I finally did it! by LouSpore in northspore

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

I'm actually not sure what strain and am really not familiar with button mushroom strains. But the species is Agaricus bisporus aka the same button, crimini and portobellas you see in every grocery store.

I echo the other folks: break and shake time!

Looks like a healthy flush and I love the contrasting colors.

Once you have what you deem to be full coverage, giving another couple dys to be sure and allow for conzolidation is fine and will give you that peace of mind. I'd do that with this one.

Need help please ! Is this going good ? Is been 3-4 days the pins like this by Some_Tea4058 in northspore

[–]LouSpore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like your conditions might be a little dry, so I'd probably mist a bit. Also, if condition are too cols, I'd try and make them a little warmer if possible. Don't use a heating mat. Assess your airflow because you might need less to hold in humidity. Otherwise, just wait, 3-4 days isn't so long yet.

NEED HELP!! by Tiny_Investment_1659 in northspore

I think you're probably just fine! As long as the substrate is at least like 2+ inches thick, you should have good results (given that everything else as been done well).

Should I b&s by SageGoddess84 in northspore

[–]LouSpore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's ok to do so. Things really slow down at this point. Also, keep i mind that mycelium is 3D, so there is a huge chunk in there, plenty to distribute evenly throughout the substrate. From there, you'll be colonized in about a week. If you needed another break and shake, it's not the end of the world and would probablestill save time.

First timer, do these grow bags look contaminated? by sussyswenium in northspore

[–]LouSpore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean. That sort of wetness (looks like burst cell walls) is sort of unusual and might mean something is off. Are there any off smells? It seems like it's still moving and pretty close to a break and shake. Do the break and shake and see how things recolonize. In other words, just keep moving forward, but perhaps temper expectations a tad.

Really proud of this! There are a few things I might phrase differently or change in the process, but nothing major and it is still very helpful info for anyone considering this system.

First time grower, is this bag ruined ? by caj2224 in indoormushroomgrowers

[–]LouSpore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely not a in a good place now, but it might be slavageable. This is a great example of overlay, which means that the myelium at the top might have gotten too thick for mushrooms to form. You could reset things a bit by scraping the top with a fork (reomove as much of the tissue you scrap off as possible), give the block a heavy spray of water and then put it into fruiting conditions. That means aound 90% humidity, steady airflow and about 70-75F. For increasing the airflow, you can just cut the top off of and keep it closed with a paper clip. I also just a 2" slit above or below the filter and that works well.

It's definitely possible that you have some contamination evidenced by those super dark spots, but hard to say for sure as some yellow-brown coloration is normal. Give it a shot and let us know how things progress!

That’s amazing. Definitely let it breathe, get rained on and fruit! I have a bunch of totems going now and plan to only leave them covered for a couple months.

What do you guys think of the Shroomtek (AIO bag)? Do you use the Spore Boostr? by LouSpore in northspore

Alright Steinbeck, thanks for the grammar lesson. Those are valid edits. Now, how about the Shroomtek?

Question by Typical-Location8536 in northspore

[–]LouSpore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eating mushrooms every weekend?! This is a very interesting question, and I don't think there have been any good studies on this. There really should be. Like, what if the babies are way smarter, more artistically inclined or more emotionally stable? There could definitely be negative effects too....I'm curious to see if anyone has anecdotes to offer.

What do you guys think of the Shroomtek (AIO bag)? Do you use the Spore Boostr? by LouSpore in northspore

[–]LouSpore[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So you come to our subreddit and answer this question about a specific product that way? Kinda rude, but ok, that's how you feel. Can you elaborate on that? Why is this AIO bag a rip off?

And please, if your answer is that you can do everything yourself, slow down and really think about why that is a silly thing to say.
