I definitely thought mushrooms were like the whole organism before growing. I didn’t know it was more like a flower on a bush, but the bush is underground. Like no one knows that part. It’s crazy.

oh same lmfao, i figured the mushroom had roots or something but when i learned that mushrooms were actually “fruits” of a way more crazy organism my mind was fucking blown. whenever i mention that to people who don’t know they’re like :o

each time i learn something new about fungus & mushrooms my love & appreciation for them grows so much

quick question:

if y’all are to say “myc” out loud in reference to mycelium, do you say “mike” or “mice”? it occurred to me that i don’t think i’ve ever heard anyone who cultivates say it out loud before


Merriam-Webster says mycelium has c as s.

But mycology and mycosis is a hard c. And they all have the same root, myco, which is new Latin, but comes from Greek.

In classical Latin, c is pronounced k. C as pronounced s is a newer pronunciation bc New Latin.

So I’d hazard that you could pronounce “myc” either way, depending on whether you want to sound like Julius Caesar or not (which was originally pronounced Kay-sahr, origin of the words Kaiser and tsar)

Dear Brothers, I hope this thread still serves it's purpose. I'm trying to find an answer but can't find a good conclusion anywhere (I'm sure it can be found, but I wasn't able to)

I've cleaned up ms on agar. To practice, I've done a bunch of plates. Now leaving me with a lot to choose from. To summarize I've got multiple plates divided in three variants. Uniform rhizomorphic, uniform tomentose and sectored in a mix of the both. (See pictures below, I'm sorry for the pour quality, for some reason my camera won't focus on the mycelium. But I think you get the picture, tomentose/fairly rhizomorphic/sectored)





So what am I looking for ? I want to put them on grain, is uniform growth always preferred? I know sectored (non uniform)growth can be an indication of hidden contam. But it's transfer number 5 and they look very clean. Sectored Is also a sign of different genetics right? Is this maybe preferred because I want to grow out and then clone. (I'm not looking for an isolate)

Besides that do I prefer rhizomorphic over tomentose? I know rhizomorphic can turn into tomentose and the other way around, but these cultures are grown on exact the same medium and stored in exact the same conditions. So then it is about genetics right? Would I then prefer rhizomorphic over tomentose or just grow them out both and sees what fruits best? (I have 30 plates to choose from , and 10 grain jars) would love to hear from you.

Uniform growth best growth. Top two are likely good IMO but id transfer just to keep it going. Bottom one also probably not bad just not exactly uniform. Rhizo vs tomentose doesn’t matter. All I get is tomentose even if I can get it to switch to rhizo.

So my Albino Cambodians are not fruiting. I did them on agar, but never did a test. Transferred best growth, yadda yadda.

Is it possible that I selected a non fruiting piece of mycelium? Jars might have been a bit bacterial, but they colonized most of the sub, and there has been no mold.

In retrospect, I don't think I've seen pins on older plates...

Halp. I've tried loosening the polyfill, fanning, using hairdresser spray bottles to have tiny droplets on the sub.

No, it's pretty much impossible to select a non fruiting strain.

If they didn't even fully colonize the sub they were more than a little bacterial.

You got any pics of the tub or the spawn or the agar?

Here are some from different tubs and such. I did do a top layer that's why the not full colonization didn't worry me too much, I remember getting fruits from similar tubs multiple times.













Fortunately I have another variety growing on agar now. I also was working with unideal WBS, then oats, those looked the most bacterial, now on just millet.

I do agar work, I vent my PC for 10-15 mins, I do 2 hours at 16 PSI. I made a larger SAB.

I've tried loosening the poly, but maybe I should be extreme? Single layer medical tape?

Yeah, that spawn was bacterial for sure and not just lightly. Wispy growth turning thick and milky around bare spots on grain, 100% bacterial.

You can see it carry over into the tub with the same sort of spotty growth and not just through the casing, the pic of the side shows it as well.

It might still fruit but you likely won't get very much.

Get working on the next batch

Agar doesn't look great either btw

Noted, thanks. Hopefully something still comes from this. Might need a big outdoor pile...

Is bacteria normally an issue during grain prep? Or agar work?

I shake at almost full colonization to see if they regroup, and they do.

Question here: I’ve been harvesting the McKennaii that I’m growing, and upon examination, not all the stumps left behind have been bruising blue. In fact, most have not. Is this an indication of a bad batch or something wrong with the fruits?

Eat some and get back to us on that. Squeeze some and see if they blue as well. Like meanly squeeze em like your ripping your cock a doodle doo

Thanks for the fast response!

This is the 5th transfer after sporeswab. Do you mean transfer to keep it going and put the rest to grain(the whole plate minus the little piece that I transferred to an other plate). Or do you mean transfer and then put to grain ? Why would I "keep it going" ?

Thanks in advance

I’d transfer a piece to keep your agar of that kind going just in case you somehow fuck it up between then and now. I wouldn’t do the whole plate maybe exclude the first 1/3 inch from the agar piece.

And yes transfer a piece of agar, send the rest of that agar to grain. Looks good b

IME blueing doesn't mean anything. I've had shrooms turn so blue they are almost black and others not blue at all or very little. Surprisingly the ones that didn't blue melted my face with a small dose. It's a shame I didn't clone them because they didn't blue, 😭.

Any rogue characters here tried dunking their shoeboxes for extended periods of time in between flushes? I had an emergency (a massive party) & ended up leaving a few submerged for like 30 hours.

Soggy blue cakes all round. Anyone done this before?
