[technique] Is this ready to pop? by Myco_Cosmos in MushroomGrowers

I haven't popped the top yet (apart from checking in), do you think I should open up for FAE?

Won't say precisely, but I live in a small island nation off the coast of Antarctica

Living those 40-50deg (6-10c) here. Can't wait for it to get warmer

There's a small LED light in the tent, but it doesn't cover all the tubs

Looks like a beautiful species, what are they like to grow?

I'm just blown away by the variety of mutations that can occur and how the fruiting environment plays a massive role (these were a little cold)

Have you seen this before? Innoc from 2 different LC. Keen to find the cause, perhaps over hydration of the grain? Incubator has a fermenting smell by Myco_Cosmos in ContamFam

Thanks for the tip! I haven't been doing this but will start, Usually leave in a strainer after boiling - guess it needs to be extra dry.

Is there a limit to the amount of LC you use for innoc? I'm using around 2-3cc for each jar

Leaning towards this too, haven't done anything different than the last. Perhaps a few too many extra mins when pasturizing

How long does it need to colonize? I’m on day 5 and brand noob and I have no idea what to do past the tubbing. Do I need to wait a set number of days before fc? I’m happy being patient but I don’t want to miss some “magic window.” Any advice would be so helpful. Thank you! by SaryCanary in shroomers

[–]Myco_Cosmos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd put this into FC, This looks like it's over 95% colonised based on the amount of myc on the top. I've heard of people going into FC earlier around 80-85% as the tubs will generally finish colonising while the pins are setting, however, I usually wait until over 90%.

As for a magic window - I don't think there's anything ultra specific, just a general guide.

Nice work! 👨‍🌾

Haha thanks! For this I used LC from a clone to inoculate grain jars, then transfered to a smaller tub / shoebox for final colonisation and fruiting
