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.

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.

Nothing looks bad. Substrate might be a bit dry they'd probably like a light misting from high up. Otherwise looking good.

just some constructive criticism for your next run:

your droplets are too big. the myc is getting a little matted down.

get a fine mister and dont spray directly at the sub.  spray over the top and let the droplets fall.  if you check my journal theres a thread there about maintaining proper surface conditions.  it was a game
changer for me, but other than that,

congrats.  reap the fruits of your labor and do it again.  clone the best fruit and be sure to post some harvest pics. 

take care

Thank you guys both for the info and the help it is truly appreciated, now my next question is are these ready to be picked or should I still wait a little longer.

I was under the impression that when the Veil underneath the cap that's covering the gills starts to tear away from the gills they are about ready and since last night till now all the Caps have started flattening out and that round part underneath is definitely separated from the gills.

I know they seem like total newbie questions, and they are because this is my first time so I want to make sure I'm doing it right

Ok so I pulled all the ones that are ready. Which was about half, I cut the caps off of 5 to make prints with.  I put aluminum foil in the oven for half hour at 400 degrees.  Got each cap laying on their own piece of foil,  covered to keep clean/sterile.

All correct so far?

These are the ones that were harvested, 

What should I do about these stems with coco coir still attached?

I plan on drying everything in my toaster oven,  lowest heat around 100f-120f with the door cracked.  Hopefully this will dry them out.  I dont have a dehydrator. But will get one sometime soon.






As always,  Thank you to everybody who had helped!  Especially Rumfor69, I sincerely appreciate you helping me along the way!

Printing should work like that. Spores aren't sterile to begin with. You'll have to learn agar next time and use them that way if you haven't yet.

You can trim the coir off with scissors or scrape it off with a knife. Toaster oven may work I dunno what it'll do. You might wanna put them in front of a fan for 24hrs first so the outsides get dry before putting them in the toaster oven to finish them up that way their outsides don't toast and get all weird. But I'm just guessing here.

I haven't done any agar work yet,  but I ordered a few of the telephone brand agar pouches that arrived this afternoon. Im thinking I'll need light malt extract as well?

These mushies are Golden Teacher, and yea I'm ok with trading if all goes well with the printing lol. 

I pretty much got into this with knowing nothing. I'm very experienced with cannabis growing and started wanting to expand my abilities. 

I want to get into the agar asap. I feel that will allow me to preserve/Clone some of these and won't have to start over from scratch if everything fails or gets contaminated.
Money is pretty tight due to having to take care of an aging family member. So having to start over would be catastrophic

It's been years since I've done anything but I'm getting back into it again. I use light malt extract and telephone brand agar. I poured a bunch of plates recently and am just watching them now for 10 days to see if any contam shows up so I can test my sterile process. I think that's a solid starting point so you can see if you are doing things well.

I never weighed them while they were fresh/wet, but after all day drying (crispy cracker dry)  I ended up with 13.7g
That's not including the 5 biggest caps that are being used for prints.

Alright, can I ask why though? Just curious.

Had them on tin foil in a baking tray in my toaster oven on lowest heat w door cracked.

Keep an eye on em while they're being stored. If they start to get rubbery then they need dried more.

Foil is like a pan, it will start to cook the mushrooms.
Paper or cardboard heats up but also aids in drying.

So my other tub has a couple mushies growing.
First flush from this tub was roughly 13 days ago.  I didn't think it was going to give me more.

Looks bad. Bacterial stress and you have indused pinning by lowering the CO2 lvls in the tub by general fuckery (opening the tub when its not ready and messing around it exchanging the air). This has induced premature pinning and at the same time you made the uncolonized substrate suspectible to trich contam cause the myc propably wont colonize anymore leaving the rest of the substrate availiable to contams. If you used only coir then you propably get a good amount of mushies though like it looks. Start giving fresh air without strong fanning when ever premature pinning starts. When you mist 3-5 times a day after full colonization, it usually changes the air enough in itself without the need to fan. Sorry to be a negative nelly but thats a dirty grow even though it gets you some nice mushies.

Lots of old information in that post.

Exchanging air by opening a tub? And this causes pinning?


Lowering co2 induced pinning?

That's a general nope, yes the tubs are bacterial but the rest of your post isn't valid, fanning, misting 3- 4 times a day?
This is not the early 2000s, methods have evolved.

Sorry to dump on your post but misinformation is stopped fast in pursuit of proper cultivation.

Lack of FAE does not cause overlay and overlay on cubensis mycellium is extremely rare. I bet my left nut that you or none of us in this thread have actually seen overlay on cubensis. FAE durinc colonization is BAD. Colonization reguires gas exchange not FAE. Reduced CO2 lvl is a strong pinning trigger wich stalls colonization of the substrate. Dont spout out bad info.

So youre saying that Paul Stamets and Mr. Rabbit here on shroomery is also wrong? And the THOUSANDS oF experiements made by credited mycologists are wrong? Lol. Ok. Have fun doing dirty half assed grows wich give you some drugs.

