I just harvested my second flush from BRF cakes. I went with APE and they grew fine, no problems - I'm a bit of a perfectionist. My only complaint was therir size. First flush came in and my largest fruit was maybe 1-1/2" in height. The second flush gave me a few 2-inchers. Most of what I get are little guys around 1/2-3/4" and barely worth harvest because once dried, oof tiny. I'm definitely not harvesting too early as they are turning quite blue by the time I harvest. The cap outer rim curling or trying to curl up on the edges on the big guys.

Are APEs normally this small or can they 'normally' grow to 4"+? I mean there's nothing envious about these. :grin: I have SNAPEs on hand as well. Should I expect the same thing from those? APEs are ver 1.0 from that awesome Spore Website that created it. The SNAPEs came as a culture from SS but I haven't yet tried to grow them out. I'm wondering if they're known to turn out just as small?

The general consensus is that APE is usually not that impressive in size. 2" is pretty good for APE. Sure some have gotten larger but it's not that common.

For example, here are some APE shoeboxes I grew a couple years ago:




Not the greatest grow - that was from MS. And just like anything, you can hunt for a good clone culture that tends to produce larger fruits.

If you want to grow big albino fruits, try Gandolf or Yeti.

Have a whole bunch of cups that look like these.
To much nutes?
For the next transfer I’m Thinking I might do a 50/50 cut with some of the surplus  I have stored in the fridge (wbs agar) and some surplus water agar ...



What you guys think?

I used roughly 1 cup wbs per 500 ml water. Simmered 10 minutes, Decanted.





Also, these plates all started out looking like the ones below, after a transfer from water agar.
Nichrome diagnosed the haze as weak mycelium. Looks to me like the maybe those first strong rings could be the result of it β€œtaking offβ€œ?

Question:

If someone is oven drying their mushrooms, what temperature range and for roughly how long should someone advise them to use?

Don't oven dry, just lay them out on paper and point a fan at them. You'll have to use a fan with the oven too cause the fan is really doing the work anyway so might was well just let the fan do the work without the oven

I was thinking of what to say for when someone wants to use an oven, which I've come across a fair bit lately and don't know enough about. But I would much prefer to advise them to use a fan as you recommend. It's makes more sense to me. Thank you SirP.

I have been trying to temper my gut instinct and immediate reaction to slap people who do stuff like this and be more reasonable and easy going about such things. I remind myself that I too am new and don't know far more than I sometimes think I know. I have to admit though that I do prefer your approach to such practices.

I got my dehydrator on sale for like $30 on amazon, a box fan probably costs like $15-20, might as well save an extra $10 and get that dehyrator lol.... I see them commonly in thrift stores too

Just started messing with LC the last few months.  This is from a cubensis agar pin that I dropped into a (very semi-solid, touch of agar) Liquid Culture.  Put the dipped a flame sterilized blade into the LC and put a small drop to agar about 10 days ago - but forgot to turn my heater back on in the room before leaving for a week, so temps were very low. 

How's this look to you guys?  I guess this should probably go a bit longer to truly tell, but I do have some growth, albeit a bit disorganized.  Hoping I would see bacteria if present by now.





I know the photos are kinda shit... The dark mark below the growth is from cooling the blade, there is also a little bubble in the agar to the left in the up-close photo. MEA at 1.5% agar to water.  Would you send the LC to grain?

Speaking of dehydrators - does anyone know the math behind optimal airflow vs. heat vs. size to dial in a DIY dehdyrator (or any other related rules of thumb)?  I can throw excessive amounts of heat and air at it to dry things faster, but I really get the feeling it's inefficient.

Out of sheer curiosity, how long have you (TCs) been growing mushies and how long did it take you to feel comfortable with mush cult?

first grow summer 05. amazing.

second grow fall/winter 05-7. grew a good amount. stopped. became a drunk

3rd time was 2016. grow abysmal shrooms but enough to cure the drinking.

2016-2018 grew inhuman amounts of mushrooms. learned more advanced techniques. grew more shrooms than i could give away.

on/off the last few years. been slacking recently but house buying/gardening/weed growing will distract you from growing shrooms.

first cultivated shrooms


last grow


weed
