I read that as a summarization of used materials for all species, no specifics given for individual substrates.

Sorry to barge in, total noob here, but the difficulty would be keeping the indoor temperature below 16°C/62°F for fruiting? I'm asking because it doesn't sound too challenging in winter in temperate climates.

Has anyone tried adding molasses or just sugar to their fermenting chips to speed up the process? It's standard practice for compost tea. Obviously we wouldn't want any left over sugars to invite trich but I'm pretty sure it'd all get eaten up pretty quickly by the anaerobes. Just curious if anyone's tried it before.

Hey y'all does anyone here have experience with Gandalfiana? I was gifted a culture on agar. I grew out several plates and just 'nocced up a dozen jars with agar wedges. I've never done any woodlovers with agar to grain before. Usually I make LC first but I decided to just throw in some wedges because I couldn't find any of my magnetic stir bars. Should I shake the jars and at what point in the colonization? I've found some woodlovers don't recover well after shaking, but Gandalfiana is new to me so I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance

As with fermenting or composting anything, a little addendum might have heavy consequences. I mean if you ever pissed on composting horse dung...
But no. The idea of fermentation is to have all easily available food (sugars) eaten and creating a playing field of non-competitive organisms. By adding sugars you create more opportunities for competition. Also for practical purposes compost tea is strictly aerobic and cold pasteurization is anaerobic. You try to strangle oxygen-dependent organisms. The more fuel you add to any anaerobic process, the higher the likelyhood you're fermenting some really nasty stuff (starting with methanol) in there. This isn't of benefit to your mushrooms.

Cyans indoor growing step by step tutorial [Re: catnip40]
    #29135292 -

I have been browsing around for a tutorial on how to grow cyans indoors (will be my first day at the job too) but found none, so I'd really appreciate the comments of y'all on how the following is not a genius idea:

Suppose you already have colonized grain jars and a room that's like 15C/60F in December.
Then you make several shoeboxes in late August using the cellar guy's lasagna Tek (alternating layer of spawn and wood chips that've been soaking for a couple of weeks). Then, in late November you dunk the myc, put back on the shoeboxes and put them to fruit in water tub. Wait a month and harvest canopies.

Also do wood shavings work as well as wood chips?

Thanks in advance!

Fully indoor woodlover notes, experiments, observations and ideas

Pics from like the 90s lol


Unless you are hard set on cyans there's a few warmer temps woodlovers that would be probably easier to tinker with

Thank you! 🙏

A kind soul is sending a cyan print my way, so I have to spread the myc. Also, I don't know that I could get those indian ones. But today it was 16C/61F at 9AM in my crib so I don't think temperature will be my main concern 😅

I have tried cyans indoors in several setups, but never had succes. Also in 10 *C rooms, with a led light on it in the fridge, etc. If you don't have a garden, you can make an outdoor bed in a park, or forest. They perform really good outdoors.

Do you guys think there is any benefit to putting hydrated straw ontop of a woodlover bed. Something like this: Woodchips -> Thin layer of dirt -> Hydrated Straw.

I'm going to be using straw anyways to try to keep the bed alive through the harsh winters in my area, but I'm unsure when to add it.

I have a small terrace, but I thought humidity would be more easily controlled indoors.

No, a large shaded planter with a few buckets of colonized chips thrown in will stand much better chances.

I used straw last winter to cover my beds and it worked ok for a while but by the springtime it was all compacted into a wet slimy anaerobic mess. I removed it as as soon as I noticed and a couple patches survived anyway but the rest all grew little parasol mushrooms, Mycena I think, that probably came along with the straw. This time I used alder wood shavings instead and I was still getting small late flushes under the snow in January. So yeah I don't recommend straw but wood shavings are great as a cover material.

On shaking woodlover jars:
I've had some species that didn't recover well after shaking, they usually did eventually, but none of the woodlovers I've dealt with recover in a day or two like cubes do.

I’ve noticed that too in the early stages of colonization, but then they turn a corner and it’s not a problem anymore. Once they’re like half way colonized

I've noticed the same thing with Caerulipes in particular, I thought it may have been bacterial contamination but it doesn't smell like sour ass, just seems to damage the mycelium quite a bit. Caeruleorhiza also was not a fan of shaking but its making a come back after like two weeks lol.

Back when I was younger, I didn't have a clue, and come to think of it, I still doubt I do.
