Oysters Love fresh air. Fruit em open air if you can keep em moist enough


Any particular tek or method you would recommend following for fruiting? I want to do 10 2-gal ziplocs, 5 with straw, 5 with hwfp/sawdust/soy hulls and see what happens. I’ll be fruiting them in a tent on shelves in small buckets I think, with an exhaust hooked up to outside. I’ll be running 2 ultrasonic humidifiers in a 6x8 tent.


Pasteurized straw is fine so you can spawn that one to buckets.  Or sterilize and colonize in the bag.  Cut a medium sized slit in the bag along the block once fully colonized or let consolidate for three weeksish if kings or black pearl.  Where depends on what species and probably strain too.  The strains I buy I fruit phoinex from a slit along a long side, top corner.  About 3/4 across the bag.  All this is how I do hwfp bags as well.  For King varieties cut the bag open under the patch and top fruit.

The bag keeps humidity good for pins but fae is a much bigger issue if you don't want leggy fruits.

I only grow black pearl inside for this reason.  But would do kings again I just prefer black pearl.  My tent is in my basement though so your mileage may vary.

Bag them in a paper bag or with a paper towel and dehydrate when you can.

I. Concerned I'm too much of a newbie to have any luck. My instincts tell me to go into the woods, but cyans grow in flower beds so idk where to look lol I'm not from around here.

Proposition 122 said:
Are ziplock bags sufficient for storing dried shrooms (thinking of air tightness here) or are mason jars better? Or something even better? I would use desiccant in both cases.


Unfortunately all ziplock type bags are permeable to air and moisture. Super handy for organizing and short term storage but no more.

Glass is king but remember to block light. Mylar bags such as Wallaby brand are very good. They come with zip-like closures and can be heat sealed. Toss in a desiccant and potency should be preserved for quite a while.


+1 for Glass, vac sealed, dark and cool. They make jar sealer attachments for vac sealers. Desiccant. Oxy absorbers are overkill but don't hurt anything imho, they also need some moisture to work so they fight with the desiccant (kind of).

I kind of like a middle ground. Just enough of a squeeze to hear some air leaving their body but not enough for them to feel threatened by it.

No clue but I have experienced the same. It will bead up once but once they are evaporated it's impossible to get the beads back.

I've 300 ml PE and 300 ml coir in that zip lock.
I could put 600 ml spawn to 600 ml coir in the next gallon zip I make.

I think I need to open up all the tape since everything has a perforated bag over it. I need to label stuff more

I want to thank whoever mentioned the Faht zip-lock idea. since ive committed to larger sterilite containers I can fit a ton of them in there and they are semi separated from cross contam

Ive noticed if the surface gets disturbed post colonization it wont form water beads. Probably the tiny little strands of myc get damaged and flattened. If it hasnt been disturbed i have no idea, never seen that.

Water beads are the result of a saturated substrate that can not hold any more water. or at-least it finds no where to absorb into the sub. afaik beading happens more so ontop of myc, much harder to notice on coir.

I've never worked with cakes but one mycoquart per shoebox works well for me.

I'd probably do one cake per shoebox.  It might be a bit light but I generally like to keep all my eggs in separate baskets.  So one bad jar doesn't ruin the whole grow.

3 cakes is fine. 1.5Q of coir plus a little top layer will work great. That’s at 1:2 ratio. I like to keep it there for shredded cakes.
