How dark do my shiitake bags have to be before fruiting?
    #5864454 - 07/16/06 06:18 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Hi, I am in the process of my first shiitake and lion's mane grows (both on logs and in grow bags.) The shiitake blocks have been covered in mycelium and are now turning dark brown in small patches on the outside AT A SLOW RATE. How long must I wait before I cold dunk them? They were inoculated 40 days ago. Thanks. P.S. if anyone grows lion' mane indoors, could you provide your recipe? Thanks again. Hopefully soon I can send pics of gigantic shiitake fruitings

well howdy, stranger, and welcome to da shroomery.

the shiitake blocks are ready to be fruited when they have turned dark all over and the first 'popcorn' appears. you may have to wait a couple of months. look, here's a bag well past dunking time:

Thanks for your quick reply. The first and second pics are bags that were inoculated 6/1/06, do you think they're almost ready? The 3rd was inoculated 6/20 and needs more time. The 4th is a tube of lion;s mane. Do yo know if the mycelium normally grows in spots, clumps like this? All of my cultures look like this. Thanks again.
