heard from Baba Yaga that h-manure/coir will work fine.
I already mixed it into the substrate and slightly watered it.
I'll see if it'll work or not

Is it better to add some coir in straw/manure/verm mixture? Are there any advantages?

Pan cyan is by far best psilocybe mushroom. After growing some regular ones, had one tub with pe6. But only after growing pan cyan and trying it recently for the first time, I finally got full experience.

I just spawned to some substrate that’s mostly cpoo with verm and a little bit of coir for texture. I don’t know if it’s better to add, but a little bit made the texture of my substrate better

Also, update:



These are the pans on cpoo/verm/coir. The 1cup/250ml line is about 1.25”. Thought I had enough spawn and substrate for 12 of these but it ended up being 7. Pretty good number though!

That was my first time smelling pan cyan mycelium. Much different than cubensis
