Having trouble getting a Panaeolus tropicalis (maybe a cyan, but pretty sure tropicalis) to fruit in small cups.

Any reason not to just continue to mist and giving FAE? If I stop misting the substrate seems to get too dry.

What temperature are you trying to pin them at?

Also, if the casing is oversaturated they won't pin. Lately I've been waiting on fae until after knots and first flush initials. So I can keep the humidity very high without having to water.

They don't really need high evaporation until the caps are maturing.

Imagine the conditions in a lawn. Very close to the surface where the grass is the humidity is going to be very high. They push the mushrooms up over the tops of the grass, where they caps get more evaporation.

74-78 F. When I am not there the cups are in shoebox tubs in dark at 78F. If I am there I try to give them FAE and light and mist at 75F or so. Sometimes i put the shoebox lids on.

I am attempting with a fertilized moisture control soil with no pressure cooking. Attempting some type of mudafuka bottle variation with small yogurt cups sometimes placed into a bigger 32 oz yogurt container with the clear plastic lid to allow light and sometimes I crack the lid or leave the lid off and just place it inside the mini showbox tub.

I started like 4 weeks ago, running multiple experiments. A few look promising, resembling like frosted brownies with decent growth on the top. It almost looks like small pins are beneath the mycelium wanting to break out but are waiting for the right conditions, can't tell for sure though. IDK if I need to incorporate some bottom watering with a straw or what. Or if more regular misting from above will suffice. I had 1 actual pin but I messed up and dropped the cup and the neighboring mycelium chunked out and then I guess it lost its life support and collapsed. I transferred the failed tissue and chunked-out mycelium to another cup in a 50:50 ratio and growth looks decent but a little stagnant. May put it back in the dark.

I'll try to lay off as much FAE and go back to more GE until I get pin confirmations. I got busy for a few days and couldnt give FAE or GE besides what was in the mini-tub, and one experiment I had in a jar grew a white slime fungi with vein-like characteristics, so I guess that jar is failed.

I only have like 4 or 5 more small cups that could yield. If I can just get a few solid fruits I'm certain the spores from this fruit would have a better chance of thriving under my parameters.

I took a clone of one that appeared to be sporeless. Yesterday I took the cleanest part from the T0 plate and transfered to a cabin. Here is a pic of that fruit. Notice the dark gills of the other fruits in the pic.

If you are plates are free of contam after 3 days can you assume they are good to inoculate ? Or should wait longer ?

There is no need for me to keep aluminum foil on my grain jars after I put the agar in right?

The foil keeps your filter dry during the PC cycle. You can discard or set aside for reuse after you knock up your jars. Keep the foil on until you have the jars in your SAB or in front of your FFU. Keeps the lid "clean" until they are ready to use.

I have the holes taped with paper tape (generic micropore). Do you think it's time to open a few?

A bit early to open up micropore tape IMO and IME with upping the FAE, I'd wait till after pins form but you can if you want, keep an eye on the humidity levels though. Misting a little might benefit more me thinks.

I just pruned my maple tree, do i need to wait for the leaves to fall off to inoculate it with oysters?

I'm seeing some cracking and your surface is looking dry color wise. Maybe time to spray.

Thanks Wedgie and GC! I was considering that. So, keep the top layer moist to allow it to colonize. Got it.

When you got your coir ready, did you squeeze it to make sure it was at the right consistency and not a little too dry?

seems aight but maybe just watch it. seems like you cracked the surface maybe when you moved it. it happens sometimes when you compact the substrate. but ya. watch it. dont let it dry out is all.

GC- Yes, I did. I made a small mistake and forgot to cover the holes with tape for a few days after S2B. Could have dried a little during that time. I went and gave them a light misting a few mins ago. Just enough to darken the coir.

Beef- Thanks! I'll keep an eye on it.

This is directed at those who make tea and gummies. So I got this big bag of all the end of shrooms I cut of after harvesting as well as side and bottom shrooms that were covered with coir. I dehydrate them as I go and then just toss them in this bag. I started picking all the coir off and grinding it off on one of the dehydrator mats. I am thinking of making a tea for gummies with all of this. It’s very time consuming and it’s not perfect.

My question is can I leave the coir on and make the tea for the gummies or continue what I’m doing to get them as clean as possible?
