First (of many) trays grown entirely in a ziplock..


Edging closer and closer to doing a write up.  Just gotta make sure it’s consistently repeatable.  Also playing with worm castings ratios to see what I like best.  This tray had a 1/4 cup of wc’s with the rest being cv+ at Mojave’s ratios.  I have some trays pinning that have 1/2 cup wc and a few trays almost done colonizing with 1 cup wc w/o the fertilizer.  I expect to settle on the 1/2 cup w/ferts but we’ll see

I think Pans would be cultivated more if newbies didn’t see a bunch of complicated and expensive equipment needed for dialing in unique growth and fruiting parameters.

Looks like you have some very healthy and robust grows in your ‘ziplock tek’ trials.

I was working on a desktop ‘rotisserie chicken tek’ before I dipped out of here for a few years.
I should complete the write up. It is not a great tek, but it’s ok for a personal grow and for a person to try pans without a big investment in time or gear.











This is that plastic container that rotisserie chickens at Costco or Grocery Stores are sold in.  It looks like you might be using a similar bottom tray.  I have made some modifications to the clear plastic lid to create the right fresh air exchange / humidity / evaporative balance.

Unless a person has a cold house or you have a variety that only likes to fruit at higher temperatures - this thing works at room temperature (68-75 F).

Nice.  Yeah heat is a limiting factor.  Room temp or above is a requirement.  The thing I like about the ziplocks is how easily modified they are.  Literally takes a minute to put many tiny holes in the bag.



Took me longer to post those pics than it would to make the bag lol.  Bags are 100% reusable too.  Just turn em inside out and wash em in a large cutting board.

The big factor in keeping the bags with the right fae is to have a fan that blows directly on them on a cycle timer.  My current setting is 3-5 minutes every 2 hours.  This forces higher air exchanges beyond the passive and keeps the morphology reasonable

Those are 5 x 7 x 2 meal preps containers you can get in the ziplock aisle at grocery stores

Hi Folks
As I’ve been dusting off and cleaning up my old cultivation projects I came across about 12 or more nice lookin pan cyan var. Bunnell Florida prints that I had made to give away. They are dated 2022. So they might be a bit slow to germinate and or require a soak before putting them on agar. If you have not grown Bunnell or would like a print that is a bit closer to the OG field collected / land race pan - shoot me a PM.
Once again thank you to our Pantastic Myco Friend Adas for sending me the original prints that I distributed and also multiplied (a lot!) for the community.  I lost track of how many I gave away. I was surprised to see that they made their way to several vendor sites. Great genetics! They used to form clusters and fruit on agar plates for me!
🤪

Glad to hear they made their way to vendor sites! I really don't think spores from 2022 have any cahnce to germinate tho

Hi! I sent some spores to agar and now wondering how to choose best parts to propagate on second agar plates. I've read that it's best to choose parts without overlay. Am I right?



hi kamylka, this isnt considered overlay, but you are correct in thinking to go for thinner myc.  honestly though, both plates look nice and id select from multiple colonies and then transfer next for speed and organization maybe.

msa is known to overlay though once its gone to bulk and im not sure if there should be a certain strategy to your plate.  maybe just the same as above.  overlay cultures fruit too.

best of luck on your projects!
