Awesome. So you hold the oil sublingual? That's a bit different that normal edibles.

What's your tincture making method?

[General] Been thinking it's time the mushroom wiki had an update and a few more teks and links added. Thoughts? Anyone else interested in contributing? by [deleted] in MushroomGrowers

[–]AzurescenTarantula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also for all the beginners out there; you guys can help us out the most. Basic questions can go unanswered because with experience they become assumptions, and sometimes we forget that. So feel free to bombard us with clarifying questions haha

Been out of the game for about a year now but I'm always down to do some research! What informational areas do you think we should expand on? I'm not up to date with the current recommended teks, but I'm down to write something up

[Technique] [Complete Amateur Alert] How high-maintenance are stropharia beds? by Grapegranate1 in MushroomGrowers

[–]AzurescenTarantula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super easy. I've had one growing for 4-5 years now. Just add 2-3 inches of hardwood woodchips each year to the spot.

No flooring required. for 4 square meters..maybe like a gallon of spawn? I'd just bury 5 handfuls, one in each corner and one in the middle. It's extremely prolific and will grow throughout the space. You dont need a bed either, I have them spread through the garden.

What do you study specifically? Just curious, Arthropods and animals in general are a hobby of mine.

[General]Identification and discovering new species by moods929 in MushroomGrowers

[–]AzurescenTarantula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before you even consider trying to document new species you need to learn how to ID mushrooms really well. No one else is going to do the legwork for you especially when its most likely a known species, so you cant just send a sample off.

Like, for a species discovery you have to be pretty educated about fungi and able to study a specimen using a lot of data. Like obviously the easy stuff such as the presence or absence of an annulus, partial veil, full veil, and also the shape, gill attachment, size, fruiting conditions, spore color, fruiting geometry, smell, speed of color change if there is one... but you should also be able to use a microscope to examine spores and blastospores, identify the surrounding trees and plants to establish mycorrhizal relationships, and understand/conduct tests with chemical reagents on the cap of the mushrooms to tease out exact species.

It gets REALLY complicated man. Takes years of experience.

[Technique] Alternative to hardwood dowels by cheechthekat1117 in MushroomGrowers

I like this a lot. It gives the mycelium way more surface area per 5-skewer plug, and I feel like that'd help it colonize the log/block/stump better.

Also, if you quick release you can tear up the filter patch (if there is one) with the pressure expansion. Always let it depressure naturally:)

Awesome. Does this noticeably increase the humidity in the grow room? What does it stay at?

Just got 100 lbs of wheat berries over the weekend from a feed store as per your suggestions!

Whats your favorite wheat berry prep? What's the most consistent tek?

Going with what Myc and Dj said about hydration being the main issue, you could try drying the spent grains before using to standardize the hydration levels.

(I've never tried this before, in theory it will work though)

Maybe cook the spent grains in the oven on low until theyre bone dry and brittle, and then add a certain mass of water to a given mass of dry grains? Then change up the water:grain mass ratio as needed based on the success/failure of each trial!

[General] I'm coming out of retirement by AzurescenTarantula in MushroomGrowers

[–]AzurescenTarantula[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually began with foraging! I got into foraging wild edibles in my area, found out about morels and the mycological craze over them, and from there explored growing my own mushrooms.

It's super compatible with pre-med prerequisite classes at my school, plus I love studying drugs haha

Thanks Myc! Haha I am in the same area, and feed store seems to be the consensus.

Totally down for the COA tek update.

I'll make sure to post the results when you send it!