Edit: To be fair ill give you a chance to prove your point. Source please. A claim has been made of my competense so please deliver.

Is gas exchange not fresh air exchange? Does fresh air not come in once too much co2 is produced? I feel like you’re coming in too hot for a completely new person while being wrong and going against much longer standing members.

FAE stands for "frequent air exchange". Nothing to do with gas exchange. For example... If you fan by hand that is a mechanic action so by logic its called MECHANIC AIR EXCHANGE or MAE, not FAE. Colonization requires high co2 lvls and when giving FAE its impossible to maintain it properly. Ask any professor stage person this and he will give you the same answer.

Lol it stands for fresh air exchange which would exchange gases which oxygen and co2 are no?

So you make a claim without the feel of responsibility to back your words. A pity. Trolling is not so cool as you think. Scientific arguments have a structure wich you do not respect.

Here is some reference for you.
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/13056302#13056302

Its about how many times the air of your tub changes completely. I dont even understand what youre talking about co2 or "fresh air" (whatever that means) and ive got masters in biochemistry. Im also a chef and have grown gourmes professionally. Cubes are easy.

Ok... So it seems some people yelling from the sides need to be ignored. My bad for giving attention somewhere where irrelevance shines bright. TO THE POINT

As i said "i hate to be the negative nelly" AND  as i said " you got some nice mushies". The thing just is that this isnt mycology. This is making some dirty drugs and pretending to learn a science. The bacterial stress is so visible to the eye that if i grew gourmes like this, i would get shut down by goverment. This is not mycology folks.

Im sorry but i still got the text books that are valid in my uni and also the books or mr, Rabbit and Paul Stamets wich are valid (Paul Stamets has some OUTDATED info but thats understandable). I also always double check the information i give simply because self doubt is healthy. So when i give you information and you say its "old" or "wrong" it means nothing to me and nothing to those who actually make a living out of mushrooms.
Here is some meta criticism for you. Your way of using terms and wording gives you out as something that i detest from the bottom of my heart. Old info is not outdated info. The meaning of gravity doesnt change in our world just by re-measuring it in a different decade.
Have fun eating your dirty drugs. I just hope that you get better at growing them.

Oops sorry. I have to admit that i did give some bad advice when i said "without strong fanning". The fact is that you shouldnt need to fan at all. Mushrooms thrive in ambient conditions and if you give it some thought, you can design a grow space so the FAE(frequent air exchange) happens naturally. Fruiting produces lots of c02 so in the summer when its hard to keep things cool enough, i keep the window open in the room without any strong air currents hitting the grow space. In addition misting by hand exchanges the air also. If you fan by hand (mechanical air exchange) then you introduce a shit ton of contaminants in the grow area also at the same time. If you doubt my words then come collect my left nut if you find a professor who says im wrong. I've been told its delicious.

hello thugnar, welcome to the shroomery

over the past several years it has been observed frequently and without exception that FAE benefits colonization. many members including myself have done side by side comparisons and the difference is notable. i dont have a peer reviewed study to link to but you are welcome to search this site or just try it yourself

since spawning to bulk happens with non-sterile surfaces in open air, opening your tub during colonization or leaving unfiltered holes does not increase the risk of contamination. there are already mold spores and bacteria in your tub when you close it after spawning

these are relatively recent additions to the canon. no shame in not being aware, but the way you react to people who are trying to help you could use some work

Hello.  Thanks, nice to see sensible articulation. Thank you for that. Ive been reading this forum for 12 years and im sorry to say that youre wrong. FAE is introduced when you want to initiate pinning. If you do things perfect then the substrate will be 100%colonized in 4-7 days. This time window requires no FAE and only gas exchange that happens trough the imperfect lid of the box. Opening it and lowering the co2 lvl will slow down the colonization and can even induce pinning. Fanning is a poor method to make up the mistakes youve done designing the grow space. I understand that sometimes its all you got but still... Its in no way optimal.

Edit: I would have to add that the mistakes seen here are the same that mr. Rabbit scolded people for a decade. Nothing new here.

Fae is not introduced when you want to initiate pinning, in fact we don't even initiate pinning; everything is spawned to fruiting conditions from day one.

Anyway.... fighting on the internet... pointless.

hello thugnar, welcome to the shroomery

over the past several years it has been observed frequently and without exception that FAE benefits colonization. many members including myself have done side by side comparisons and the difference is notable. i dont have a peer reviewed study to link to but you are welcome to search this site or just try it yourself

since spawning to bulk happens with non-sterile surfaces in open air, opening your tub during colonization or leaving unfiltered holes does not increase the risk of contamination. there are already mold spores and bacteria in your tub when you close it after spawning

these are relatively recent additions to the canon. no shame in not being aware, but the way you react to people who are trying to help you could use some work

:whathesaid:

I've never "initiated" pinning in my life and I've been doing this a long time. Had more canopies and pin forests than I can remember. I even do my tubs the old way with big 2" holes and one layer of mp take on them, set it and forget it till it needs harvest. G2G to dried fruit in 4-5 weeks lol

I havent spoken anything about having to initiating anything. Its part of a technique. I dont understand what youre saying. As for my first grow log and agar work... I posted that only to get tips for isolating since a friend of mine used to do it for me when working in the kitchens and has since passed. Im fully aware of the required process. Just havent done it and brought my process here on the testing grounds for synergy advantages.

