Contamination?

Noticed it seemed kind grey/light green/blue before I had any pins. It seems to have darkened and now I have pins. It’s not fuzzy like mold though and doesn’t stink just a concerning color.

Do I have contamination or is it healthy mycelium, I’m a first time grower and have the filter patches for FAE. Growing in a monotub

How long until fruiting conditions?

This is an all in one grow bag and I’m wondering if I’m ready for fruiting conditions yet and if not how long would you guys say until it’s ready. Last time I used a grow bag it got contaminated so I threw it in a plant pot and it grew anyway but this time has been a bit more successful. Many thanks guys

First time monotub - Second flush question

I just pulled my first ever harvest after a failed first attempt so feeling great! 211g wet GT’s soon to be thrown in the dehydrator. I had to pull as some of the veils went this morning and I started to see darkening and spores etc so just decided to go for it.

Re second flush - how quickly should I dunk? Do you need to dunk, can you just mist? Looks like my cake has good hydration still but not sure on best approach.

It’s my first time growing and I heard that you should wait about 2 weeks to break a bag.it’s been 16 but I don’t wanna go into it with a second opinion

first grow inoc @5/7

I just finished my BNS 2 days ago and it seems my first grow is going very well! both bags have a good bit of myc "pooled" at the bottom covering the majority of the surface area. i've heard Amazonian is an aggressive strain but I wasn't expecting this much explosive growth so fast. (i actually pulled amazonian as a mystery LC so i'm very pleased with their current standing)

Help p.natalensis

Hi everyone, this is my attempt at growing natalensis. I initiated fruiting 5 or 6 days ago.

Fresh air is provided by an aquarium pump that turns on for 15 minutes every 3 hours. The temperature is between 23 and 23.8°C.

Does it look right visually, or is there anything else I need to keep in mind or should change?

This is my very first grow attempt ever.

I’ve never been so excited!

I posted about a week or two ago about my cake stalling. I’m a first timer!

Look at it now!! I’ve got fruits coming in on the tub that doesn’t have a pseudo casing and my other tub that does, I’ve got two fruits starting in a corner.
Can’t help but check in on these friends every so often.
I wanted to share my excitement with everyone on here because it’s a great feeling!
These are GT’s. I can’t wait to see how these progress with the first 2nd & 3rd flushes and to then try them with TW3!

Mush love & cheers.

Does it look fine?

I stored a small mushroom in the fridge and almost forgot. It was in for like 3 days in a paper bag. Does it look contaminated or just fine? I'm gonna dry. It felt hollow inside when I pressed the stem.

Marshmallow soft?

These guys aren't marshmallow soft. The one is getting all fuzzy on the left. Continue waiting? Or pull? Any speculation on what strain these are?

Any Advice Is Welcome.

Does the surface look normal? These white blobs are showing up inoculated march 11, I run the small fan 24/7 since I started fruiting there’s a heat mat under the rack that reads 75. Any Insight ? Anybody with more experience than me have any insight ? (First time)

u/Deep-Nectarine1732 — 1 day ago

Ochras update... I have pins, what is the best way to harvest these when they are ready? Cutting or twist and pull?

Any additional advice is welcome

Aio bag - first time?

Inoculated 2 weeks ago with LC - agar looked good - think maybe the heat was too high. Chuck? The brown stuff is gelatinous - not liquidy - thanks

Sterilised substrate?

I see a lot of vendors selling sterilised substrate now. It's been a while since I've grown but I was under the impression you were better off pasteurizing bulk substrate or has that changed? Are people mixing colonized grain with sterilised substrate and using that in monotubs? Or is the old coco brick in a bucket with boiling water still the go-to method?

JMF, what’s the best option for fruiting do I cut the top and fold it down lightly with paper clips or pinch the back and side to draw air in through the filter?
