I believe the technical term is Confusedereedoo, but only if it's from the Reedoo part of Australia. Otherwise it's sparkling confusion

Bottom of my semp boxes look like this. I assume this is a red flag and not just some wonky semp behavior?

I'm far from an expert but from my very limited experience, those uncolonized parts are contaminated. Doesn't mean you won't get shrooms, but it'll probably be overrun sooner rather than later.

Those pseudosclerotia things are normal however

Those spots started out colonized and then went a weird brownish color. Ive had cubes do something similar if not exactly this, and then major contamination isn't far behind. Spawn looked damn good too, so idk...probably more subs for the outdoors.🤣

Looking for advice on casing, moisture levels......

Shoeboxes spawned to bulk 6/12 with wbs (mostly millet).  Fully colonized clean looking jars from agar plates made from culture wedge from callmehippie.  Everything looked good.

Substrate is hydrated (with boiling water) coir that is a little under field capacity.  6qt shoeboxes with lids snapped down while colonizing. Ratio is about 1:2.5 spawn to sub
.






This is first time I've opened boxes to peek. 

I think things are on the dry side.  When to case, mist surface, mist sides and top of box, crack lid, etc........  Just looking for some sage advice now that I've good known good genetics.  Really want to get some fruits.

I have peat moss, vermiculite and jiffy mix to case with so whichever of mix of the above is better is up for discussion too.

The walls look like they have moisture, no?

That pretty high spawn ratio but it sure shows with the speed...
1 myco quart each??

A day or two you'll be good to case for sure but that thing looks like it'll be knotting with in the week.

Try different casings if your feeling froggy. Verm only , jiffy, peat/verm (adjusted ph)...
So many options...


Excited to see the progress.

Edit:

Should have used that spray paint for flames to make it go faster

Is it C/V sub?

Definitely suspect.... what's the date on it?

But likely to still fruit just don't count on 10 flushes

It is a quart jar per shoebox, but I make my quarts small to leave more room for shaking and g2g (which I don't do a whole lot of, but did a lot with lions mane).  They are more like 2/3 of a quart.

There is a little moisture on the walls. Not any beading on surface like I have with cubes and ochras. 

I've got all 3 of those casing options on hand.  I've read on here to limit fae and keep on drier side until they fruit.  Then still don't do too much fae (makes sense since they grow slow), but start misting once the fruits get a little bigger.

I'll just be happy to see pins.  My other subtrop genetics from a vendor grow well on grain, but I haven't seen the first pin........

Haha on the paint.  Those are old shoeboxes from when I was growing cubes and doing different crap to avoid side pins.  I have learned that light is not the only trigger of side or bottom pinning :smile:

I know this has been covered in the thread......but since some of you are working with these specific genetics......casing at or below field capacity?  Mist after casing? 

The peat verm I have is a bunch I pH adjusted with oyster shell calcium and sterlized in jars.  I know you don't have to sterilize casing, but I did and I have it.

Have some vermiculite at field capacity that I pasteurized and it is stting in vacuum sealed bags for 2 months or so.

New unopened bag of jiffy mix.

I can pasteurize some peat/verm and adjust with pickling lime or ca carbonate.

If yall will let me know what kind of casing you used I'll do it.

Thanks again to all. 

On another note, after doing 1 tablespoon of myceliated grain tea on saturday am,  gonna go ahead and prepare 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) and drink half of it and decide whether to consume the other half depending on how it feels.  Gonna do that early tomorrow morning.

Straight coir spawned 5/29. Hopefully I get a little something out of it anyway.

Any accepted name is always an accepted name.

Pick a name you like and say that name. It's accurate.

the brown spots are normal. some semperviva cultures do that. imo its some kind of depot similar to sclerotia.
nothing to worry about, looks funky though

Exact definition of Myco Quart :awesomenod:


Re: fae...

I feel that once they're going as much FAE as you can  give them WHILST still maintaining high humidity (not letting the caps dry out ) is ideal though they're still quite forgiving/not too picky.


Would like to hear other opinions ...?

Casings I would try different ones and different ones require different approaches:

Verm is (probably) best to have hydrated beforehand and checked by squeeze due to hard to gauge visually...

The jiffy might be easier to evenly sprinkle on the drier side then mist.


There's a million ways to culture a conundrum, figure out what's easiest/best for you is part of the fun and  I wouldn't want to rob you of that experience.


Shit half of mine pin before I get a casing on them so:shrug:

I wouldn't mind being robbed of the experience sometimes.  Thanks for the kind help.  I'll get them cased this afternoon in various ways.  If even 1 shoebox fruits decently that will be awesome. 

I've got a big walden active grow tent I can stick them in if that helps. My pans did not like the tent.  I did better with them in a humidity dome that was cocked a bit and misting them twice a day.

I use that tent for lion's mane and oysters.  Finally figured out that the cheap bbq pellets from walmart were messing up my grows. Once I switched to master's mix from mushroommedia, ended up with more lions mane than my wife wants to cook :smile:

Definitely worth a shot to try both ways ... they've do great in a water tub with air stone and small disk humidifier as well as just a modified sb.

All of my outdoor grows have been fucked by mice, snails, gnats etc. An exceptionally heavy year on the critters. Had wild plans, but eh.

To add to that I haven't been at home much and it's only getting worse. For the festival season I'll switch to just casing jars of grain. Keep them in a water tub that can mitigate the neglect...
