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. 🤙

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.


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.



Thank you, it's an oversized shoebox or unmodified tub yeah. I tend to agree first round I kept the lid on and was ok. Was trying to dial my process in a bit and flipped the lip this round. Back to sealed for good on the next round

Hey shroomery, QQ. 

Is this knotting before being fully colonized?

Looks like it could have colonized a bit more. Looks very knotty.

Yes, but that just misses the mark for 'fully colonized'.

Thanks guys.  Was that caused by a poor enviroment?  Will it still produce a little?

Could be a little dry, could be a little competition in there.

Can I use perlite instead of vermiculite to make BRF cakes? If not, is there any substitute to vermiculite? I can't find it.

What about inorganic granulated fertilizer with phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium?

No, perlite and vermiculite serve two different purposes in this hobby. Vermiculite is to retain moisture, you don't want to try and replace vermiculite with perlite in pf tek cakes.

I haven't done what I'm about to propose, but in my mind it would work. Someone can chime in if my thinking is off the rails.

You could use coir instead of vermiculite. Both are water reservoirs.

Prep your coir to field capacity, scoop 2 cups into a bowl, add 1 cup brf, then add water a little at a time until it's at field capacity. Load into jars. Keep it fluffy, don't compress it.

You would need filtered lids for this method, because you wouldn't have the dry verm barrier. Any filtered lid would work, but it would be right easy to punch a hole in the lid and cover it with micropore tape or stuff it with polyfil.

I've been thinking about doing the same. When indo cakes I'll put a top layer of coir on them in their fruiting chamber and it helps encourage pins in that area.

I could cry.
That means all my hard work in growing is finally baring some results. It feels like things have been moving so slowly due to the cold weather we've had and my roommates refusing to keep our international temps above 65. Thank you!

How do you manage your incubation system during the winter time with keeping things warm in a camper? Curious about this, because I may use some of those tips for my own current space.

It's a pain in the ass. I have the tents open all winter too. It has a propane furnace, and I've gotta keep it cranked when it gets below 20oF. It's a real juggling act sometimes, especially with agar plates.

Too close to the heat source and they get crazy condensation, which can spread bacterial contams if they exist in the plates. I've got some mylar I'll sometimes throw over things to insulate them a bit.
