Ive had my all in one grow bag in fruiting conditions for a little over 2 weeks, but no pins. I may have waited too long to fruit and have some thick overlay. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I'm trying to determine how much space I need to reliably produce an average of 2 pounds of mushrooms a day.

Say I inoculate a 5lb bag of rye with lion's mane liquid culture. I let it fully colonize. How long will that take? Then I use some of that grain spawn to inoculate a 5 lb bag of sawdust with some wheat germ. How long will it be until I can harvest? Add those two together and I'll get long it takes from initial inoculation to harvest.

What would be the difference if I made a 3 pound grain spawn bag? If I made a 3 pound grow bag? Would one pound grain spawn bags be feasible?

I also want to grow shiitake, chestnuts, italian oyster, black king, king trumpet, and maybe a few others. Which take longer and which take less time?

Would it be better to harvest the first flush then move on to the next grow bag or wait for the second flush?

I'm looking for a ballpark idea of now much monotub and grow tent space I'll need. So would it be better to use all grow tents, or should I use monotub for certain varieties or for grain spawn or grow bags?

I know I have a lot of questions here. I would appreciate any help with this.

I'm planning to grow actives in a warm climate. What should I do to maintain temperature for liquid culture and agar plate and for spawning and fruiting. Can I do it inside a refrigerator? Or is temperature regulation not really that important? The temperature fluctuates between 26 to 28 degree celsius.

29g dehydrated at 105 degrees for 24 hours. The stems were a little spongy under the cap area, but thought was just due to the hole in the center. Now 24hr after drying they have a moist/moldy smell in the jar. Put them right back in the dehydrator. Are they trash?? Are they salvageable? Going to dry again for 12 hours and see if there is a smell.

After stalling out in the low humidity Colorado air I covered with ziploc bag and set in a shallow water pool. Boom, the humidity jacked up so they grew in. Can't tend to them enough to remove bag every day. Any other suggestions? Do the properties (other than looks) change with low air exchange? Photo in comments.

Hi all,

New grower here. I have a round of pf tek jars going right now that are very healthy and doing well. I went out to get more syringes cuz I want to start another round and ended up getting two different strains. So I guess what I was wondering is if it’s okay or possible to fruit two different strains in the same terrarium out of cakes or if that’s a no no. I couldn’t find any info online so I came here.

TIA

Kit has been sitting on a shelf at 68-72F and ~30% rH. I’ve been spraying around 4-5 times a day to counteract the low rH. Any advice would appreciated

Saw this yellow color in the corner. Sub is coir, spawn was Milo. Do I need to toss?

Everything on the grow is going well except I noticed this discoloration on a patch today. Thoughts?

My B+ tubs are running happily and healthy for the most part. I have one corner in a tub starting to show some yellowing. I’ve tried to add a little water to the sides of the cake around the yellow corner hoping a little extra water would help the mycelium in that area.

Any suggestions on how to help the area stay healthy for the rest of the flush?

Is this pinning? Or am I tripping

Is it trash or salvageable? 2nd attempt.

Ignore that little patch on the sub to the right it was slight bruised after I dropped my fucken mini air conditioner fan on the sub like 3 days ago but it’s pinning as normal and keeping an eye the discolouring is just the recovery process of the mycelium.

For reference this was :

Inoculated - 17/12/2024

 S2B       - 21/01/2025

So this photograph is about 11 days after S2B

idk if that's the right tag but anyway. there are a lot of mushrooms in this forest, not sure if they are edible. i was wondering would it hurt the mushrooms there if i planted some store bought edible mushrooms in a couple places? is it a bad idea?
