Has anyone successfully produced spores from enigma (using either dedikaryotization or di-mono mating) which reliably produces enigma-like phenotypes? There are few old threads that document getting basically 90% of the way to success but,there’s not a lot of info or follow up. I just feel like there would be a market for such spores but maybe no one cares :shrug:

Looks like there’s a spot where a drop fell onto it. You probably just knocked it and forgot.

I noticed your bubbles.
What kind of mix do you use?
I make my own PDA.
I’ve never had an issue with bubbles before.
If anything, I tend to go on the more stiff side. So mine tends to be almost a little too dry. But my genetics seem to like it.


As I said it was a first time pour, didnt get it to dissolve 100% so had chunks from first pour, I then shook it instead of swirl which forced the bubbles in. Disaster from start to finish, but learnt everything i shouldnt do, all in one go.

You should only sterilize manure if you're going to inoculate and let it colonize in sterile conditions, such as using jars like Muda in his bottle Tek. If you're going to spawn to bulk like with a monotub, which requires open-air inoculation/colonization, you'd need to pasteurize the manure.

This is what makes this anything but a disaster, sincerely. When I first started, I dove into everything at once, much to the dismay of certain posters. But as long as you temper expectations and pay attention to the fuck-ups, it can serve as a way to speedrun the learning process. It sounds like you're attentive enough to learn from the mistakes. Keep it up, man.

QQ: We use water agar hoping the myc can run away from bacteria and we can make a transfer from the leading edge, which is now hopefully clean. Right? Does water agar give our myc a running chance against mold infections? Thanks in advance.

Depends but not really. Molds tend to grow much faster than cubensis mycelium and once they're intertwined it's almost impossible to seperate the two. Couldn't hurt to at least try if you're trying to save some genetics and its the only sample you have.

Mmm... Thought so, but one can always hope, yeah? :grin: So, essentially, if you have entwined mold, burn infected stuff fast and far away from your grow room, yes?

I suspect a BRF puck will also not save you. Correct?

When it comes to mold on your shit there's not much you can do to guarantee anything but it couldn't hurt to try if you have rare stuff you want to save. Rare clones and the like. But hopefully you've made prints from your first grow so you can keep going back to spores as often as you need to to keep trying.

Once you've grown a lot you don't get too attached though. At what point does the effort required outweigh the cost of just going back to spores.

Yup, and in this case it is not a crisis. Nothing rare. I am learning to go from spore print to fruit. Maybe my print is bad - made it myself. I have several other prints, so will redo that print to agar, and probably take two or three other spore prints to agar as well. Should help me understand what part of my process is suspect.

Thanks for the feedback. Good luck with all your grows, peeps!

You mean on top of the whole grains?

You need whole grain spawn as a compononent and indeed most "all in one monotub" bags usually have sterile grain on the bottom layer which colonizes first then gets mixed with the sterile sub on top.

I'm curious, Why do you want to use dung and straw?

I've been re-educating myself after gaining my initial knowledge from what I now know are pretty obsolete sources.

With regards to going straight to fruiting and surface conditions without a colonisation period, do I need to do anything to my tubs surface before it's been colonised aside from just not letting it dry out?

I've attempted a 1:6 spawn to coir ratio using the psuedo casing layer method for the first time and the bottom of this casing layer is just about to be reached by the mycelium. I have the tub inside a larger one acting as a fruiting chamber with FAE holes on the outside.

Good evening.
I work a bunch, and was wondering if the light schedule is precise like cannabis and other photoperiod sensitive plants (Papaver as well).
I like to look at them before I go to work, and I do work after I come home like pressure cooker shit, or looking(I'm good at that!).
Would intermittent 12h be ok? A few hours in morning and some in evening?
Dank you


No, the lighting is not critical! Light is beneficial during the pinning stage because it seems to induce pinning. That said, you can get pins without it. During the fruiting stage, mushrooms use the light to know which way is up. If you grow mushrooms in the dark, they'll come out all squiggly and they'll be growing in every direction. Having a light on them will help them all grow straight.

I use some cheap LED tape I set up around my shoeboxes. Some days I never turn the lights on, other days they're on for 12 hours. It doesn't matter too much.

Light helps evaporation, even light that's not carrying a lot of heat.

More light (lumens) means more photons hitting those little water molecules on the surface of your substrate or casing.  The more of these collisions, the higher chance surface tension can break and evaporation can occur.

Mycelium likes light for a lot of other reasons according to papers I've read and posts I've seen around the shroomery.  So, when it's not a hassle, I give light to my jars etc. too.

This is true -- and that's why light induces pinning. Evaporation triggers pinning on the surface.

I would never advise anyone that light isn't necessary. For our purposes it makes sooo much of a difference. Inadequate light makes shrooms look shitty. If you put a fully colonized sub in its side with one side facing the indirect light source and the other facing away you will see better pinsets on the light facing side and significantly less on the side thats getting less light.
