Generally though, watch for the big one to drop spores on the ones below it.

Got my first little success with pan cyans.
Tried to fruit them inside bags, but failed.
Then i followed your advice and built a JCM tub for fruiting them:



First fruits:





Got two air pumps for this box. Each one pumps about 500 liters per hour.
Temperature is about 77 °F / 25 °C.
The lid got 1/4 inch holes on a 2.0 inch grid.
The only thing still missing is a fan to drop the humidity a little bit several times a day.
Every morning and every evening after the lid has a lot of condensation on it and there is pooling water on the myc.
Do you think a fan will fix it?



Some little areas of the casing layer got a screaming yellow color.
Could this be some kind of mold?



Would appreciate any help.

Faht doesn’t use a drip shield any longer.

I used a lid with 1/4” holes and it sucked. Same issue, dripped all over my fruits. Try using an unmodified tub lid.

Prop the front side up longer than the back side with blutac or whatever you use to prop the lid up. You’ll get condensation but it doesn’t drip into the trays anywhere near as much and the air still flows out the cracked lid.

He does still have holes in his lid though so idk how he avoids condensation drips now. Fan id have to assume?

Yeah I have a box fan on a cycle timer..  rn it’s on 2 minutes every 1.75 hours off.. still dialing that in.  I just take the lid off and shake it off into a 16qt tub once a day.  It’d be annoying if I wasn’t already checking in the trays anyway

Beautiful chonkers!

Thanks, Adas.
Tomorrow prints will be taken.

For some pan cyan grain spawn is it the same as with cubes for shaking? Wait like a nice 20% colony then shake?

Bisporus staying like this for about two weeks now. Unmodified tub. No knots yet. Should I be more patient or recase? I thought of recasing with grass seeds as treefrog decribed some posts ago.

Now after around 3 weeks finally I get this little guy. Just one pin but I'm really proud, my first bisporus pin ever . I hope it grows out and i can clone it. Also got some progress and fruits with pan jambo for the first time. My takeouts so far:

• Corn is the spawn I will continue to work with (thanks for the input treefrog).
  
• Low temperatures do work, my MS genetics of jambo and bisporus grow mostly between 63-68F now. This needs way more patience though.
  
• I seem to overmist my casing, then it gets kind of compressed too much, and the fruitbodies are having a hard time to poke through.
  
• Because of wintertime here, I tried a JCM-FruitingChamber setup, but got better success with unmodified tubs so far. I guess its a matter of dialing in that stuff. But I find it appealing to get as lowtek as possible and work with genetics, that don't mind that much (e.g. temperature and FAE).
  
• I love Puck Drops for inoculation.
  
• Teks might work in one environment and don't work in another. Shortcuts and impatience mostly don't help, but simplicity can.
  

Please take all of this with a grain of salt, here is a pan noob talking...


Thanks to everyone contributing here, It's such an awesome knowledge base and I can adapt so much also for different gourmet and medicinal mushroom projects.

About how long does it take for your TTBVI from spawn to 1st flush harvest?
