Tried posting the pics but they were too large

They went into tubs 11/25 and first pin showed 12/27. Then the base turned blue and it hasn't done much since. Other tub shows nothing.

I posted pics in this thread a week or so ago

Two bins from earlier have made no progress in a week except one little side pin. I have jars ready to go. Should I dump the bins and do a bleach blast at this point?


Show clear pictures of the whole substrate surfaces. What date is "earlier" and what date did you make the tubs?

Trying again

Spawned 11/25 and hasn't done anything except a couple side pins? Could throw a hail mary and punish the surface and try to offer better conditions. Myc doesn't look very happy - were conditions swinging or did it dry out at one point? The more info, the better. 🤙

I don't think these aren't looking too good after 12 days, can I get a diagnosis? yeet?




edit: ew, looks like there is a ton of green shit growing in the picture.. I dont see it w/ my eyes though :frown:


those look alright to me. i'm not seeing any green but maybe someone else can weigh in


I think they look ok. The surface looks like it could use some more sparkle, so maybe a light mist.


You wont get that surface moisture until it's fully colonized.

I'd LITFA. 12 days is pretty slow, but nothing you can do about it but cross your fingers. Im in the same boat currently with a couple tubs taking their sweet ass time, one of which is a culture that ripped through in 6 days, previously. Im on day 10 with a few to go - not optimistic, but what do ya do...


Thank you guys!  I don't know if i'm seeing stuff... but the photo looks mostly normal when viewed on my phone/computer, but the one uploaded here has a green tint to parts of it.

Appreciate the help, I'll let them keep doing their thing.

May have dried out, temps stayed relatively consistent. I tried flipping the lids upside down when I saw i was getting fuzzy feet then it pretty well stopped on the top and turned dark at the first pins.

Two questions:

1 - a shoebox fruited well before the block was fully colonised. No apparent contamination. Not a huge flush, but wondering whether I need to add more water for second flush. I don't see how it would handle a dunk as the coir isn't held together so well. Would the best option be to bottom water? It's not looking  dry but would love another couple of flushes.

2 - when I PC my grain jars, the grain quantity shrinks a fair amount. Is this to be expected, or could I be PCing too long? I'm hitting two hours but my PC is a challenge to keep at 15psi (no rocker or gauge), so unless I dial in the temp perfect I either don't hit 15 or get regular mass venting, hence the 2 hours to play it safe.

I threw some Subtropicales hats on tinfoil to print them but forgot about them for around 3 days. Can I still dehydrate the hats and store them or should I toss them? Feels like a waste of crazy good mushrooms so I'd prefer not to but I definitely don't want to get sick while being smashed on subtrops :lol:

Got a sinker sprayer nozzle? If it were me, I'd give it a quick blast across the surface, let it soak the extra water for a few hours, then dump out any standing water. This looks like an unmodded monotub, yeah? And coir was at field capacity? Seems odd the flipped lid boned you, if so.



Also, worry less about fuzzy feet. It seems to be a boogey man, of sorts.

already posted these guys in cult pic of the day but was curious if these hats are a mutation or something else. these are gandalf from a trade.


bumping this ! I harvested some and noticed the inside of the stems are really soft and blue on a few of them. Are they safe to eat or does that mean they're rotting/contammed?


If they get slimy and smelly then they are rotting

You’re good bro. Chow down! Or dehydrate and chow down!

Edit: unless you see visible signs of mold.

I was wondering, is this normal or would it be wise to transfer? I wonder if it got like that because the agar thins out on that side.

Post harvest of hillbilly pumpkin. Harvest was yesterday, this morning, and about ten minutes ago. Please tell me this is just bruised mycelium. It popped up maybe an hour or two after first harvest yesterday, and has spread out since

Sorry, best quality pic I could gwt

So bucket tek in a cooler is redundant now? Either just use a bucket or not even worry about using boiling water at all?

In this situation where there are like 8 mature fruits with open caps but a lot of smaller ones still to mature, is it ok to wait a few days until the majority are mature before harvesting?

The mature open cap ones are growing in clusters so I’m concerned with picking them now and potentially damaging the other ones, or (unsure if this is true) maybe picking them and it signals to the others to stop growing.

I’d happily sacrifice the few open ones from their full potential to let the smaller majority grown and mature

Shouldn't hurt to yank the mature ones. It's also ok to leave them, you'll just end up with a lot of spores all over the rest.

Would cutting only the mature caps off be ok?

Yes that's a great idea. Take some spore prints while you're at it. Nice shrooms :super:

I wouldn't consider it redundant.  Mold and mold spores die at a relatively low temp and giving yourself any advantage is not a bad idea.  I still bucket tek with boiling water and I'm not going to be changing that anytime soon.

Thanks, Dala.

I have been searching for a guide on how to prepare for a second flush post harvest and can find anything other than beefsupreme saying "blast it with your sink sprayer". Can anyone link a tek here? Should I be scraping the surface off? Recasing? Or is really as simple as pour some water in the tub to rehydrate the substrate? I don't have enough experience to trust my Intuition just yet . Tub I question reposted below
