Why can't I expand an image without having to open it in new tab and check the "Im not a robot" bullshit everytime I log onto the site? Is tehre really no better way?

I got these two dried up golden teacher plates I just set in the SAB. I got some sterile water I made right by it. Is it possible to rehydrate and ressurect this strain I found hiding in a cupboard? Looks perfectly clean slightly bruised but dry like a cracker.

15 days since sending to bulk. Jack frost, inoculated with agar. 60 lt tubs. 1:2 ratio.

Second grow ever, first time doing the whole process myself, the first time I bought inoculated grain.

Stoked to have made it this far.

Credit where its due, thanks to everyone here replying to all my questions with infinite patience.









Also got this other tub also with Jack Frost, just a few days behind but looking good. Better surface colonization in this one.

So badass.  c'mon. seriously!! second grow!!


Made a fairy ring too. Thats always cool.

@0tonin, sick stuff.


@Rasmo looking forward to the Zaps! They're great to see IRL man.


Fair warning for upcoming pic dump.

I was zuted last night and giddy with the excitment of observing mushrooms- so perhaps a bit snap happy.

First up, Reishi! I mean, look at these fuckin things.










I cracked the lid 2 weeks after spawn and again now, about 2 weeks after that. One tub (Lau Tzu) I put outside, because of a suspicious patch that looked like mould as well as seeing what looked mouldy in a metabolite pool. It's pushing up antlers still but I forot to get pics.

All these pics have been of tub "Zelda" it's 3:1 sub:spawn, and on a mix of 80% HWFP 20% coir. And a deeper, unmodded tub.

This grow has more smoothness to its fruits that set it apart from the other ratios/grows I'm running who appear more hard edged and gnarlier.
And interestingly, this has pulled away from the tub walls some time ago- maintaining a deep pool of water which is crystal clear (unlike the other tub I'll get to soon, who has no seperation from the walls but keeps yellow metabolic piss slicks on the surface)








I don't suppose that brownness at the base is of concern, assuming its the reishi equivilent of fuzzy feet and/or the colour beginning to change to the next layer.

Here's the other tub "benny sings" its 6:1 ratio on same sub.


















my fave fruit of that tub:






It reminds me of this 90's stress toy thing, you squeeze the bowling pin looking pink guy and the eyes pop out or something...



I L O V E the look of Reishis, they have been really cool to watch so far! Look fuckin amazing. Reminds me of the sandworm planet in Beetlejuice:

I would like to look at them under UV.

Next, my slow semp multispore on wood rich sub is chugging along with a few clusters- clearly not satisfied with the atrocious surface:



I'll verm it up for flush 2...

Then my fifth flush of semp clone "Camel" is nearly finished (although I did have tea outta some fresh lst week )


tub floor is spore laden, with tiny pins pushin through:







Finally, some multispore ochra.
I tried to give em as much air as possible but still they noodled up and got bumpy: rather than grow tall or beefy...
Could be a bacterial problem with them given the high amount of primordia it popped out but there seemed nothing untoward about the grain.

I'll be picking them on tuesday for a fresh brew anyway so hopefully the others will be taller by then. If not overmature because I forget how quick these can grow! Then we'll see about flush 2 and what it produces.

Still, lovely mushrooms and I'm glad to see them and eat them.
















^I love that type of lineup.
