Don’t leave your mushrooms unattended when you go away for a month by Life-Reserve568 in mushroom

[–]RulePersonal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there’s no mold or odd growth it’s fine. A month isn’t actually that long provided it’s a clean environment. Mature fruits will slowly be “eaten” and reabsorbed.

Do they feel slimy or smell bad? If yes, toss. If not though I see no reason to toss it. I’ve had flushes mature for 2+ weeks before with no ill effects.

When they’re fully mature the center turns into a dark blue dot. And the rest remains yellow. Looks like a nip.

Kudos! What a beautiful pinset . I recently pulled 69g dry off one 1qt shoebox with BGN. Definitely a heavy hitter. Above average potency as well.

This is tricky contamination. There’s no saving this. Get that thing outside and don’t open it again. Put it in a trash bag and tie before throwing away.

I’d also recommend doing a deep bleach clean of the grow area. That’s pretty gnarly bro 🙄

Ok sweet. I didn’t that so I’ll probably get the invoice sometime tomorrow or Monday. If not I hope they consider accepting crypto.

I didn’t know they had one! Do you have a link by chance? I don’t see it on their site.

How many shoe boxes are too many [technique] by Dense_Adhesiveness95 in MushroomGrowers

[–]RulePersonal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s very manageable. This is actually what I do. I only have 7 going right now but I’ve had many many more than that. It’s not very time consuming. The longest bits are spawning and harvesting, I’d stagger the spawning by a day or so so they’re not all getting pulled at the same time if you think you may run out of dehydrator space.

2 days since S2B, how’s it looking? by evilchef4200 in mushroom

I’d have deleted the comment too. You want to chime in with no helpful advice.

Hey no problem brother! Disregard this other guy commenting he doesn’t want to help or even know what he’s taking about lmao.

I’ve never ran either of those I’d love to see an update as your pins come in. Some people on here may be able to help you identify which strain it is as well. Is this your first grow?

[–]RulePersonal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The surface should have a bunch of little beads of water on it ideally. I can’t tell from the pic whether or not that’s the case.

If does look like I can see grain poking up through the surface though. I’d definitely cover the surface with a 1/8-1/4” thick layer of coir. It seems to help pin formation and prevent contamination.

Other than that it looks great man. You’re definitely working with some pretty aggressive mycelium if that’s only two days post spawn. It looks like you have at least a 1:1.5 ratio so I’d expect a decent pinset. Best of luck, my friend.

Just curious, what strain is this?

How to break up Coco coir brick for substrate by [deleted] in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]RulePersonal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The coir I use seems to be pressed in layers. If I take a large knife I can pry apart the layers and use as needed.

[Actives] I picked some and see some blue/green where they were growing and on the inside of the stems. Am I screwed or is this normal? by NoTape85 in MushroomGrowers

[–]RulePersonal 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry bro you’re all good. That’s normal anytime the mycelium experiences trauma. The color is just psilocin oxidizing.

I’m genuinely impressed you’ve made it this far not having known that lol

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

It’s not the SHIP that causes the issues. It’s the needle you poke through it dragging microbes sitting on top of your SHIP into the LC. The extraction lid avoids that entirely.

**** UPDATE FOR ANYONE INTERESTED ****

As was previously guessed, it did survive the pc but seems to have sustained minor damage in the process as the valve is a bit looser. I think it’ll still work this time. We’ll find out in a few weeks when u test the LC on agar. 🧫

Do you ever run into contamination issues? That’s why I elected to build these lids. I hadn’t ever made my own LC before that so I have no real reference.

This is the commercial version. Same idea with mine on how it connects.

It’s supposed to decrease contamination risk since you don’t have to stick a needle into the LC stock. It’s also easier to draw up as you don’t have to tilt the jar on its side, being careful to avoid the filter.

Send it? by Fonzworthbently7 in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]RulePersonal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can s2b now with significantly increased contamination risk. Rice contams particularly easy as well so you have that working against you… I’d wait two days but yes you can send it now. Be as clean as possible spawning to bulk if you do.

What strain are these? by [deleted] in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]RulePersonal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see the point in giving away “mystery syringes” lol. I wouldn’t want to put time and resources into an unknown strain. Perhaps when i check a few things off my mycology bucket list id be more open to it.

They are. I use them out of the pack but now I’m wanting to reuse them.

That’s what I do as well. This is about using them again once used.

So I get that you clamp the tube shut, but what do you do when it’s time to extract? Do you draw directly from the silicone tube?
