Well, that was quick, popped the shiitake blocks in a large bucket of water and ice for 2-3 hours yesterday with a pot filled with water on top to keep them submerged and today 2 out of 3 have decent pins

Winning!

Got these from the farmers market and cloned them. Not a great bag, i forgot about it for a little while and didn’t give it enough air, but it’s giving me something to eat.

Do you guys wait for blue oyster to be fully grown or harvest a little before? This cluster looks like it could be good now but usually I wait another day past this point (about where the cluster behind the pinks are). I don’t eat them myself so idk if it affects flavor or anything.

Also the pinks got some darkness on top this time, I think the pins got too dry when I was messing with my settings.

I've let oysters get huge before because you know neglect and I haven't found it affects the flavor any differently than harvesting early or at the "appropriate" time.

Imo there comes a point when they stop gaining mass and only gain volume. I like to pick before that. Doesn't effect taste but the younger mushrooms have a much better shelf life.

Anyways you should eat some! I didn't like eating mushrooms until I started growing them. At this point I can eat 5lbs a week if I have extra

Shiitake doing ok, seem dry and a little small but these were the very first gourmet bags I made up this year and were 70/30 sawdust/soy hulls, nothing else added.

My lions mane started off fine but as they got bigger got the coral effect, I’m assuming they’re just producing more co2 as they get bigger, might have to drill more holes towards the bottom of the tub as I don’t have an exhaust just intake.



These things are absolutely huge though and the porous flesh is only on the surface and newer growth, inside is dense af so I don’t really mind, it’s all getting dried and powdered anyway.
Is it possible too much nutrition can cause this?
Or contribute anyway.

Ok that’s good to know. I guess kinda Iike with cubes at some point they stop growing and just start bloating with water.

That cluster of blues ended up being 1.8Lb I was shocked.


I just put some pearls into fruiting too, along with a clone from one of my first lions manes bags that I made since the original lc sucked. I think it was either old or temperature damaged in the mail because it was super slow and took forever to fruit, while my clone lc is performing normally so far. Fruiting on grain and underneath the filter on the colonizing blocks.

Fuck yeah, you got great pioppino fruits out of those bags!


Cheers man! Considering all my other efforts I’m kinda baffled :shrug:
deadmandave said:
Pios look excellent. The substrate is only wood pellets or sawdust treated with lime? What kind of spawn rate?


Those bags are basically 50/50 sawdust and soy hulls, 1/2 a cup of bran, a handful of gypsum and a tablespoon of lime, dry weight was about 3.2kg, after sterilising I split a 1 litre bag of grain between them, they're pretty big bags and I’m a go by feel rather than accurate measurements guy, cos I’m lazy and was kinda in the giving up on those damn pioppinos stage 😂
None of the bags with that exact same mix minus the lime have even pinned.
Here’s the tub I made with 50/50 lime pasteurised sawdust and coir

Fruits are just as big if not bigger but not as many, that’s with a whole 1ltr bag of grain, I’ll see how consecutive flushes pan out, misting regularly and keeping the lid askew for more fae seemed to help also.



Tried my hand at a tbsp lime into pio mm bags vs mm without lime. Two 10lb bags with 1tbsp lime  and one bag without lime.

No real difference in colonization speed or pinning times.

Without lime dropped a measly 7oz first flush which is low on the spectrum I see.

first bag with lime gave 16 oz on first flush so that's promising considering the first bag but nothing spectacular.

Second bag with lime (inoculated at the same time as the other two) is lagging behind and doesn't look impressive .. results inconclusive but I have a few more rounds set up to get a bigger sample.

So these guys have been maturing for almost 2 weeks. Is this normal for APEs?

Re: Post Your Gourmet Cultivation Picture of the Day [Re: rMag3don]

Yes ape is very slow, and those are probably ready to harvest.  Don’t be afraid to open the tub to take pictures either, once stuff is colonized it’s pretty safe from contamination.


This thread is for gourmet mushrooms though, here’s the one you want to post in

I’ve got a few more pioppino bags ready to pin so I’ll compare them also but it wasn’t a large enough range of experimentation to conclusively claim lime was what achieved results, being the only ones to fruit though is a good sign, I only got consecutive flushes after I’d dumped the subs in the garden too, going to take some time to figure these things out  :shrug:

Another exhaust fan bit the dust. This second flush lion’s mane grew with only once a day opening of the tent to get it some fresh air. Very open structure compared to the dense growth I normally see. I thought it was interesting.

My Pioppino have been hit or miss on second flushes also, I’ve had a couple do really good ones and couple do nothing.


So years ago I was sent LC from Meyers, there were pearl and blue oyster. I found one of the syringes with a couple CC left and one was labeled “oyster mushroom” so I assumed it was pearl.

Then the bag pinned with sky blue caps so I figured it must’ve been blues. , however they matured into this.




Pretty sure they’re blue oyster but :shrug:

I seem to be averaging 14oz per 5lb block which is lower than I wanted too.

Blues color is interesting. It kind of comes and goes. Starts very blue but as it ages it fades. Best was to preserve color is pick when they are vibrant and young.

Are you using masters? 14 is a little low for mm. I recently fruited a 5lb block of lions mane and it's yield was less than  the same substrate and spawn on 10lb blocks. Not sure if it was just coincidence .. but you may want to give 10lb blocks a try.  Could also be the culture.

I’m using hwfp with 15-20% bran added mostly.


I’ve never been able to find soy hulls here but I’ll probably need to figure that out if I’m gonna scale up.


Weird thing is this older blue culture in that last picture always grew very dark blue caps before. I’m sure sitting in a syringe in a drawer for a few years didn’t help at all either.


On the plus side my lions mane issues seem to be fixed. The lc I got took forever to colonize and like 10-14 days to fruit after cutting the bag.  I cloned a bit that fruited on a plate and made LC with it and now it’s behaving normally and fruiting much bigger also.

Couple little 2LB test bags

Pther things that affect color are temps and lighting. Good lighting lighting and low temps (hitting some lows in the mid 60's at least and staying below 74) will promote darker colors. Blues grown outdoors in spring and fall look the best.

Lm lookin good.

bran yields are not as good as MM unfortunately. im sick of shipping in soy hulls but it does work...
