You could also put the jar directly in your water tub or mono. To fruit as well. instead of putting a bag or another container on top. Whatever you prefer

I have two tubs of purple Mystic that I gave up on cuz they literally weren't doing anything since September 26th. Then I put them outside for 3 days cuz I had planned on putting them in my garden. Then somebody told me if I misted them  then they would probably fruit.

So I went back out and got them and brought them in and I did. And then today I've got some pin showing up in one tub!!! I'm super surprised. They were outside in 98° weather for 3 days.

So I'm guessing the spawn was extremely healthy?

lions mane is turning yellow and looks like it’s putting out metabolites. is this due to lack of fae or excess moisture or a combination of the two? first time growing lions mane and am trying an experimental water tub thing, so just wondering what i need to change.

LM will bruise yellow with pooling water and when it gets too dry. It's picky. :undecided: It also wants a ton of FAE so a water tub may not work too well. I'm fruiting some lion's mane bottles in a tub with aquarium bubble stones to add air while keeping it humid and it's still struggling ("reaching" spiky mycelium instead of tighter poofs).

Hope it works out! You can always use a perforated grocery bag over the tub (instead of a lid) to let in more air if needed. I'd leave it alone for now though.

ok will see how it goes for now and will switch to the grocery bag if necessary. i like the bubble stones idea, i’d be interested seeing the results from that. thanks for the input!

Cubensis right? You want to create conditions that will cause the fungus to start forming primordia or pins. I have a tent that I keep conditions humid in, but many strategies with cubes seem to use the moisture in the substrate to humidity as well. I've seen the top of a pop bottle put to good effect here. Something that will let a small amount of fresh air, the drop in CO2 and light.

Is this method of making "prints" from mushrooms that don't throw out spores a good idea?

I put a pair of swabs inside an autoclavable pouch, repeat 100 times, stick them all inside a jar, PC for 45 mins in my instant pot, cut open a pouch inside the SAB, swab the gills of the fruit, put swabs back into pouch, repeat however many times, and then seal all the pouches up with some masking tape.

To make a pair of swabs as clean as possible, I swab the same set of gills a second time with a fresh pair of swabs.

The paper backing helps dry the swabs out, and I feel like this is an easier way to collect spores from varieties that don't drop, and maintain cleanliness than the linked tek.

That's a lot of work when you can buy box 100 $5-$15. I prefer the
Plastic  shaft ones. Since the wood ones ALWAYS  break in the mail.

but if you're in a place that they're hard to come by.

I've wrapped q-tips in foil and pc in jar. Be  mindful of the unwrap so they can be rewrapped in the same foil.

Why is fanning tubs now considered outdated tek?

It makes sense becuase myc produces CO2 which is heavier than air so it *seems* it would pool in a tub that didn't have side holes or some sort of air flow. Therefore regular fanning is needed to push the CO2 out and replace it with fresh air/oxygen that the myc needs.

Hence fanning seems to make sense - is there now evidence that this makes no difference to FAE?

Thanks.

When I make wood blocks they look more like a bag of dough instead of a nice block. It doesn't seem to hamper the growth at all. Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

Growers spent less time fanning and the mushrooms fruited, then even less time and the mushrooms fruited then stopped fanning and the mushrooms fruited…..
What further evidence do you need?
I’m talking about cubensis here. Other genetics need/prefer additional air.

A tub should never be sealed,
and the smallest gap makes passive air exchange.
You don´t need a fan to push CO2 out.
Fanning needs more misting, which results in matted mycelium often.

Hello, I have a bag fruiting but I did not make any FAE slits. Should I open the bag for them to grow better? they are grown to top of bag now






I'm of the opinion that if something is fruiting well, don't change anything.

Just tried bringing grains to pressure on my 23qt, after venting, pressure wouldn't go up. I noticed that the top seal rubber thing was the culprit, air was escaping it. First time that has happened, normally if something is off it's a matter of ring seal and greasing it up.

Any insights? do I need a new seal? should i just let it cool down, press it down properly, then try again?

If you mean the small black plastic thing, give it a tap next time. It's supposed to pop up straight but once mine popped up a little crooked and wouldn't let my pc build pressure.

One good tap dislodged it
