I knocked up a jar of orchid soil mix which seems to bee doing well this is after 1 day.

Am I on to something?

What did you inoculate it with? Seeing growth after one day isn’t necessarily a good sign.

Would be great though, if pins already had all the active in them! Then I could have made my last batch of gummies from about 10 Toque pins, and just steep them in 200ml of hot water instead of making 8 litres of tea, and reducing them into 200ml of black syrup for hours. No more mushroom flavoured gummies either.

Of course if any of yall have access to a laboratory that can measure active compounds, we could get some numbers to correspond to our anecdotes

Hi!

I have some PE plates (T3 on 8/27/26) that looked clean when examined from the outside but look fuzzy when I opened them.

Is the stuff in the pink circle mold, or are they just fuzzy? If so, does anyone know what type of mold?

Mush appreciation for any guidance. Thanks!

To be fair it was a fairly sketchy lc of some penis envy subtype that my roommate revived from a dried mushroom.

Funny he bought supposedly penis envy. But when he grew a tub of it they where taller then pe and had spores.

however I will say the culture was very thick. The syringe clogged several times during the peocess. And that culture has been in the fridge for a couple months

I think some agar got in the jar too.

If you get into exotics like Zapotecorum it would definitely help a lot, especially with flavor.

IME .15 g was a good buzzy, (mostly) functional at work dose, and 1g was was OEV territory, similar in potency to about 2-2.5g Ochra (which from my own personal tests are close to PE)

They aren’t really that hard tbh, some people even have success in a mono. JCM or a water tub are quite high on use ability, honestly a dreamer isn’t that bad *to dial in as a noob* 😆

When you punish your subs, do you rake the surface as well with a fork? I'm seeing people mention that and now I am curious.

You can go ahead and not do that lol. That’s some old and generally bad info I did it once on my first grow with no improvement. It’s also supposed to only be used for real bad overlay

Yes, its for caked on surfaces of mycelium that doesn't maintain good surface conditions

That's an oldschool way if I'm not mistaken, to deal with "overlay"
with Cubensis. However people seem to have a lot of success with "forking"
or scratching it, I have no experience with it
:2cents:

:2cents:

6-7 weeks on agar before colonization finishes, is that a normal length for
"Nut Cracker" cubensis? It's extremely long for a Cubensis BUT I think NC
is a PE variety so that explains that.

I never scratched a cube substrate (some species like ganoderma or maybe pans might do okay with a scratch in bad situations) but when it comes to salvaging a dried out and matted cube substrate I prefer to just not have a dried out matted cube substrate. Dial shit in.
