Are Gyms always slow at germing? Or do they just dislike the cold, or whatever?


My gym spores have all germed quickly. One print was maybe a year old? Hard to know as I got it from a friend who got it from a friend. And the second germ took 24 hours but the spores were from a fresh fruit

My print is about a year old, took a couple weeks to germ.

I have some gym spores that took well over a month. If the plate is old but clean and the spores haven't germinated, try taking some spores straight to LC and clean them up after

Any ideas whether gyms tend to dry on the heavy or light side?

I’ve always understood that is was best to make fresh tea and freeze. That they don’t hold up potency wise when dried.

Sh that’s a bummer. I guess I can run some tests in that regard.

Sending my first gym clones this week. This is a gym clone plate wedge sent to SSLC. Just posting the finished jar so people can see what it looks like when you noc a jar with gym LC, since morphology can be different. I don’t see a ton of difference here from wedge inoculations, but here it is anyway ❤️



Edit:
Meant to document. Sent that jar to bulk. Straight coir 1:2 with a top layer.

Sorry for the multiple posts. Did some grain to wood chips today. Making a post so we can see what the timeline is like. About half a mycoquart to a full mycoquart of wood chips.

Bro I’m glad you’re posting so much.
I gotta soft spot for gymns and I really love the effort to cult them.
I’m gonna join in once their season starts here and I can clone some fruits. No luck so far with my dirty prints, but that’s just me not trying hard tbh.

Gotta say I love your grain choice haha, sorghum innit? Sexy.
Been thinking about sifting my wbs honestly.
Have read Moria841’s thread about them? It’s really about foraging for them rather than culting them but a wealth of info nonetheless.

@Churp - did you ever get those going?  I could never get that damn junionis to germ,  but figured I'd pass the problem along :lol:  They definitely take a while unless super fresh.  Plus I have a strong suspicion that there is bacteriological intervention possibly involved with some of these germ issues...  My first to germ lately has been luteus.  You won't be able to see much other than my lazy ass grain prep lol but this is fully colonized
  One thing these shared with luteofolius was these sort of "hot spots" of denser myc in healthy jars. Otherwise extremely thin like lion's mane.  Camera won't show it right.  Closer look at the myc from my G2G of that 1/3pt to 3 qts

Finally got purpuratus to germ again too from Baba's spores from years ago.  Was surprised for sure.  That luteus myc smells INSANE btw.  Foresty and "mushroomy", like when you smell a profusion of fresh lactarius in a mossy understory.  Very interesting.

I am in love with the Gymnopilus myc smells. It’s like clean water and sweet forestry woodsy goodness. I’m always tub sniffin

Hey, so far nothing germinated. I gave some luteus spores a forced hydration treatment and spritzed those to agar. Guess three days ago.

My idea was to give them another week or so, then try again with pucks. I tested brf/chips pucks with ovoids and it worked pretty good.

The purpuratus swab produced some bacteria, for the rest the prints are actually very clean, they just don't produce anything . But we'll see. I have em on like 10 germ plates so something is almost bound to happen.

Sent to a shoebox on 1/18/25, the straight coir tub is pinning. No casing. Several pins, notably only on the drier parts of the surface. No side pins this time.



The substrates with added wood (Linked Here)have yielded no positive results so far. One triched out after full colonization, and the other is still going. After casing, it produced 3-4 tissue blobs not totally unlike PE blobs, but with less clear form. I’m letting the last one sit until it dies.

Do gyms like a little more fresh air?

These were all MS plates from my successful “A” culture. Definitely can still chalk this up to genetic variance in terms of which tubs failed and which succeeded. I’ll be taking clones and prints from this tub as well to run parallel with the first.


So I’m not sure this is going to actually produce any mature fruits. Lot of dead fruits in here. Lots of aborts. It’s a good sign that it was this aggressive, and I bet if it had been on some kind of wood it would have been awesome. It looks like I might get lucky with a couple of fruit, but I’m not counting on it. I’ll only clone of it drops spores.

It’s encouraging, though!



I will say even though they’re trying on coir, they don’t look happy about it at all

Seems in my very limited experience with those the first flush is more abort prone than subsequent flushes.  Wanna say it was Bobwastaken that echoed that in conversation.  Either way,  that's awesome Smelly:rockon:
  They do like their FAE.  Pin caps ideally are kind of like cubes if they have enough air going.

Sorry for the double post.  Just wanted to note that luteus bruises like luteofolius after a shake (had to wait for a WBR jar to show it properly)

I gave my gym tub more air and when I came home they had all dried up like jerky 😂

So there’s a middle ground between open air and closed lid. This was a dub tub offset by like an inch, so plenty of FAE. The mushrooms that survived like it.

Maybe I need to give it more air AND more moisture. Like putting it inside a bigger tub with some water in the bottom? Once I get something consistently pinning I can dial that in.

I forgot to mention, on the 22nd I sent probably the most convoluted tub configuration to date. This is like an ice cream sandwich: coir top AND bottom layer with the nutritive mix on the center. The bottom layer is very thin, just enough to keep the wood off the bottom of the tub. I had weird problems with the myc refusing to colonize the bottom of the substrate last time, so I did this to seal in moisture.



Substrate mix is 1:2 boiled sawdust:coir +2 cups of verm

Then it’s 1:3 spawn:sub

It is colonizing very quickly, almost as fast as the coir only tub. This is also the clone culture, so that probably plays a role. I’m not sure this configuration is in any way beneficial over something more straightforward. More tests with the same clone are underway.

I’m here because Smelly made me join the thread :smile:

Also, because Alaska sent me a Gym LF print 2 plus years ago that I germinated and transferred, but it sat in the back of my fridge for over 2 years, yet came back when transferred from the old plate to new!  I’m impressed with the resilience of this one.
