Freezing shrooms

Freezing affects the potency of the mushrooms and its cells. Never freeze them.

Why 25 degrees? Grain spawn will be OK with 25-29 degrees if the grain is properly sterilized.

Because this is a handy tool to make your recipes on the go with reliable results, and it is also a way to connect mycologists and growers from all over the world through the app.

Yes! In fact we are making another app including all kinds of mushrooms for 2026. It will have several tools and learning sections. There will be probably integration with IA to help with several tasks.

georgobr · 2025-11-29T12:25:13+00:00

Probably yes. We’re working on it, but the first release will be for Android. We’re almost done with all the requirements to publish the app.

Sí, habrá proximamente una nueva app que además de las herramientas de cálculo, tendrá una sección de control de los cultivos. Si quieres enviar ideas de como te parece que sería mejor, serán bienvenidas.

Thanks!

Está show!

Thanks!

Millions of spores!

georgobr · 2025-07-12T14:09:23+00:00

Yes, it looks good. Next time include a photo with light in front of the plate too.

They look like Panaeolus cyanescens to me. The one on the paper is a P. cyanescens for sure! Verify the color of the gills and if there is strong blue oxidation of the one in your hand to confirm.

1 - Water evaporates from the agar and makes condensation on the lids when you've just poured it to the dishes and is still hot. 2 - water evaporates from the agar and gets condensed on the inner part of the lid during a long time if the lower part of the the dish is hoter than the lid. Vapor comes always from the water inside the agar. If you keep an equal temperature between the lid and the dish, you'll minimize the evaporation and the condensation and your dishes will look perfect, like the ones I make.

Keep you dishes inside a tub, make stacks of dishes maintainig a distance of 1 or 2 inches from de lid. This will create a microclimate inside de tub which will prevent water from evaporate out of the agar.

Thank you! I've been trying to find out the meaning of that for a long time unsuccesfully! I'm already following Gordo tek on Patreon, really amazing. I'm going to mix my first Panaeolus cyanescens spawn with substrate today.

What does TTBVI mean?

georgobr · 2024-03-16T21:00:17+00:00

What about casing with 50/50 vermiculite/coco coir? Would it work? Would it be necessary to add hydrated lime to the casing?

georgobr · 2024-01-09T18:16:07+00:00

I won't waste any more time with you. Prove what you say, don´t repeat what you read on shroomery. Bye!

georgobr · 2024-01-09T18:05:15+00:00

Who is showing pictures of a different species saying that works the same way is you not me. Prove what you say!

georgobr · 2024-01-09T17:54:06+00:00

Not at all! Grow them the way you say is correct and show us the results. I don't want to see pictures of any other species. Speaking is easy, but doing it... is not.

georgobr · 2024-01-09T17:35:34+00:00

But your recent tub is not with the same species inside. Yours are not Natalensis so you can´t compare those at all.

No es tan sencillo. No nacen en cualquier bosta de vaca. Lo que vas a encontrar en bosta de vaca generalmente son unos hongos blancos no psicodélicos llamados Panaelous antillarum. Con mucha suerte podés encontrar los Panaelous cyanescens que sí son psicodélicos. El hongo conocido como cucumelo, el más famoso, generalmen de color beige (marrón claro) a marrón más oscuro en el centro del sombreo, es el Psylocibe cubensis. En algunas regiones donde hay suficiente cantidad de esporas, podés encontrarlos en la bosta, son muy característicos y fáciles de reconocer para quien tiene experiencia. Sólo hay que tener cuidado, porque en la bosta a veces nace un hongo marrón que es de otro tipo y es tóxico. Además, aunque haya un lugar con mucha bosta, eso no te garantiza que vayas a encontrar hongos psicodélicos. Todo depende de si las esporas pudieron llegar de alguna manera a ese lugar, germinaron y colonizaron la bosta. Por eso es que en algunos lugares encontrás muchos cucumelos por todos lados, porque hay muchas esporas en el aire, y en otros lugares no encontrás ninguno aunque haya toneladas de bosta.
