I have my first two bags of Reishi going rn and was hoping to get some quick feedback on how they look. They're still not fully colonized but turning very yellow on the top. Normal? Contam? Any suggestions would be much appreciated :rockon:



Looking good, the mycelium definitely could thicken up a bit more but since they are not fully colonized yet, I assume that will happen soon.

Reishi likes to fruit before full colonization so it is not uncommon for some discoloration of the mycelium in that phase. Later it can even turn brown or black

I'm used to cube mycelium, this is supposed to be Pink Oyster, I shook it about 3 or so days ago. Does this look okay?

I've received some pink oyster spawn, put it to agar and took a transfer of what I expected to be clean mycelium. The plate was pretty dirty since I just go a "baggy" filled with spawn lol...



Would you guys say this is pink oyster myc?

Sorry about the pic quality. It's super wispy and was hard to make my phone camera focus on :smile:

I'm going to guess these are toast? Super wet, the king blue oyster is have is just light and wispy.


I have little to no knowledge of what this is supposed to look like on grain.

The first two jars are definitely pretty wet, but I wouldn't rush to say that they're toast. I've run with jars that've looked just like yours. They turn out just fine. Oysters are pretty aggressive. If the growth stalls or you see any noticeable contam, then I'd say you're good to toss it.

The blues look just the opposite of your pinks: too dry.

We might have gotten the same LC as that is what mine looked like on agar as well. :hehehe:

I send mine to grain and they're growing on grain fine :shrug:

My plan is to put the grain to pasteurized straw in bags, let that colonize, then spawn some outside beds.

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback :cheers:

I already but them to grains as well but wanted to get a second opinion. It's hard when I haven't grown anything in a few years and currently having several different things on agar. My brain is only looking for rhizo cubensis "look" :laugh2:
Which i know isn't what gourmets look like:shrug:

I'm getting back into it all rral fast though.

Will need to slow down though as I have like 10 different species going currently.

I had my first success with logs this year (Lions mane, shiitake and oysters) so now I really want to do some beds.

I can get plenty of straw but currently trying to source some woodchips

I personally like to add a tad of agar. I use 0.1% (0.5gr per 500ml)  agar and 0.2% (1gr per 500ml) lme. The tiny bit of agar makes it so that the LC becomes viscous enough that the mycelium can "climb" up and really fill up the entire container. SSLC colonization times are also actually insane.

I bought a wine cap lc syringe from a sponsor here and tested the lc on agar. It looked good on 2 different plates.
I inoculated 3 jars of grain with the remaining lc and I'm getting different looking myc in each. Are any of these actually wine cap mycelium? I'm thinking the really thick looking one is cooked.

I have one jar going right now and the mycelium in my jar looks like the second photo.

Do you have a photo of the plates?