Seems like 99% of people in shroomery mushcult use the Bucket Tek. I do not and for saying this they call me arrogant cause i dont have pictures of my own mushrooms here. The mycoforum of my country just got their proof of shroomerys hostility. I do like it here though becaus of the agar. The archives are valuable.

This is insane. I repeat. I didnt say anything about HAVING TO INITIATE PINNING. The strongest pinning triggers for p.cubensis are indirect sunlight and FAE wich lowers the co2 levels above the substrate. If you want me to use the search engine *for you* then i quess i have to and show you. But tomorrow because its fridayyyy. :evil: :cool:

Edit: In the meantime if youre really bored then you can always use the engine yourself. Search posts written by Anno, roadkill or Rogerrabit. A few other worth to mention in this context but cant remember the profile names right now. Use proper search words like "pasteurization of bulk substrate". Rogerrabbit also has great insight in the pinning triggers of mushroom mycellium and also the ambient state of the grow space. Its all valid information and they teach some of that stuff at my uni.

Sigh

Sunlight and fae?

We colonize our substrates and fruit in indirect sunlight providing fae at all times, those  are not  pinning triggers.

Damn, this went a bit sideways lol.
I'm still learning or at least trying to.
This was my first attempt, and although not anything spectacular, I did get some fruits.
Thanks to everybody that helped.

So these were from the 2nd flush.

Also... the 12 half pint jars seem to be around 40% to 50% colonized. I'll get a pic when I get the chance.
I have 12 more jars that I modified the lids on, and another 12 I havent touched yet so that'll be 36 jars to work with. Preferably I'd like to have a bunch at different stages so there's more to do in terms of 1. Keeping busy and 2. Not having everything tied up in 1 tub in case something goes wrong,  I'm not waiting weeks for another attempt.

So I started a few mini tubs. And have them in a fruiting chamber.

Look healthy? This saturday will be 2 weeks since spawned, the 2 on the right are 1 week old tomorrow.

It's all good. I'd recommend ignoring that one guy who doesn't even know what FAE stands for and just listen to those here who have proven experience, and you'll be fine. Congratulations on your first grow.

So long as surface conditions are good, then those pins will soon be ready to harvest and if you have not had any experience with the mushrooms when they pass the pin stage, you may well be amazed at just how fast they grow and mature. I hope that you have a bountiful harvest.

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words/positive vibes @Johnukguy Yea I did 2 shoeboxes so far.  And now these mini containers.  You're right though,  these mushrooms grow so fast!  I have my gopro set up on a tripod now taking pictures every half hour.

I plan on making a time lapse video of them growing.
Here's the newest update.

Tub looks good so far nothing looks alarming. I'd start taking transfers from those cups so you can get tiny pieces from the leading edges of growth now.

Yea MS syringe, grew mushies,  took a piece from inside of a stem n put it on agar. Then transferred a leading edge from the initial stem/agar plate.

Looks good, do more transfers on it again, try to get it more monoculture looking. Mycelium like that you won't mistake it so maybe ditch the food dye to see if it makes the growth better.

What would monoculture look like?
I used the food coloring because I though it was to help see things/contams better? Or am I mistaking

Monocultures start to look uniform all the way around like this. So how yours is like a branch off one way, sectors of different growth patterns. Basically you're seeing different genetic characteristics there. A clone can still contain lots of different genetics.



Color contrast is ok I suppose as you can see I used to use it. LMEA has a dark tint to it anyway but you can see through it better imo. These dishes have no color in them.

Ah ok, gotcha.  That's what I was kinda thinking but wasn't positive.  But your explanation and pictures make it very clear. Thank you,  I appreciate you helping and sharing your knowledge. So I'll keep transferring to try to get it to that point.

On another note,  I made up 3 more shoeboxes today from the colonized jars i had.
I also have put hillbilly king on agar (from a swab) 4 days ago but no growth yet.

Spores can sometimes take awhile. Don't start to worry until about the 3 week mark.

But yea always keep transferring. Take multiple samples from those clone dishes and transfer to new dishes. Grab a tiny piece from the tips of those different ropy branches. I'd stay away from the disorganized fuzzy mycelium. Agar is a fun game all in itself. Get good at it and there's no limit to what you can do. Try some with no color too, remember food coloring is usually some kind of chemical, it can cause different growth sometimes. Experiment to see what happens.
