Good grief... I have entirely too many mushrooms and my dehydrator is trying to keep up to the point they are too mature by the time I have room in the dehydrator. Suggestions?


I way over did this... I guess it's a good problem but don't want any to do to waste


Paper bag in the fridge, or mod your dehydrator

Thank you all for the tips, I might get me a teddy bear to massacre.

I can't find good jar filter materials in my country, but maybe I stumbled on something. I ordered several types of non-woven polyester padding for clothes or bags, and one is very thick and dense, about 3-4 mm, should be 260 g/m2. It stretches when I pull it apart, but it doesn't tear. I'll get around to testing it soon, but does it even look like something that could work?





So this is a link in a link in the HHG. Might do you well if you've got the patience to do it

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19938845


This is what got me looking for alternatives and buying the sheet in the photo, it's already a thick, dense mat of polyester. I'll try to iron a small piece of it to see if it compacts even further.

I do have tyvek and used it, but I need other alternatives too. The issue could be my PC, but it will take more attempts to narrow it down.

How far out from bucket tek for coir is it usable? I poured boiling water into my coir at the correct ratio about a month or two ago into an igloo cooler. It'll probably a tad drier than usual so I've mixed my manure (for pans) up a bit wetter, but I'm curious if I should pasturize before continuing with the coir.

Mh typical procedure is pasturize the manure separately, then mix in coir to my ratio, and add my grain to spawn to bulk.


--------------------
My posts are long winded and dense.
Supplemented coir experiments< Currently ongoing spring 2026.

~Agar~ 1000mL water = 1000g water. use ~1% agar...1% of 1000g is 10g.  For cubes, use between 1-2% nutes (10-20g). For pans use 0.5% nutes (5g).

Very curious about this was literally going to be my next question in this topic because I have so many simultaneous things growing (first timer here) that I made excess CVG mixture I kept inside the Lowes bucket and didn't throw away yet wondering if I could utilize it for the next jars that are about to be ready in four or five days.

I have had coir sit for 6 months and it was fine. If your spawn is clean you'll be fine.

So if I put food coloring in a LC, is it possible that the mycelium will discolor the LC and the same mycelium will also change color?






PD: I attached the photo of a LC that I have, the seller apparently used blue food coloring, and the mycelium started to grow red. Currently the LC is growing in a jar, the mycelium is healthy and growing after 7 days of grain inoculation

1:1 shoebox with questionable spawn. 1/2" top layer of coir, spawned on 7/28. It looks to be doing great, as far as I can tell, but I was pretty conservative with the water due to the probability of bacterial spawn and was wondering if the more experienced thinks this looks perfectly on track or if I should dial up the misting. Ive just been giving it a quick spritz once a day, for the sake of replenishing any evaporation (AC needs to run around the clock). And if it looks good as is, then I guess it would confirm I didnt shit the bed here. Appreciate ya!

If properly hydrated, there should be tiny droplets that are formed over the surface. I don’t see those.
The choir also looks rather red and dry. It should look a little bit more dark.

Since it’s not done colonizing, I’d be quite concerned, having to open the container every day.

Sorry for posting these pics again, but can anyone identify this contamination? The spawn is rubbery and smells vaguely alcoholic and sweet. Is this maybe not a bacteria situation but a yeast situation?

I understood the water beading as an indicator of proper conditions on the mycelium itself, once fully colonized. I likely misunderstood or thought too hard about it. Ill hammer that top layer with the spray bottle and then just leave it alone. I took the coir below field capacity due to bacterial concerns. That box was spawned on the 28th and has only what you see in the pic left to colonize, so I'm going to assume my bacteria concerns were overblown. Theres no visible patches of uncolonized sub, so fingers crossed anyway. Im gonna water the surface and hope for the best! Appreciate ya, amigo.

Just made a connection at the farmers' market for bulk grains. They offer wheat, oats, rye, and I think spelt? all at $3/lb, and einkorn at $4. What does the hivemind like out of these options?

I would look around more cuz thats quite expensive for grain. In the states at least you can get a 50lb bag of oats for like 20 bucks…. 50lb bag at $3 a pound is $150? That’s crazy in my opinion.

I'm sure that prices vary a lot depending on the country and even region, but that seems way too expensive. In my country I can get bio rye (which could be an issue in itself) for about $3/kg (2.2 lbs). Non-bio rye is $1.50/kg. Bird feed millet is $0.85/kg.

Those sound like good food.  especially the einkorn, eat that.

for spawn, if you want organic, go to a food co-op or bulk food store, and ask to special order a bag of rye.  They should give you 10-15% off shelf price.

That's usually around $1-1.5/lb in oregon.

Hey friends,

Will a pasty ezdial mono work as a water tub for cakes or should I use an unmodded with the lid tilted?

Yes, ezdial bottom watered will work.
But you'll have to fill up the tub with cakes, otherwise they will dry out. The microclimate is produced by the heat/breathing/evaporation of the mycelium/cake, so put a substantial living mass inside.
If you don't have enough cakes, use a Ziplock bag with some needle holes for FAE; you can even raise the cake and water the bottom.

Bummer. I don't have a ton of cakes to fruit so I guess I'll put them in a smaller unmodified then. Thanks duder
