Wheatgrass is much thicker blades, so the environment is different than with thinner grass.

@kunta kente, the only grains I've had success with by themselves is wheat and popcorn.  I use other grains in AIO and they seem able to use them as carbon in that environment.  And others have had better success than I on oats and rye

@churpee they're very difficult to tell apart without a microscope, and even that isn't a guarantee.  RDU will get sequenced at some point I imagine and then we'll know.

@DV8 peat casing definitely helps.  The recipe I use is here.

Wait wait. So trop is a cyan, that means PHV is a cyan cross too?

visually PHV looks identically like syans

Mine had pretty, bell-shaped caps, more so than cyans. I really enjoyed the trip. But yeah very cyanish looks

Yerp, these grew outside in a propagator, about 80% humidity, short and sturdy.

Here's cyan 'Burringbar' indoors vs outdoors in s flowerpot

Saw in a video, Netherlands before the ban in 2008. Check out those big boys

It's a bit strange to think about how they were professionally grown way back and we (or at least some of us  )  struggle so much to grow them today

These little boxes instilled the pan love in me. Twelve grams fresh for eighteen euros. We used to eat these and go for a swim. Fond memories.

I prefer outdoor shrooms in every way, they often look better, are less delicate, don't take up limited indoor space etc. Also greatly prefer the looks of mushrooms among plants. As Dala says it's almost as if they're supposed to grow outside

PHV cabin. What's the deal? Are the gnarly knots contam, or stones or trying to fruit? Looks like coral or something.  And some strong color at the outer edges too. Gonna transfer from there..

Like tree frog was saying - I’ve had that type of growth or something like it on uncontaminated plates. They were well formed little nodules of mycelium - sclerotia like. They often turn blue with age and grow almost as big as a pea in some instances. Bunell cultures were the ones that created these odd little mycelium blue balls on plates:

Worm castings and grain are all the nitrogen I use anymore.
