So now that I am not keeping my totes sealed, and I have kept the lids upside down from spawning to bulk on all sizes of totes (32, 16 & 6 quart), what is the best way to monitor the amount of moisture and humidity in the totes?

My old method was keeping the lids sealed with the latches and keeping and eye on the moisture on the walls and lids of the totes.  When it looked the droplets looked sparse or drier than normal, I would mist the tote and mist the sides of the tote. I also use the large filter discs on the sides of my older totes which are 32qt (and 66qt which I am not using right now).  The 16 & 6 quart totes, I am just using the lids upside down.

If I soak a spent cake and then cut it into smaller chunks, is there a better chance of inoculation points from being cut up?


Why do you need more inoculation points?  Spent cakes arent vibrant and aggressive colonizers anymore and tend to be taken over ny bacteria when compromized

Trying to get more from less until my next tub is ready I guess. I’m pretty new to this so just spitballing.

Do They Fruit This Quickly?

The first 2 cakes birthed, dunked, rolled in coir, and placed in Water Tub on 6/6/25.













3 days later, 6/9/25.














+2 days, 6/11/25.









Some of the rings (veils) have broken. That means harvest and put into the dehydrator?

Do these look like "normal" GT's, or what you would expect to see?

Looks like normal cubes, good to go. Ones that have the veils broken can be harvested, others can be left to grow. THat does seem particularly fast but that is not an issue.

Your cakes were pinning when you birthed them and the small mushrooms got larger. They look normal.
When to harvest is up to you. Wait until spores start dropping if you want prints.

These shoeboxes  are 16 days old since I added the spawn to the substrate. I recently added lights and FAE. One of the tubs is showing some pillowy white blobs not sure what is going on. Hopefully the pictures came out OK and can be zoomed in.

They had no light or fae until recently?

Awsome! Thanks for your quick response!

Another quick question: I think I read that if the mushrooms are sliced before being dehydrated, they will dry more quickly. What is your experience about drying whole Vs sliced?

The dehydrator, Myco Labs Pro, instructions state that it's best to dry slowly on low heat and that there is no way to "over-dry" them. What has been your experience, and what would you suggest?

I only slice super thick mushrooms, everything gets dried for 24 hours. Taking longer arguably gives them more time to degrade.

My dehydrator only has one setting - on

I think 170 is standard?

I want to use peat moss when I case my next batch of pans but I'm confused over the fact that there are so many kinds of peat.

Are they all equally good or is there a specific kind  I need to look for?

I dry at 160f for 24 hours. I store in jars with desiccant and haven’t lost a jar to moisture yet.
There is continual debate on the subject. Have a read. Mushboy’s cracker dry comparison
