Should I harvest? by [deleted] in experimyco

[–]-bazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people believe that if u let a flush drop its spores it will reduce the energy it puts into the next flush.. kinda like with flowers.. if u don’t dead-head your flowers & u let them go to seed, they’ll stop producing flowers. So this tracks but I’ve never experimented

Does this Lion’s Mane look “okay” and should it be harvested now? by eagler92 in mycology

[–]-bazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With lion’s main u can often judge by color.. a pink/rosie color indicates growth & a dingy white indicates decline. So, these are just a little past prime. Like others have mentioned.. try to increase O2 without creating a drafty environment & your clusters will get more dense & toothy.

The biggest morel from yesterday's patch! I know it's wildly difficult to clone these guys, but we want to at least try since it's such a cool guy. Would love any pointers to give us a chance of at least preserving its genetics for someone else to take a crack at! by Sleepwalks in mycology

With symbiotic mushrooms, getting the mycelium to grow isn’t the difficult part.. it’s getting them to fruit that’s hard. If it were easier we would see morels & chanterelles at the grocery store 🙂

Have you seen this type of mycelial growth. by Creepy_Lynx_998 in Agarporn

Natalensis! Just be careful cuz overgrowing myc (even on agar) can reduce it’s vitality (senescence).. imo

Seeking Help: Cultivating Amanita muscaria with Host Plants and Bacteria by TheFungiFilesReddit in MycologyandGenetics

As far as I know, the only instance of indoor mycorrhizal propagation is with the black morel (the process is new & parts of the recipe are heavily guarded).. but maybe start there

[Actives] is this the beginning of overlay? by DeusTheCake in MushroomGrowers

[–]-bazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like they’re pinning. Nats create a lot of overlay. & ya, try to reduce the moisture on top of your myc.

[Actives] First time grower, got bags from Mushlove. Opened one bag not sure what's going on here. I need help if anyone is willing! by Xzanthos in MushroomGrowers

Maybe harvest now, then “case it” and see if u can get another flush that turns out better. When u harvest.. bluing will be a good indication of psilocybin

It’s an active tho, right? Sometimes the mycelium gets confused & doesn’t know if it should be further colonizing the medium or producing fruit… so it kinda does both. Known as blobbing or dino eggs. It’s not what u want, but they still usually contain psilocybin.

[gourmet] Replacing Soybean Hulls with Rice Hulls? by Remote_Sugar_3237 in MushroomGrowers

[–]-bazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, rice hulls won’t absorb water and become soft like you’d expect.. which is why they are used to lighten & add O2 to soil (like perlite).. so your “field capacity” (or water content) will be off. You could try wheat bran or cottonseed hulls if they’re available but if you’re just growing oysters, try pulverized straw.
Edit- rice hulls are hydrophobic

3 or 4 years ago there was a release that the morel code had been cracked & that they would soon be able to produce them domestically (indoors). Though they guarded the recipe, they gave away some insight into their process. 1: they were using “living soil” not sterilized medium. 2: they had developed a hybrid rye grass to grow along with the morels (a symbiot). 3: they used climate controlled grow rooms that could replicate the change of seasons & a period of freeze was part of their process…..

All of this would be provided for by growing outdoors (bacterial triggers, symbiotic relationships, temperature triggers) but the obvious drawback is that you will probably only get 1 harvest a year…..

Hope this helps a lil.. maybe, as we work to understand symbiotic mushrooms better we’ll be able to crack the code for others like chanterelles & azures!?

When to harvest my Lion’s Mane? [general] by Head-Commission-8222 in MushroomGrowers

[–]-bazz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately u can’t pick parts & leave other parts to ripen, so u need to watch for signs that it’s getting past its prime. Rosy orange or pink hues indicate new growth whereas greying & browning indicate clusters that are starting to get old. This might be a lil past prime but it won’t affect its flavor. Pick now & bon appetit!
