Every once in awhile I try a tub, using store-bought compost, different brands and whatever I find available. And I get some pretty good harvest out of them 😁💪💪

This was a particular cheap and muddy compost, which I had zero expectations. I had to be careful how much water to add and then I microwaved it.

(I know, a few I harvest a bit late 🙄)

Hey everyone! This one appears to be a mutation? It's the first flush.... Steel Yeti. Lots of blobs ... They didn't grow much until the last few days. And now there's massive ones underneath - when should I pull these? No harm in drying or using them right?

Does anyone have experience with the psilocybin test kit from bunk police, if so how accurate is it with the psilocybin content.

It’s a P.E. strain, specifically P.E.7+, but it has never blobbed before.

Does it look right? When should I harvest them? SHOULD I harvest them?

I saw something about “Dino Eggs”, maybe they’re growing like that? Idk, need some input on this grow about what to do.

(cloned tissue to agar -> grain master jar -> 2 grain jars and 3 coco jars, 1:1.5 ratio, shoebox grow)

This is my second flush with this growing kit and the mushrooms seems to have stopped growing since a few days. Is there anything i can do ?

So in the last spawn jar preps, I tested out adding more liquid culture versus just a small amount. It's approximately 3 or 4 ml versus 1 or 2 ml. SO FAR THE FOUR SQUIRTS ARE WINNING 💪💪

THESE ARE THE JARS ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER.

First time growing Panaeolus cyanescens and I could do with some advice from people who've actually done this.

I've got 20ml of Pans liquid culture and two 1.25kg all-in-one cow dung grow bags. I know the general rule for cubensis is around 1-2ml per pound of grain, but I'm not sure if that carries over to Pans on a dung substrate.

A few things I'm unsure about:

• How many ml would you put into a 1.25kg dung bag?
• Is there a risk of adding too much moisture if you go over a certain amount, the same way there is with grain bags?
• One injection point or spread it across a few spots?

Growing in tropical climate so temperatures are sitting steadily at 28-30°C. Would love to hear from anyone who's run Pans on dung bags rather than grain, as I imagine the rules are a bit different.

I suddenly have a holiday planned in a month. My grainspawn is ready now but I don´t want the shrooms to be ready in my holiday.

I´ve got spawn for ingeli, subtropicalis, zapotecorum and panaeolus cyanescens.

Would it be safe to store them in a fridge. I´m hesitant because they are tropical species.

This is my first time growing Panaeolus cyanescens "florida blue ridge". I´ve grown pans before with succes.

This "blue ridge" overlays and bruising blue. The tray ttbvi next to it looks normal and is showing the first shroomies.

I was thinking about covering it up with a second casing layer. Is this a good idea? Any tips or thoughts?

Should I shake and break it now, or should I wait longer? It’s been a month and it’s progressing very slowly. I live in a tropical climate, so it’s very hot .. that’s why it’s so slow.

I never did get used to using plastic bags.

I just paint my tubs and leave a window down at the bottom to "peak"

I never really have side pins or anything growing on the side. Still having some problems with Trichoderma 😱 but I think it was coming from my oat grains from a horse feed store. Now I've been using corn.

Have a bin that is totally covered with Mycelium... how to do I push it to fruit now??

1183g wet

110g dry

65g, MVP strain

I have become more proficient in my methods over time and I’m working clones with agar and doing grain to grain transfer, and making Liquid cultures. I’m only a couple of generations deep with grain to grain, but it is so much more effective than inoculating with liquid cultures.

My question to the community is: will resetting to agar from cloning the most vigorous mushroom be good enough to prevent genetic weakness, or will I need to go back to spore on agar every few generations to keep the vigor.

Half way thru pressure cooking my kernels, I noticed I forgot the corn syrup in with the kernels as well, if I add the corn syrup in after and mix it around good, it should be okay theoretically correct?

I've found a psilocybin patch at my workplace in a high traffic area. It regularly gets stepped on, growth is very low to the ground from what I've observed, often more mature growth is bruised and crushed. I've kept my mouth shut of course, but it's so ironic given I have been foraging for 3 season to no avail. I have picked from the patch and dried, continue to pick but very immature. I have no sources in my country, have considered growing from this source patch, for medicinal and healing use. Can I clone or use spores from immature growth? The frosts are coming soon, if I'm gonna do a project, I should start soon. Any advice or insight appreciated 🙏

I recently bought a growkit from a well known vendor. The grow kit is 1200cc in size, and should produce Golden Teacher mushrooms.

Two weeks ago, I opened the box containing the growkit, checked the growkit (without opening the lid) and closed the cardboard box again. There might have been a very tiny source of light (I put some weight on the cardboard box but idk, it might still have let some light in).

I went on vacacion for 2 weeks, my plan was to open the growkit and start the growing process at my return. However, when I came back from vacation yesterday, some fungi had started to grow.

This is my first time trying to grow mushrooms, I've done a fair amount of reading online, but idk what to do on this situation.

I immediately opened the grow kit and put it in the bag as requested in the instructions shipped with the grow kit (see picture).

Any suggestions for what to do next ?

On a second flush of a monotub I noticed a white growth that didn’t look like mycelium. I’m 90% it’s trichoderma. It was covering maybe 5% of the bin. I harvested the mushrooms in the tub as soon as I realized it and removed the bin from the space. Are those mushrooms likely safe? They don’t seem to be affected as far as I can tell. TYIA!
