I went overboard on the plants here so the pin set wasn't great, but these were mostly open air-fruirted in our sunroom.

And this is a species of pans that a lot of folks struggle with even more than cyans.


This is REALLY cool. Exactly the kind of thing I would like to do. Are those just regular musbrooms?

I need to grow some grass like that too on it’s own my cats love it!

Been reading a lot of the beginner teks, following along with Bods unmodified tub. In that one he just dumps his jars of spawn straight into the tub and mixes it with the coir. Is this the best common practice or is there usually a layer of coir or perlite or something on the bottom of a grow tub.

Seems like his grew pretty well without any kind of holes in the tub and just using the upside down lid to “vent”. Is this typically enough air without using holes?

Have not bought my spawn material yet so if anyone has any suggestions for B+ I’m listening.


This is a unBODified 32qt tub spawned with 4x myco quarts to 8x coco coir, with a top layer of coir to cover exposed grains.


I also use unmodified 6qt shoeboxes all the time. If you set your field capacity right, you can just set them and forget them.

It does take a bit of trial and error to figure that part out.

You’re probably right I should maybe pump the brakes lol. Im actually more Interested in making small terrariums similar to what tree frog posted. Once I get them dialed in I can give them as gifts.

I just put a hose into the bottom of it and floated the sub to the top, then used a knife to slice them off at the base.



Kinda barbaric, but the sub is currently on its 3rd flush with no contamination so :shrug:

Thanks gang. Just made my SAB ton. I plan on making my agar plates tomorrow, letting them sit overnight to make sure I didn’t screw anything up with the Agar. Than I’m going to inoculate on Thursday.


It helps to leave one or two wrapped (un inoculated) as a control for a week or so.

That's Panaeolus Bisorus.  My favorite fungi friends (also pictured in my signature on the left and right).

But I'm positive you could do the same thing with cubes.

A couple more questions for whoever can help. I was told I can get four pint jars in comfortably in the 6qt insta pot I have. How many jars should I be prepared to use. I was thinking of using a 36 qt tub to grown in but haven’t committed yet.

Also I have seen videos of people doing the 3 hr cycle with the jars to sterilize and a 10hr or more to pasteurize. Is this necessary to do a 10 hr cycle I haven’t seen a lot of mention of it on here.

Ok I am glad I asked lol. I still have to buy jars but I ahve a bunch lying around at home I guess I should confirm which size fits

Edit: Went back and checked and I was actually told four pint jars will fit but a Qt jar is too big to stand up.

For pasteurization of large substrates yes, ppl do 10 hrs or so with stirring every so often.


With an instant pot you'll need longer than normal recommended times for  that are given for P.C.s

I wouldn't advise on a single LARGE tub as a first go.

Rather like Cat said smaller tubs.

I've done 1 pint spawn per shoebox before.  Normal is a qrt tho.

Thanks again. That is what I will do.

Do you have a recommendation on qt size I should be looking for? I am growing in my room and was actually hoping to find something I can store under the bed in a pinch anyway.

This is where I started with growing in bulk, and I honestly still use it fairly often.

3 wide mouth pint jars fit in my 6 quart Instant pot. My wide mouth pint jars are shorter than standard mouth pint jars.

Edit: adjusting the trivet handles down let’s 4 wide mouth pint jars fit.

I don't know if your jars are bigger or I'm just more willing to squeeze them in... I always fit 4 pint jars. The other day I processed 2 pints and 3 stacks of 2 4-oz jars. This is with the trivet it came with, so takes a little experimentation to arrange the jars around the trivet handles (though as I'm writing this, I think the handles could be folded under the trivet).
