question about straw log tek
    #7778360 - 12/19/07 04:38 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

i read over this tek and it seems pretty sweet, being Paul Stamets inspired.
http://archives.mycotopia.net/discus/messages/5/30183.html?1059589094
my question is;
once you make the straw log and its colonizing, why are you supposed to expose it to light throughout the colonization? this is stated in step #9 of the tek.
I would of thought that this would cause premature pinning, no?
feedback from anyone who has done a straw log would be appreciated.
thanks!

Light or no light, pinning won't occur until the mycelium has completely colonized the substrate and the correct fruiting parameters exist.

Light has little to no effect on colonizing mycelium. You can keep it in the dark if you want to, but it's not necessary.

I think there's a copy of that tek here too. I know I posted it both places. It's hard to believe it's been almost 5 years. . .
