Shiitake fruiting on WBS
    #7982253 - 02/05/08 11:18 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

I forgot about three old shiitake spawn jars, growing on WBS. When I found them a few days ago, they had browned a bit and were forming primordia in vitro, up against the glass of the jar.

I soaked them in the jars overnight and placed them in a 40 degree F room for 24 hours. Since I used narrow mouth jars, I extracted the cakes by shattering the jars. Then I placed them directly in an open-top plastic tub. They are currently maintaining a good 75% humidity (a touch high) and air exchange seems good.

The fruits are deformed and stunted, but I hestitate to call them true aborts. I am shocked that it even fruited at all on this substrate. Makes me excited for the three 4-pound supplemented sawdust bags which are colonizing right now.

It's common for them to fruit invitro on grains if you leave them long enough. They rarely perform well once birthed though. They need sawdust.
