All those God Darn small mushrooms
  
  
3 Five pound casings, Tennessee Stud. 

And a pretty cool mutant

Too small to make any grilled portabella sandwiches though

Yup. Thanks to you 
EQ. Even picked up another dehydrator. Magic chef with four racks for $4. First , and only time , I've ever seen one at the Goodwill.
Gonna need it . I have 5 more that size pinning right now, and 7 more that size colonizing

Did I say EQ , I meant portabella's. After these I'm switching to oysters and shitake's. What do you think about that rhiz growth on the top of that cap ? 
Greenhouse is real humid.

Nice HC! 
This is where a Martha setup kicks a double/mono tubs ass. But if you aren't growing enough for everyone in your city, I'd stick with the polyfil & plastic.

My local St. Vincent De Paul has 2 American Harvest deydrators with 4 racks each for $6.99 if I remember right.
I didn't get them because I have enough already.
EQ eh?
Can you get the humidity to go down a notch?

Thanks,lol.
I don't know, you get some pretty awesome results It's just all that FAE with a Martha. These are my first attempts with 50/50+ casing. I'll never go back to coir again. My first 3 casings are on their fourth flush with no sign of contames. Not a single sign of cobweb My coir casings would always contame before that Geuss too many nutes in it.
I don't grow any for anyone in my city 
But, I do love to get away every couple weekends and visit my friends away at school. Makes for some wild and crazy times when you get a couple hundred peeps together, and the end of the year is coming up FAST. All those ebd of semester parties. I really am switching to edibles next . I love mushrooms . I've just been honing my skills with these I want to grow HUGE portabella's so I can marinate them and grill them for sandwiches this summer

I wasn't trying to implicate you in anything, just trying to make the point that you've got a shitload of portabellas there!

No Jiffy mix . Don't like it. Agar recommended against it after I had less than stellar results with it. I make it myself. Sifted peat, equal amount of verm, and hydrated lime to balance the ph. Mixed up 30 cups peat, 30 cups verm and 1 cup hydrated lime. Pc'ed it in quarts jars and set it on the shelf to use when needed. ph was 7.2 when all said and done. Pinsets have been far superior to coir and way more contame resistant.
I'll have to let you know if we ever make it to a college near you. Nothing like 100's of Hippie Chick running around naked all weekend

The first time I had Portabelas marinated in Balsamic vinegar, I swear it tasted like an amazingly tender steak! I'd love to grow some ports for sandwiches too...please keep us informed with the grow when it happens.

Is anyone else happy HC is back? I know im glad to see her posting again!
Nice pics there HC, first flushes are a huge pain to harvest. Ive been working a lot with texas lately and the mushrooms have a DEATH grip on the substrate, every time i finish harvest the first flush the substrate looks like it got hit with a cluster bomb 
But, the end results are always worth it, i actually had to out and buy more trays mid harvest lol
-------------------- To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . . -JG i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug* -A_S (RIP your final words to me will never be forgotten)
