I used Scotts Turf Builder Perennial Rye Grass Seed from Home Depot. It was about 7$ for the 3lb bag and I used less that 1/3 of the bag making 6 jars. So it should work fine.



Why is mostly only one side of the casings fruiting?

Was the casing material pasturized or sterilized?

I relay do now know why it is only fruiting on one side of the casing. It may have been something I did when casing them. I just pasteurized the casing material.

Plus the sclerotia after three and a half months "bonus."



Ummm it fruits from the sclerotia. To my understanding, the will be gone when the fruiting is done.

Maby there are more or bigger sclerotia? Or there is the casing layer a little more open for fresh air ??

You'll still have sclerotia after casing.

How much did it take from casing to fruiting?
Did you case right after 100% colonization was achieved or did you wait months for sclerotia to form?
Do you mean 2 full pints of substrate per casing or the amount of substrate inside 2 pint jars?
Tell us a bit more about your setup if you don?t mind man :thumbup:

About 7 to 10 days

I waited 3 months for the sclerotia to form.

Just 2 pint jars that were 3/4 full were used to make each casing.

Hmmm I have a Martha setup with just a cool-mist running. It tends to keep it at about 90% humidity. I did have another humidifier setup like the instructions suggest but I had trouble keeping it going and the glue never held right. The cool mist runs 24/7 and needs water every 2 days.



I like it as it takes vary little maintenance and time which I tend to run low on lately.

Max capacity is 20 6"x12"x4" deep containers or 10 sq ft of fruiting surface.

I did get prints to work.

I set the little caps in a square (4 caps with a little space between them.

O O

O O

Then take a cotton ball and wet it with 20cc of water and set it on top of the 4 caps. I then cover them with a 1/2 pint jar and let them set. It seems to give decent prints.

Sure, Here is a pic of one next to a standard sized Cubensis Z-Strain print.



The Cubensis print masseurs 1" across.

I decided it would look too small next to this Z-Strain print :wink:

If I inoculate around twelve quart jars with mex-A and tampanensis, and leave them in a tub and tub incubating, how long will it be before I can harvest the sclerotia from the jars? How much sclerotia can I excepct to get? do sclerotia need to be fan/desiccant dried?

3 or 4 months heffy.

That is your print you made Cyber?

Looks friggen great. Even better (perhaps not bigger, can't tell) than a pic of a sporeworks print I saw. Definately darker. You made the labels and all? Very cool.

Yep that is one of the 40+ I have made so far  :grin:

I do the labels on all my prints. It makes them look nice and makes them easy to ID later when I am looking for a print.

I also have some ratings from people I traded with who likes the way it looked.

"3 or 4 months heffy."

Wow that's much longer than I expected. Oh well I guess I will have to grow some more cubes while I wait :wink:. I've heard you can yield as much as 14-20 grams dry (assuming they need to be dried, I am unsure) from a pint jar invitro. That sound accurate?

Holy crap. 40?

I'm really sorry I just spent 42 bucks on one from sporeworks now haha. Oh well. I don't even know if you'll be trading them for sure, but I assume so with that many. Man. They should recruit you.

Tampanensis is slower than mexicana.

Mexicana's ready in 2-4 months, Tampanensis is ready to go in 3-6.

It takes a while, but all you do is inoculate and wait. Start a few jars every month, you'll never run out before the next harvest.
