Wavy Cap Gestation Period
    #28664122 - 02/17/24 03:52 PM (10 months, 24 days ago)

Hello all,
A friend of mine and I are trying to grow wavy caps. We are dealing with a grain bag that has been injected. There was some initial activity, which has since died down. To the point where it almost looks as though we are looking at a brand new grain bag now, as if it were never injected.
We do see some chunks of mycelium growth.

Was looking for some suggestions.
Is it over? Was a good try but its all over now, move on?
Take the chunks of mycelium, extract a few samples and put them in agar and then back in a new grain bag?

Appreciate your feedback.

Im assuming you started from agar in the first place? If so the LC couldve been bad. Id streak some new plates. I know its not much help but just so you know what to expect, my wavy caps colonized agar and grain jars identically to cubes. Took the same amount of time. They recovered slightly slower after a shake and the myc looked distinct on agar, but aside from that same as cubes so far.

Thank you, this information is helpful.

Since you are further along in the process I was hoping you might be able to answer a few other questions about the environment.

How are you growing them, is it an outdoor or an indoor grow.

What substrate and casing layer are you using?

What temperature are you trying to fruit them at?


Really appreciate your time.

Im planning on growing them outside. Im in NYC. Started with spores on 1.5% LMEA. Inoculated wbs in quart jars. Room temps around 67-72F this time of year. Planning on spawning to sterilized hard woodchips then making a patch outside.

Ive never grown them before. I think Im supposed to create a patch outside and then expect mushrooms in a year or two.

That looks amazing, nicely done.
Thank you for sharing.

What does LMEA stand for?
I am a noob.

Good luck on your grow!

was that grain bag inoculated with spores or an agar wedge?

If you do agar, then start with spores to agar
