BLEWIT on WBS * update 5/30

I have one agar jar of Blewit going!
I don't know what to do with it!
Some advice needed


I am taking one of my plates to a grain master of WBS.
UPDATE 2/7
I've had some other projects taking up my time! Sorry. This is a picture of the fully colonized jar. The mycelium was growing up the sides!

I took a transfer to a WBS jar.

UPDATE 2/18
So it looks like the mycelium is starting to colonize. You can see I transffered on 2/7...

Slow grower lol.
Well, that's about all the excitement. See you in a few!

Ya I was gonna try to fruit it, but I have no idea how! lol. I need to do some research.
And I really need to update my lab equipment and get some test tubes to make master slants!
I have pink oysters going now. If you want a live tissue culture I'll gladly send one!

I read somewhere they do great in compost outdoors. But I really would like to see them fruited out indoors. Props!

Thanks for the good word Pseudo. That thread was interesting....esp. since I started out with such an amazing contam. lol.
Only one cultivator posted a successful indoor blewit, one small fruit, but it received the praise that it deserved.
...and, as above, a compost sub would like have a better chance of fruiting than one of coir, but I am likely getting beyond myself.
Good luck,
JD

So it's now been almost 5 months.
The Blewit is still growing! I would say the jar is about 50% colonized.
Imagine twisting the jar....




So... ya. This mushroom grows slow as hell. Its taught me alot about moisture content in jars, that's for sure.

At some point, I will likely be fighting a contam on the uncolonized grains, but even this does not mean that it will not finish.
Good luck, and thank you for the update.
BTW: My blewit blocks were either retired or buried. I will try again. :0)

you may find faster growth on hardwood/softwood chips/sawdust. Thats where I usually see them growing in the wild and there so many I cannot believe its a slow growing culture.
Cool project!
