They are so dry after dehydrating, that they crack so easily while putting them in vacuum bags. Even when handling the bags after sealing, they constantly break into pieces.

Can imagine keeping then whole for long. This normal?


My vacuum sealer has a plus vac button so I can remove only as much as I want before sealing. I too a descant paket in with it and pulse it until just before breaking. Gets a lot of air out and stores great. If I used the auto sealer on it it would probably do the same as your though. I do mine in 1 ounce pouches.

I make sure I’ve got a desiccant in the bag and don’t quite vacuum seal it all the way, a little bit of air left in the bag doesn’t matter, why worry if they break up a bit unless you’re keeping them to look at later?

Unrelated, but I haven’t seen the don pop up recently, (mushie mafia) wonder if his baby landed “~”

That's what I have it in, is a foodsaver bags. Just sucks how careful ypu have to be to baby them otherwise they with pulverize into dust. Jars seem to be better but can't hold anywhere as much and takes up more room.

Hey Roscoe,

Just want to thank you for the excellent description on shoeboxes. The shrooms kicked in and I wasn't available to expand on my previous post. You covered what I meant by true shoebox. Some 6l tubs are airtight. A shoebox is designed to have air exchange so shoes don't get musty or moldy. Also happens to create the perfect microclimate for shrooms.

That's the way she goes, boys. Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't, cause that's the fuckin way she goes.

hope not. Still several weeks before he’s due but that means nothing in the world of babies. My first was 6 weeks early. Week in the nicu. Didn’t held her down. She’s been in the 90+ percentile the whole time. Tall and looks way older than she is. Lol

Love me some Mushie. He’s an amazing guy!
Hope SPs rating didn’t run him off. Lol

Thai Pink Buffalo growing in worm castings, calcium carbonate, and coir.

Humidified with a <1% bleach/water solution ~20 min daily

>>QUESTION: The tub has looked like this for 3 days now after rapid and consistent growth in the week before. Is this normal or should I do something about this?

I think it might be the pH, but it looked like this when it was a bit overgrown on agar.


The pics, to me, indicate matting and possibly bacterial contamination. Overmisting, fanning and using unnecessary additives, can all contribute to problems, but the main source of any contamination is likely contaminated spawn to begin with, with the mycelium then further weakened by adverse growing conditions. This is particularly the case with putting spores straight to grain, if you went that way. For future reference, try a PF Tek grow instead, or learn how to make cheap, quick agar and put spores to that, to eventually get clean mycelium to then put on grain. I doubt the matting and state of the mycelium has got much to do with PH either. Not much of what you're doing is 'normal.' Pink Buffalo is a cube, so grows just fine with plain coir, or coir and verm for substrate. Additives tend to complicate things and don't do much for the mycelium.

The use of bleach indicates to me that you're also growing in a tent. Tents can work well for gourmets and exotics, but tend to not work so well with cubes. The tubs will be perfectly fine with a non airtight lid on a shelf with some ambient light and likely do better than in a tent, with far less variables to dial in. They don't need to be misted on a schedule, fanned, involve the use of bleach, none of that. Just a non airtight lid, misting from well above the substrate only as needed, not the tub walls or lids, and they should do just fine usually. In the case of this grow, I'd recommend taking the tub out of the tent, if you're using one and follow the advice given above with regard to misting and providing constant, passive, slight air by means of a non airtight lid. If you need more FAE, you can flip the lid. You may still get some fruits and I hope that you do, but I'd suggest starting another project, such as a PF Tek grow in the meantime. Good luck.

Sounds like killer spores from un baked vermiculite permiated the tub walls. You can try fanning them and use a UV light to prevent this.

Tao beat me to it lmao


About that much but placing them in jars like that is like playing Tetris lmao.
I'm trying to save on space but even trying to fit them in jars like that cracks them into pieces.


Gallon ziploc with desiccant, then put that in a vacuum seal bag. The vacuum sealer wont crush the inner ziploc beyond the air that's in it. Kinda like potato chips in a bag


I like this approach the best so far and will be using it.

I'm liking the idea of baking the plastic. Saves time.

Do spores keep developing even after you pick them? Found a few today that had started dropping spores, the days harvest is in the fridge but considering attempting making prints for the first time. Would anyone even want basic bitch “PF classic” prints?

for my 500ml pyrex agar vessels I microwave them until any agar is turned liquid and soak in almost boiling hot soapy water.
A good scrub during this time with really anything you can fit into the vessel(and extract out of) like a sponge or toothbrush makes em nice and shiny.
