hey all, little update here

original hawaiian multispore jars are finishing up.  they just have to colonize the bottoms, but i'm worried that the substrate is too dry.  these are jars that i screwed up the water content on, adding half of what should normally be in there.  for fun, i tried making up a couple honey LCs which went beautifully and are now in the fridge.  i knocked up five pint jars with one of the honey LCs on the 12th, so 11 days ago now, and some of them are almost done.  very fast.  my two original bird seed jars both contamed with trich, i didn't have proper lids.  threw it all out, PCed the jars twice, and started over with three new quarts of WBS to see if i can get it to work this time around.  i also thought it would be fun to experiment with some of my favorite whole grain pasta a couple days ago :laugh:

one of the honey LCs


three original jars, same as in the other two posts, these are going slowly now due to lack of water


five new honey LC pint jars innoced on 12/12, 11 days old and almost finished


a fun little experiment :smile:


3 days after innoc, we'll see how it goes

what a beautiful sight!!

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

ya i've been eating it for years because i love it so much, and it's so much better than plain pasta. it has a crap ton of protein, fiber, and its enriched with omega-3s. i had a little epiphany the other day when simmering my wbs and thinking about lunch haha. i looked at the ingredient list on the box: semolina, grain and legume flour blend (lentils, chickpeas, egg whites, spelt, barley, flaxseed, oat fiber, oats) durum flour, and then some vitamins, niacin, riboflavin etc etc. so i figured it might be a perfect substrate and thought i'd try it out. there are no preservatives so i figure no fungicides.

pic of the FC and four cakes that have been in there a few days, one a couple longer than the others. are these knots what turn into pins? i'm curious as this is my first time. what causes these formations versus the other fuzzy growth that is overtaking the rolled verm?

remember that if you dont see any pins its always safe to lightly mist with a little water/h2o2 mix to make sure nothing takes hold of your cakes.

i have been misting lightly but without and peroxide, i will go out and get some.  in the second pic there, to the right of the middle... does that look like a pin to anybody? if so it will be my first ever and will make me very happy :laugh:

Don't mist with water and peroxide -_-. It needlessly stresses your mycelium which can result in longer pinning times. Straight water is fine.

update

lots of growth, tons of pins, lots of pics for you guys

first, the FC as of 10 min ago:


here are two mutants i had to pluck just now, they both have two caps.  they were starting to overturn a cake and also release spores so i got them out of there


some good lookers






some advice on this one?  looks like myc on top of the caps.  hope it doesn't eat them ha.


with the success of the pasta jar (see previous posts) i knocked up nine more with the honey LC 6 days ago that are coming along nicely




and a little experiment i started 2 days ago :smile:  have three of these going in the inc at the moment



cheers!

Mycelium on the caps is sign of low humidity.

Nice grow buddy!!! Very nice.

really? my hygrometer reads 98-100% RH. none of the other pins are like this, as you can see from the pics. just that one cluster.

It's just a sign, could've been a dry area while the pin was poking it's head, if the rest are fine you're cool. But it won't eat the mushroom, don't worry.

After looking at the picture closer I bet that one will be a mutant.

could be a dry area, they are on the backside of the cake compared to where i stand to mist, so that seems a perfect explanation. another mutant seems likely too, there seem to bee plenty popping up. there are tons of bubble-like things that grow to the size of marbles but never develop caps.

they're growing quick so i'm sure they'll be fine, i just remember a post where RR mentioned he had seen myc overtake and "reconsume" pins that had slowed down in growth.

I remember that too, I believe (don't quote me on this) those were under developed substrate cakes that would continue to grow outward...

Good thing about mutants, as compared to any other mutants is they are just as good as the original... bwhahaha, if only humans could be so carefree.

Lookin' good bud.
I've got one jar done. My LC didn't take, and thus the jars I knocked up with my false-LC didn't work (except in two pints). Suck, for sure.
I hit them up w/ some good LC last night and in about ten days I'll be set for some more work.
But again, good work

What strain are you using, if I may inquire?

1/2 pint cake


i can't wait to see what this turns into


the bruising on these is incredible, almost black. this is what happened between the time i put the knife down and picked up the camera, maybe 10 sec.


and another little experiment, i need some suggestions here. wbs spawned to coir. few more days before casing?
