Anything wrong with this picture?
    #7388220 - 09/09/07 01:38 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

Spawned 2 lbs of WBS to 5 lbs of hpoo 8 days ago in a monotub, and it looks like this now:



Many water droplets had collected atop the tub:



So some had dripped down on the mycelium. Is that bad?

There were a couple of vaguely yellowish spots -- you should be able to spot them in the first picture -- which I'm guessing are metabolites. Can anyone confirm this?

In any case, it seemed ready for casing so I cased with 60/40 verm/coir and wrapped it back up in a black plastic bag, but I was just hoping someone could lay my worries to rest. Thanks!

Sounds good!

I did not put any casing on the bottom -- I just dumped the hpoo in there and mixed with crumbled spawn.

I don't think I packed down the casing too hard so I'm hoping it won't be a problem for the myc to get through it. I basically just dumped it throughout the top and spread it out so that it was even with a fork.

I shouldn't ventilate the tub while the casing layer is colonizing, right? I have it tucked away on a shelf in my closet with a black plastic bag over it, so there probably isn't much air movement.

Looks good dude.
Give it 5-10 days to colonize the casing layer, put it in the FC, then stand back so you don't get mushrooms poking your eyes out!

But do have the camera ready, I have a feeling there's going to be some pr0n come out of that tub.

Excellent. I am very excited. Just hope it doesn't all spring up while I'm gone for a week!

Will definitely take pictures and post an update once I starts seeing some action.

Well of course they are going to spring up when you are gone- that's what mushrooms do. You'll come home to a spore mess. It's not the worst thing you could come home to, though.

As long as they aren't rotting by the time I get back. :grin:

I leave in 10 days, returning on the 26th.  I'll be keeping my fingers crossed!

Hmmm... I'm tempted to find some way to set up a time lapse so I could have some documentation of progress.

It's not.  I just put it there so I could take a picture. It's sitting on a shelf in my closet now :smile:
