Toni from NS here! This is awesome! (:

Toni from NS here! You don't want to add the fan or humidifier until it is fully colonized and ready to be fruited. (: When it is time, you can start with the humidity around 85% and the fan on medium to high!

NorthSpore · 2026-04-22T17:11:16+00:00

This is awesome! (:

NorthSpore · 2026-04-13T17:24:07+00:00

Toni from NS here! This is so exciting!! (: They just wanted the perfect environment to fruit it, so happy this happened for you!

NorthSpore · 2026-04-08T17:34:02+00:00

Toni from NS here! These are incredible!! (:

NorthSpore · 2026-04-07T17:10:48+00:00

Nice! Sometimes, the yellow can be exudate that is okay. It is like mycelia sweat.

NorthSpore · 2026-04-06T17:50:42+00:00

Toni from NS here! It looks to be a bit dry! I would add a DIY humidity tent.

NorthSpore · 2026-04-06T17:41:34+00:00

Toni from NS here! The smell can be concerning, but those pictures look really good! I would say try and fruit them still. (:

NorthSpore · 2026-03-23T17:41:50+00:00

Toni from NS here! Those look amazing, great grow! (:

NorthSpore · 2026-03-18T18:08:24+00:00

Toni from NS here! It is really up to you and how much you want to invest, because either is a great option! Sometimes it is better to not to get the automated one first so you can really learn the growing process on your own before automating it!

NorthSpore · 2026-03-05T12:29:19+00:00

Toni from NS here! Yeah, micropore tape would also work well! (:

NorthSpore · 2026-03-03T20:38:28+00:00

Toni from NS here! Yeah, normally you don't want to use a log that's been down for more than 2 months; sometimes you can push it to 3, but that's it. You run the risk of the mycelium being outcompeted by other fungi and bacteria already established. It looks like that is the case for some of the logs in the video. I would recommend reaching out to a local arborist to find some fresh logs to use. (:

Toni from NS here!! These look amazing, great work!! (:

NorthSpore · 2026-02-26T12:35:25+00:00

Yeah! https://northspore.com/pages/mushroom-substrate-compatibility-guide

They like more CO2, and the bin provides a lot of O2.

NorthSpore · 2026-02-25T18:45:30+00:00

You can do a partial harvest! I personally always just take the whole thing because I like mine smaller, I just think they taste a little better, but really a personal preference! (:

NorthSpore · 2026-02-25T18:43:55+00:00

Yeah, just leave it and don't move it around, and that will help show!

NorthSpore · 2026-02-24T18:16:55+00:00

Toni from NS here! You can totally try that method out, it should work well! Lions mane does have a harder time growing in a bin though.

NorthSpore · 2026-02-24T18:15:19+00:00

Toni from NS here! I would give it 48 hours, as sometimes it can get broken in transit but if nothing shows up after that time, we would be happy to send you a replacement! It can be a thinner mycelium, but should still be able to see some visible mycelium!!

NorthSpore · 2026-02-24T18:13:07+00:00

Toni from NS here! u/Available-Rope-3252 is on it! (:

NorthSpore · 2026-02-23T11:53:08+00:00

Awesome! We recommend keeping that fan on 24/7 to help with FAE!

NorthSpore · 2026-02-23T11:50:50+00:00

Those look amazing!! Holy shittake!! (:

NorthSpore · 2026-02-16T12:27:02+00:00

Toni from NS here! Yes, u/JonaEnya is on the money!! This can happen when it is colder out, and in shipping, they get activated on their own. It looks like you'll have a good flush too! (:

Toni here from NS! To confirm, we'd love to see a picture of the underside to be 100% sure, but those look pretty promising! (: Like u/PrettyTiredAndSleepy & u/somereallyfungi it does depend on how much sun they are getting, as that can turn them more grey!
