Is this looking ok so far?
    #28082454 - 12/04/22 02:01 AM (2 years, 1 month ago)

Hey guys,  I'm mango and fairly new to all this.  I'm used to growing plants but never really thought about growing mushrooms. So I spawned some fully colonized brown rice to coco coir back on Nov24. I have a few questions if anybody would be willing to help.
Do this look ok so far?
If so, is it ready to be fruited?

Currently,  I've been keeping another small container of the same size over top to keep the humidity up, been misting and fanning a few times a day as well.
Normally I leave the top cracked a bit so it can get fresh air.  Everything ok so far?  Or is there something I should be doing different? 

Being the first grow. I'm not concerned with flush size,  I just want to see a few, although the more the better :smile: actually grow.

Spawned to coir on Nov 24th
Any help is extremely appreciated.

Looks good to me so far.
Id say let it colonize for a few more days then put it into fruiting conditions.
Goodluck with your first grow :smile:

Looks thick like it's going to overlay from a lack of FAE. We all mostly goto fruiting conditions at the time of spawning these days. No need to separate colonizing and fruiting as two different things. I'd put that in fruiting conditions and maintain proper surface conditions like in the link in my sig.

Thank you for the replies!
So keep the other tub in place over the top,to keep humidity up, but cracked for FAE.. continue to mist as needed, and everything will come on with patience?
It's been cold and dry here this time of year so ive only been able to maintain temps around 70-72f.
Thank you all again! If this Tub turns out well,  I have a few more fully colonized cakes ready to be spawned/fruited. I needed backup just in case my first attempt failed. :wink:

70-72f is great no need to be warmer. Patience, fae, and surface conditions 👍 the rest is up to how clean ur spawn was.

I believe it was fairly clean, at least the cleanest I was able to achieve lol.  It was solid white.. completely white all over,  even when i broke it apart. I didn't see anything anywhere that wasn't white. And I did all that inside of my SAB, gloves,  70%iso.  The coco coir was also fresh from a brand new unopened bag. I put in a bucket and added boiling water n let sit to cool covered overnight. 

I'll keep saying it, but I'm very thankful and very appreciative of all the help, critique, comments anybody has to offer.
 
I take care of my grandmother full time, and really don't have much else of a social life or friends that know anything about this so you guys n gals are all I've got.

Here's a pic from today. This thursday will be exactly 2 weeks since I've spawned the colonized rice to coco coir. I thought I'd be seeing pins by now

Patience. It's always darkest before sunrise. Stay the course. Maintain surface conditions and just chill. :smile:

I figured its me just being impatient. Well, not exactly impatient because I want shrooms, it's more of a... its my first time so I have a lot of fear of it failing and going wrong.
I remember feeling this way too when I grew out my first few cannabis plants.  Worry about losing the harvest or something going wrong.  But as long as y'all think everything looks okay so far,  then I'm gonna have to remain calm, stay positive, and wait for them to do their thing.  I think once I get have a successful grow,  I'll know more of what to expect. If that makes sense.  Thank you guys!

if you get antsy just start more grows. i recommend PF TEK. its always nice to have a few things in rotation, takes the anxiety down a peg to have backups

That's exactly what I hope to do. Only have 1 syringe left and a couple more colonized cakes.  I was thinking about using a cake  to knock up more jars or bags of rice. Then hopefully that'll give me more to play with.

Could be. Im not used to seeing a colored cap so early in pinning but all my grows for last 4 months are albino species. Why is your mycelium at the swimming pool?

Consider getting a fine mister so you can get the droplets appearing on your mycelium instead of a coating of water. That standing water will mat down your mycelium which is undesirable.
