I just looks like a mycelium mass. I'm not sure the exact name of it. But I wouldn't be worried. Especially wouldn't be worried with it going outside. Your petty late on these though dude if you're in the northern hemisphere... Hopefully they'll fruit in time for you this year. Your chips do look very fine though, so maybe they will. The critters are going to go ape shit with all that grain though.

I definitely wouldn't feed it anymore if you really want some fruits this year


Thanks for your response. I know I'm late this year. I'm not expecting anything this fall. Hoping for a good harvest in fall 2027. Thanks!

Here’s an example from one of my grows. This one went nuts pillowing. Most don’t have this extreme.



Here’s a more sane one.

so you think the two cakes are in a good way??


Yes. The risk is this is just a mold patch. If you pin, it’s mycelium. If not, it’s mold. I’ve had both. Mold looks more choppy and ugly than Ochra pillows. Unfortunately, that’s kind-of a subtle difference. It’s a waiting game now. Wishing you a healthy grow.

I was growing mushrooms in a dubtub 10 x 17cm



So yeah, you can! It isn't a problem to hide a tub. Just put it at the top of the cabinet or somewhere. A bigger problem is preparing the cake without contamination. Cake in the tub can grow on its own if you tune it properly with your environment

should I be worried about trichoderma on my reishi cake?



--------------------
When my bird was looking at my computer monitor, I thought, "that bird has no idea what he's looking at." And yet, what does the bird do? Does he panic? No, he can't really panic, he just does the best he can... You’re that bird looking at the monitor, and you’re thinking to yourself, ‘I can figure this out.’ Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that’s the best you can do.

That's a fucking lot of Trich. I do not think you should worry though, as it is far too late to do anything about it

U can grow inconspicuously with stone producers in quart jars hidden out of sight n mind or small 7/12 qt tubs are also fairly inconspicuous 😶‍🌫️

Pf teks with water tubs also fairly convenient and easy to hide

You can flip jar lids for enough airflow or you can poke a hole with a nail in the lid or screw then tape over with micropore tape. U only need a hole about the size of a dime or less for a quart jar.

Lotsa ppl like to do stone producers n make a buncha grain spawn n just let them sit for months then harvest the stones 🤔

Hardest part is clean and precise technique and also clean genetics on top of clean grains :rockon:

Can set jars in a drawer or shelf xd

I got a shelf with lotsa slide out droors so I use that to keep my space cleaned up and less questionable / less obvious what I'm doing

What size desiccant packets would folks recommend for a given jar size? Have a couple use cases.

1) Keeping malt extract powder free flowing (quart jar)

2) Keeping cracker dry mushrooms cracker dry with occasional opening of jars (pints, quarts, potentially larger jars)


The brand of desiccant I'm looking at claims a 2g packet can manage 240 cubic inches (about 4 quarts) but that seems... ambitious. But then again just buying 10g packets feels overkill and would eat up a lot of volume in pint jars.

oh and if anyone has brand suggestions I wouldn't say no. Looking at the "Dry & Dry" brand, rechargeable with indicator, over on 'zon.

Hey I’m back c: got a new batch, hasn’t fruited in almost a month now. Is it sick? Can anyone offer any advice?





3lbs rye 1lb substrate mix, both sterilized and allowed to colonize as the best of my ability. Water is starting to pool and I’m worried about the yellowing.

They do need a small amount of ventilation, but things like plastic shoeboxes have ventilation from the factory. They also don't need light except for direction, so you can keep them in the dark as long as you don't care that they spaghetti in all directions, no harm done. A box like that tucked the back of a closet shelf or something is fine.

So can I assume transportation temps n whatnot might be making agar wedge gifts not viable for me? I've tryed 3 different genetics from some nice people here 😊 the plates have absolutely no growth on them it's so weird 💀 the ones I used spores on clearly have germination and some contam stragglers

Though the plates I tryed to use agar smushed wedges on all haven't done anything n it's been about a week 🤔

Supposedly the fruits are roughly 2x the potency of your average cube. No personal experience with the fruits though.

I had the most intense psilocin  trip in my life off fresh stones using the dosage calculator on this site though. Grabbed me right by the balls on what was supposed to be equivalent to like 3 grams of cubes.

I think it was off a bit.
