Reishi antler care.
    #28555197 - 11/24/23 04:13 PM (2 months, 3 days ago)

My friends have a restaurant named reishi and bought some reishi antlers in a grow bag from a dude at a market. They want to display it in the restaurant but unsure how to care for it. I've tried googling and everything just tells you how to grow it, not how to care for the antlers.
I can build and was considering building a fancy wooden fruiting chamber with a glass front for it. Is this neccesary? Is it possible to just mist a few times a day?
Obviously due to it being in a restaurant, we don't want it going nasty. I can include pics if needed but just general advice would be wholly appreciated.
Mush love.

There's some reishi monotub grows around here if you look, something like that in a glass aquarium would be pretty cool.

If it's for display only, perhaps the antlers can be coated in something like polyurethane to keep them in good condition.

It's a vegan restaurant and I have this cool idea for an aquarium full of different exotics that people could literally choose the shrooms they want to eat, kind of like when people pick lobsters out of an aquarium.
That's something I plan on doing in the future but for now, I'd just love to keep this reishi alive. A little handmade wooden fc with a cute glass front and led lighting would be absolutely beautiful. I think it would work but i have zero experience with reishi. if you can find the threads, that would be awesome.
I'll have a look now for myself. Thanks for your input.
Edit: as for the polyurethane suggestion, no offence but i don't want to preserve it like that, we plan to just dry it out after a while and use it. I'm working on learning to grow it myself in the not too distant future.

You can just let them naturally dry out and then give them a couple of coats of polyurethane from a spray can. They'll stay beautiful forever. Without the polyurethane they look really dull. Not sure why that's an issue for you. You can just grow more reishi to use. It's super easy to grow

I like to grow them out of vases. I've sold a few and given a few as gifts. I got the idea from fungiflorist on Instagram.

He does absolutely beautiful work. He'll manipulate the light and make it zig zag in different directions. I wish I had that kind of time but I'm currently enslaved by mushrooms

Fuck me, dude. That shit is amazing!
You have inspired me beyond belief.
This is why i want to learn to grow them. These would look so fucking cool in our restaurant. And then we could just turn them into supplements for all our friends and customers.
I suppose I could always preserve a few, just really love fresh growing mush.
If you can provide any links or help to grow reishi myself, I would be forever grateful
Thank you so much.

I wasn't sure the best way to go about this so I kind of winged it and it's worked each time

I bought the culture "tf05" ganoderma multipileum from terrestrial fungi. I think you can buy ready to go spawn bags of this from Maine cap and stem.

I been making sawdust bags with 15 percent wheat bran at a moisture content around 60 percent and inoculating with grain spawn. As soon as the bags are covered in mycelium I break it up. It's important to do this as soon as the sawdust is covered in mycelium. If you wait a couple of days too long you'll never get it broken up. It will turn into a brick

Then I just pour the contents into a vase. I put the vase down into a 13 gallon white trash can and cover the top with clear plastic wrap. Then I put it under a light and wait

I was initially unsure if I needed to try to sterilize the vase and do all this in the lab but so far with this method I've had no failures.

Don’t even mist while they’re in the trash can? Beautiful fruits. Love how those grew straight up.

Should check out fungi florist on the mycogeeky podcast on YouTube he goes into detail there on how he does his shroom art with Reishi. Should also grow some different cultigens, there's even a black one. There's something about Reishi the energy that comes off them is friendly somehow.
