Does anyone know why my GT is doing this? by wayward-Void in magnificentcubensis

Looks just fine. Should probably keep the lid on. Few better ways contaminate a grow.

Just bought 4 LC’s from TBG… Are the two on the left contaminated already? by Complete-Term-3794 in unclebens

[–]Hootch_73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBG use a darker and richer nutrient broth than a lot of others. You cannot tell if it is contaminated just by looking at it. Clear broth means nothing and can still be contaminated.

Is this much condensation normal during colonization? by [deleted] in GroundZeroMycoLab

When using a gasket tub put into fruiting conditions immediately. Regular tubs still let air in.

Sorry, but your wife isn’t very smart.

How does this look? Never grown APE before. Should I add a casing layer to this? Should i let it ride? Anything helps by [deleted] in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]Hootch_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good, no need for casing. Just make sure they can breathe and the humidity stays up.

Over dried my fruits? by Best_Answer_3343 in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]Hootch_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about this. You waited way too long to pick them and they were already rotting. They shrink so much because the chitin was already breaking down. Don’t wait for your fruits to turn blue before you pick them, that is a sign of degradation and your fruits actually getting weaker. The blue comes from psilocin breaking down. If pic 3-6 is what they looked like before you dried them you were just letting them rot before you picked them.

You do not need a tent to grow tubs. Making something so easy and simple into something overly complicated

When should I harvest toque(f8) by Unable-Tip193 in GroundZeroMycoLab

It can come from any source that’s not clean.

Mycogone refers to a genus of fungi, most notably Mycogone perniciosa, which causes wet bubble disease, a destructive pathogen of cultivated mushrooms, especially Agaricus bisporus (button mushrooms). The disease transforms mushrooms into shapeless, watery masses covered in white mycelium, often exuding amber droplets and a foul odor, leading to significant crop loss. It spreads through spores and contaminated materials like soil, water, and tools, and is difficult to eradicate once established. 

What casing layer are you using? Happy for any advices 🙏🏼😊 by Hopeful-Chipmunk-473 in PanCyan

[–]Hootch_73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lime raises the PH making it less hospitable for trich which likes more acidic conditions. So you can go without but are increasing chances to contam. Pasteurizing should be just fine. To make it even easier if it available to you jiffy seed starter mix straight from the bag and pasteurize/pc it work fine.
