About to perform my first ever harvest since the veils are separating. These are golden halos.

Do they look small? Maybe my perception is off when looking at pictures. Even this picture they look kinda big but with the tape measure all the caps are smaller than an inch. I don’t know what’s normal lol.

Seems about normal sized for a shoebox

What was the spawn ratio?

Some shrooms are small and that's okay.

It doesn't make you any less of a grower.

And if the kids at school pick on you for the size of your shrooms... well, they're just jealous is all... :hug:

Haha thanks guys. Spawn ratio is 1:1 with .5 pseudo casing. I was thinking of using more coco coir for my next shoeboxes.

Cybork, I did some web digging. The difference I see in pearled vs hulled barley dry weight is so close I would use the pearled barley recipe. Hulled barley is denser so maybe add 10% water instead of 25% as I said before. I'm just spitballin' here. I'd be confident enough with this to give it a go. However, I'm a foolish man in a strange land.


I appreciate the effort.

I just did some testing, and weighted 1 tbsp of my UNhulled barley. Seems to weigh 10-12 gr.

Looking at Joshitrainer's Guide (https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/28052502#28052502), a 1:1 seems to be propagated, if I take Rye and Wheat as comparison.

This is what's written there:
"
Rye            2Tbsp:22ml      1 1/3C:230ml
(...)
Wheat          2Tbsp:22ml      1 1/3C:240ml
"

My 1 TBSP averages to 11, so 2x11 = unhulled barley à 22gr:22ml(=22gr).

Anyway, thanks!

Please let me know if my math make sense. Starting with the recipe in 10 minutes :smile:

And now thinking of doing all 1:0.5, 1:0.75 and 1:1 with this barley, and see what's happening.


This is a big reason im not a fan of no prep grains.

Only time i tried i ended up with wet grains on bottom and dry grains on top. Then someone told me it works better for smaller jars... so nah, ill stick to a boil so i dont have to fill my pc with pints

I run 1:1 and 1:2 a lot and my shrooms are usually similar size depending on genetics and other factors

I tried pcing dry grain with water more than once. I've always gotten shitty results from it. I much prefer to just boil grain until hydrated. Quick dry with some fans, load into jars or bags and sterlize them

As Yoshi noted in his tek the grains on the bottom will be wetter. He says "it doesn't matter." My experience agrees with this. It has never been a problem. If you want you can shake the jars after PC-ing and have a more uniform consistency. But it doesn't matter.
My 2-cents

Hi LotKid
Just read your PE tips. Are you still going with the same recipe for your casing layer?
Great tips BTW :heart:

If you wanna respect and keep another person anonymous but don't wanna seem rude or unappreciative,
is it rude or disrespectful for not "shouting out" or mentioning the source if a user donated oyster cultures to you and you actually DO document it??

Thanks.

If i'm going that route then i make that casing the same.

That write up is for when you have troubles with blobs. Just some things to try in hopes to beat the blobs.

But these days i really like supplemented substrate bags. And i seem to get good non-blob results from swpe on those without casing.

anyone ever freeze dry fresh mushies?? always been curious how thatd turn out


Lots of people have and apparently it holds a higher potency on average but I’ve heard they also crumble easily, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing sometimes.


sweet ill search around. i thought it might be good for long term storage and just cool looking. maybe toss them in some sour cream n onion powder and see what it do

Unless you're willing to spend a few grand or you found one growing on a street corner... freeze drying is usually cost prohibitive

why hulled barley? no prep teks can be a little less forgiving on the structure of the grain as it is. sounds like a mushy mess. u have access to millet? fairs decently well with no prep and even better with a 24 hour soak and simple strain. jus my two cents


It appears I meant unhulled barley, so WITH the stuff around them still. I made, once again, a translation error.


ahh gotcha. that sounds better. if it still sucks and youre dead set on a no prep or minimal prep, id again highly recommend white proso millet. no need to boil. just a soak and quick strain then load in bags/jars. makes life super duper easy
