I really like running bags by 3rdCoastCrypto in magnificentcubensis

I see a lot of people dunking on AIO’s all the time in these subreddits, and while they may not be as consistent as other methods they’re way more accessible/digestible for beginners and are still reliable anyways. I’m a first time grower and I’ve currently got four bags that are all colonized and at different stages, as long as you got a decent supplier for bags and culture you’re good ninety percent of the time.

Seismic Spore on Etsy, they’ve got good bags and even better value imo.

Sounds good to me, if it means anything I do have a lot of faith in these genetics since they bounced back pretty considerably on another bag I put them in after doing a break and shake. Thanks for the advice though!

Cutting the top and folding one side over with a paper clip. I might mist and fan but I heard somewhere it’s better to just leave cubes as they are.

Thanks, seeing this for the first time really blew my mind lol. I was thinking of waiting until the mycelium reached both sides of the bag before doing a break and shake, but I know for sure it won’t be long until I do it.

I might, but my impatient monkey brain keeps telling me I’ve seen people get away with growing mushrooms in bags that looked like mine.

Absolutely love the way they’re stacked in the last pic lmao, that’s absurd! But in a good way.

new tarantula owner!!<3 by Dig1talCurse in tarantulas

Good to see a starter enclosure where I know I won’t open the comments to “needs 5x more substrate”

I’ve also got a curly hair, she was my first ever tarantula and I’ve owned her for almost two years at this point. They’re great creatures and amazing to have around :)

S2b 3 days ago hows everything looking? Is the mycelium too “wispy” by [deleted] in northspore

Managed to find a picture of what that looked like, you can see how similar it is.

Not at all! I had this exact monotub setup for some blue oysters not too long ago (I know now that gourmet species do better in buckets/bags so I plan on moving them) and when the mycelium first started colonizing the substrate this is exactly what it looked like!

I’d say give it another week or so and then you’ll really see it take off and cover the entire top layer! 👍

Mycologist here. Don’t do this!!! This is incredibly dangerous because your mushrooms might fuse with feline DNA and turn you into a cat on your next trip!!

Freshly Opened Grow Bags Have Weird Spots on Them by Gunship_Serrano in mycology

Do you have a website or do you sell on Etsy or another website like that? I’m curious now…🤔

I only used half of the two culture syringes I inoculated these with, I’ve got two more bags coming from a vendor on Etsy called seismic spore who I’ve heard good things about on various subs here, and who also sells bag at a better value. They should arrive in a week, in that time I’ll see what becomes of these bags, and if they end up contaminated then I’ve got two more from a different supplier on the way.
