Reishi Primordia? (Pics)

Hey folks,
Do these formations look like G. lucidum conk primordia? I punched holes in the side of the supplemented sawdust bags on February 21, these pics were taken today (March 12). Conditions are approx. 70F, 85-95% humidity, air exchanges every two hours. Any input appreciated.

Indeed it is! Congrats!
It built up the base, now its balling up getting ready to grow outwards lateraly. I pick them when the lip of fresh white growth such as you have now stops forming and planes out. Ok look at your hand the top is the red your finger nail is the white. When that white receades to the tip of your finger thats when its pretty much done growing.

You bastard.... I hope you get a spore print if they do develop into conks.
It's funny...when reishi are forming off of the mycelial mass, they remind me of like Gremlin pustules forming off of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man. It's a fucking odd organism.
On a side note, I had dreams of malformed giant antlers of reishi last night. I'm a "full-time dreamer".
Nice pics.

Actually, those look like more of a young gilled mushroom. More like a pale shiitake than a reishi. The cap looks too defined from the stem for a reishi. You should know in a few more days. Where did you get the culture? Is it possible that it is something else?

Workman, see how the base of the stem is smooth up against the bag?
Shiitake dont do that as far as i know.
They are freaks for sure but i would hope to see some actual shelf like formation soon.

Well, I don't think they are actually shiitake, just that they look more like shiitake than reishi. It should become clearer what it is after it matures. In my experience, there is never that sharp division between the cap and stem with reishi. It should be a smooth transition with the older lower portions becoming darker in age while the active growing tip is white. Interesting.

It looks like Ganoderma to me. I dont' think that's a cap and stem differentiating, but rather two different growths from the same opening in the bag. RR

I agree Roger but in a way it is stem and cap growth. Just funky like cuz its a shelf like fungus. Lets say growing from a burried log. Fruit primordia reaches up through the soil....(antler formation) Hits the air then shelf formation begins. I see the same here but in a lesser degree.

If you haven't seen this before, time-lapse video #5 is Ganoderma tsugai growing from a ziploc bag. You can see the changes it makes as it grows. http://www.mushroomvideos.com/868246.html RR

I have grown many flushes of shitake and can say this these primorida formations are different-- unique, in fact. If one looks closely, one can see the polypore-like surface developing, which may not be carrying through in the pics. I shall keep you folks updated as things progress!

Looking forward to the update. Now I wished I hadn't made the shiitake comparison. What I meant to say is it looks more like a typical gilled mushroom (for example a shiitake). I never thought it was a shiitake, especially since the substrate doesn't show any of the brown staining typical of the species.

Well here are the latest pics of my reishi primorida. How does everyone think they are progressing?

Ok, now they are obviously reishi. I have only grown this species once before and I don't remember my pins looking like yours did. I guess I should stick to Psilocybe ID

You're about to have a shitpot full of spores everywhere. You can wrap a small piece of wax paper around the fruit to catch the spores without picking it. Change the wax paper every day as it gets saturated with brown/red spores. A fruit like yours will drop spores for three weeks or more before it stops. RR

You ever notice how the top gets coated in rusty brown spores a cm thick. So so many spores. I thought i saw somewhere that the spores themselves contain medicinal properties. The mount of spores they produce is so great that it might be something to look further into and maybe put into action....
