How much do you think all these mushrooms weigh?
    #5567379 - 04/28/06 04:08 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

These were picked today off of 10 lbs of tenn stud in a ~60 qt. tub.  As you can see, light got into the sides of the container on accident, so the whole patty had to be flipped onto the lid of the tub.  Maybe that was a good thing.  I didn't have anything that would weigh all of these, so I was wondering if anyone could give me some estimates.  My guess is a shitload... probably over 50 ounces wet?  :eek: I've gotten quite a few pics below.  I'll keep you posted of the dry weight.  Also, where the hell do you get desicants from if you don't get them online.  Does anywhere like walmart or home depot sell them?

I'd say you're going to fall between 4.5-5 ounces dry. They may look like a lot wet, but they shrivel up significantly when they are properly dried. Keep us posted on the dry weight.

nice harvest man. check out places like home depot for dessicants. they hould be in the paint department. theres one called "damp rid". fan dry those babies for a day, then move them into a desiccant chamber.

I actually followed a tek that was already on shroomery. I beliee they called it the monotub tek or something to that effect. It was all pretty easy actually. start out with colonizing just 1/2 gallon mason jar of birdseed. you can either spawn with spores or mycelium (which works a way better. Once that is almost complete, order you some shit from tenn stud. This one was 1/2 gallon colonized birdseed mixed with 10 lbs tenn stud poo/straw mix, all fron tenn stud. Mix that all into a 60 qt tub from walmart. Take a drill with a 1" drillbit and put about 4 holes at the top of the sides of the container, and 4 holes near the bottom of the side walls of the container. The ones at the bottom need to be as close to the poo as possible to let all those CO2 emissions escape. This will prevent cobwebbing. From then on, just sit that in room temp, around 72 degrees. it will probably all colonize within 8 days or so. During this time, make sure it gets no light. when colonized, put on the casing layer. Use damp vermiculite and coir 50/50 mixture for this, at about 1/4 inch layer thickness. Patch the casing to be sure that all the mycelum is coming in evenly. Once it appears evenly, start exposing it to a lot of direct light to induce pinning. The tek i read said to put duck tape around the edges of the container at the bottom to keep any light from hitting the mycelium on the sides. This is what we didn't do right... light got in the sides, and started showing pinners. this is why the whole poo cake had to be flipped onto its lid. Maybe itis a good strategy to do it like this.
