Lots of questions...
    #5388633 - 03/11/06 09:34 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I am very new to cultivating mushrooms, and I have a bunhc of questions.

1. this is my first grow and I seem to have a few mutants (or atleast malformed) mushrooms. What causes this and are they still safe to eat? Should I pick them now and spare the nutes for the others or could I let them grow?

2. Can I case a cake (1 pint popcorn) after the first flush (currently happening)?

3. How do people feel about "Z strain"? Are they very easy to cultivate or could I have started with something easier?

Any other help/advice anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

1. Mutants can be caused by a myriad of things, so long as they aren't rotting, or contaminated, they are fine to eat.

2. I cannot answer this question but I would wager that since you have had a flush and pinsets for subsequent flushes are related to your first I would doubt it would be wise, the mycelium would be beaten up pretty bad, but I imagine would recover, but who knows it might not. Without experience I cannot really answer your question well.

3. Z strain is a cubensis, and as people are gonna tell you a cubes a cube. But from Spores101 site, and other reads I have done on various sub strains. I have read that Z is very Rhizo in its mycelium (a good thing) and is resistant to contams (another good thing) so I would wager you chose well.


Hope I was of any kind of assistance,
Darken

I'm a gal hun, but I don't mind it when people assume otherwise it happens to just be an internet thing where people make that assumption lol.

The scavenger hunt is a great way to familiarize yourself with the site and its wealth of information. I withdrew, I had a very deep and spiritual trip I am still learning from and didn't have the time to participate.

Should you have any questions, ask them in a nice way (akin to your first post) be patient and listen. And you will be surprised at how amazing this community is.

You can case that cake. Alot of people will case cakes after they stop flushing.

Casing a cake after it is done flushing? that would induce more growth and fruiting?? i thought a casing layer was a non-nute layer, how would a spent cake get its nutes to fruit?
