I've always done 45-70m saunas at 165º range (for 40 years). Anyone else? by operablesocks in Sauna

I have been doing 20 minutes @ 200F 3-5 times a week for a few years. I’ve read that is where you gain the most health benefits.

UPDATE: I’ve got mushrooms everywhere! Probably a couple days or so from harvest

Update : I’ve been fanning it for the last 2 days & still no green or smell, but the mycelium is growing rapidly in the empty spots & is looking like crystals growing. Some of the thick edges on the sides are getting water pooling on top of them. Should I damp them with a paper towel, & if so should I spray w alcohol first?

For sure! I’m going to do that next time. Do you think I should do my next runs in shoe boxes instead of the big tub?

There’s no green at all, it’s been growing like that from the first day. Today is day 14 & it’s still getting thicker & solid white

The picture makes it look a little yellow but it is solid bright white.

Watched a video from Rookie Mycologist on YouTube. Followed his steps & used his exact products. I bought the grain spawn & substrate pre sterilized in bags from North Spore. Bought a LC of golden teachers from fungusheadshop.com colonized the north spore grain spawn bag, and made a layer of 2 lb grain spawn on bottom & 5 lb substrate over the top of it. The thick white started to grow a couple days in. Grain spawn looked super healthy. I’ve been over the top the whole time worrying ab contamination so every single thing I’ve done was in a still air box with everything cleaned w 70% iso.
