You guys ever Good Cop/Bad Cop your grows? * 1
    #28611836 - 01/06/24 03:00 PM (21 days, 9 hours ago)

I wanted to share a funny pattern that has emerged in my house.

I travel for work and am gone 5-10 days at a time.  I'm the one who prepares grain, inoculates, S2B, and harvests. My wife checks on them, mists when necessary, and makes sure the room temp is right (We get large swings in temperatures where I live). She also hums to them while she works and compliments the mushrooms.

Any major growth always seems to appear when I'm gone. It's like it deliberately waits until I'm thousands of KM away to say "The bad man is gone, let's get to growing!".

Thinking of it, I'm the one to stab, slice, smack, and rip the mushroom material. She sings to it and makes sure it's happy. We even have a desk and hot lamp. It's straight out of a cop show.

Others will disagree. But I do believe the mushrooms respond to us.

How many times have we seen people post on here panicked asking how they can get X amount of weight in X amount of time and when you read it you just KNOW this person promised people a bunch of mushrooms and took money up front and now they won't grow and he's scrambling to figure out how hes going to produce so they don't have to pay back.

Mushrooms don't want to grow for people who only see them as a vehicle for taking peoples money.

They want to grow for someone who will take care of them and listen.

Just my observation as we've seen it play out here a lot.

I can't explain it, but I also think there's something to it...

It's hard to test this with only a bad cop in the house.

I'm sure I remember reading an article on mushrooms and mycelium responding to sound...but I might just be really stoned. :mushroom2:

Edit: A quick search and yea I've found the article Music to Mushrooms. Although it suggests lower frequency stimulates opposed to higher frequencies inhibiting growth. Does your wife sing in a deep voice? :wink:

Joking aside I might hook up a speaker and give it a go!

I saw a video of Paul Staments saying that mushrooms would grow in areas where a lot of humans celebrated such as a wedding.

I stumbled across it randomly and haven't been able to find it again.

Well I certainly hope it makes a difference. My mush get a lot of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, so I have to imagine their vibes are pretty good if they can hear that.

No.

But I feel like a bouncer when I kick suspicious spawn etc. out of the house!
