When I get home I’ll show you the T3 I’ve got. It’s like a ghost on the plate; very thin. But you’ve got what looks like good growth on that plate to me 👌

Couple luteus plate pins moving around…



Cased a tote of luteus and purpuratus today so we’ll see if they want to cooperate and collaborate…

Luteus looks a lot like semperviva on agar. That’s cool!

My coir only tub looks like it will wind up producing 6-10 fruits successfully.



The grains are also jumping off onto the wood quickly. Any experience putting grain to wood? Is there a waiting period after full colonization? Like to make sure it gets fully into the interior of the wood?



And here’s a pic of my F1 T3 plate :smile:

Gym purpuratus agar wedges to mix of wheat berries, HWFP and wood chips. It’s taken about a month to get this far at cool room temp around 60-62 F.





So what’s the consensus on fruiting conditions? Cool or warm? In a tub or in my gourmet tent? Maybe in a JCM? Where am I going from here guys? I got a few more jars a couple weeks behind these two, so I can experiment.

I'd go tent or JCM, tbh.  Couldn't get the right balance of FAE and moisture for them to mature in manual mode In a box.

Went from

To

Two flushes in a row.
Bet that JCM would kill for purpuratus.  Nice looking jars, btw.  They seem to pin when it's colder 55-60ish.  Very cool seeing someone run these so I can copy their homework :lol:

Edit for gym tax:

Luteus jars I G2Gd coming along quickly.  Gonna do a handful of small projects I think so I can see what takes without screwing the pooch all in one shot.

Too bad. That’s a crazy pinset. I was about to tear down the tent for cleaning, but I guess it can wait a few more weeks. I’ll try the tent and the JCM. I’m a little concerned about the temp in the JCM, about 74F for pans. We’ll see what happens.

Is there a lot of temp requirement variance between different gyms?

Mine are doing fine around 70-75° but will fruit in summer temps according to Piggy who got me the spores. Are some of them colder weather fruits?

All this tent talk is making me jealous. I’m using tubs. Feels like I’ve got rocks and sticks compared to some of you 😂

I just learning myself, but I thought they pinned better at lower temps like the 50’s? My tent is about 60, and my JCM is quite a bit warmer. I guess we’ll find out what they like? I might even cold shock a few jars like shiitake. I can’t find a lot of good info so I’m just trying shit to see what sticks.

^^^:manofapproval:
Yeah don't feel too bad Smelly.  I grow for four years here without even electricity (only actually got wired up last year) and still don't have a chamber or tent :lol:

As for the temp thing- I think only some really respond to the cooler temps for initiation.  Luteofolius fruited for me fine at 70+ degrees,  but purpuratus fruited only (it seemed - both when I got a few shifty fruits to mature in a Tupperware and the above pinset) after low 60s for like a week and 50s at night.  Dying to see someone else fruit another gym for just this question... Luteus will be done very soon though and finally got subspectabilis to germ as of today thanks to pucks (and thanks to Soloist) so hopefully we'll build this knowledge base up with this excellent thread.  Mr. Piggy is infallible as we all recognize :pope:so I fully trust his logic that they all probably eventually will just fruit in  whatever temperature,  tbh...  Makes sense when I read through iNaturalist observations and whatnot.

The strangled, starved fruits in the coir only tub aborted. More are coming in daily, and probably will until it trichs out or I throw it away. Having said that, there are some on the heels of the aborts that are looking better. Pointed upwards.

This is almost definitely a FAE issue. I don’t think it’s necessarily the substrate, but I suppose it could be the lack of wood.

Before you nuke that tub shobbit,  try floating block like 2 to 3day heavy soak , or even daily water change and float it. I think gyms need alot of water they are tough thick skin beasts and it cud be worth a shot.  Zaps seem love swamp conditions maybe I find gyms in swamps in wild for similar reasons

I wouldn’t be against floating the block, but I do have several other tubs going with more on the way. I’ll use this one to see how closely I can get conditions dialed in.  This is the new setup, and the remaining fruits are looking better for sure.





It’s just a 12Q dubbed water tub. I am playing with the idea of drilling some holes on the top tub, but they don’t perfectly align and create a seal. That might be enough air as is. But these fruits already look happier

The BRF germ cakes are fully colonized. They have been soaked and I'm going to send them as I usually do for cube cakes. Scemi-lumps™ 😆

Gyms are really liking the change in conditions.

Am I crazy, or is this long thin phenotype not typical? Most of what I’ve seen looks stouter. Again could be the coir only thing but idk.

The existing pins (closest to camera) have recovered and will open and drop spores, though I think the cap is going to be small. The newest pins (background) look WAY better. New tubs will go to a dubbed water tub from the jump.

Gymntlemen Prefer Blondes
(a ridiculous pun inspired project)
Progress Journal


💎 gymnopilus luteus 💎


I can't pass up a good bad pun so here we go. Let's find out how our little gymntlemen feel about blondes.

I'm attempting to cultivate gymnopilus luteus. To stay on theme I'll be using light colored materials like shredded wheat straw, aspen shavings and white millet. Starting off with some AIO jars.


pretty much guess work on the blend. Approximately 1 part aspen shavings to 3 parts straw well hydrated.


Prepared millet mixed in and ready for the PC.


I gave the jars a good shake after cooling. A small amount of water had accumulated at the bottom but it mixed in easily and hasn't pooled again. This mix is fluffy and easy to shake

T1s growing through an agar sandwich.






T2s bottom backlit view.







Open top view of the three plates I used.







Jars are inoculated and samples are expanded.
I used a half plate in each jar. Dropped in face down and gently shook to settle everything into place. I'll leave them alone for a while to jump off and recover.



Now we wait.
