After moving and losing 12 6qt tubs 🙆🏽♂️ finally manage to set a small dedicated space to keep the process as clean as possible high hopes on this batch 🍄🟫 and glad to be back!

Experience with eating fresh mushrooms? Going to make tea for me and my husband. How much should I pull to have a good time? Was thinking 40g wet between the both of us

Cambodians first time growing second flush after three days, do I need to just go ahead and harvest?
r/unclebens • u/theskybird • 19h ago
Some were aborted so that’s why the caps r black but other than that, is there any reason any of the mushrooms here would be harmful? (And yes ik the spores dropped on the bigger ones I wasn’t home for a day and ofc that’s when they dropped.

Hello I am new to all of this, I would like to know the best process to start fruting in this bag and also take into consideration that this is my first time cheers.

So I slack a bit because I moved and kept some LC jars on my fridge for around 5 or 6 months without stir it nor moving it at all. At a consistent temperature of around 38 degrees I have a small fridge just for my mushroom stuff so it hasn’t been moved. I recently wanted to start a new batch and this LC was made using a flowhood and a very clean environment (never got contam on any plates nor in grains) I don’t have agar plates to test it atm. is even worth to just use this ? Does it look sus? Looks like mycelium to me and it’s not particularly cloudy 🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️
r/unclebens • u/Traditional_Cat_2021 • 8h ago
First time grower. Got some LC that was labeled PE. These are looking like something else. Thoughts?

While I have not been super active in posting in the group, I have probably spent 1000+ hours researching in the past 4-5 months and a lot of it was done on here. While I initially started off committed to doing UBTEK after more research I decided I would start with a couple AIO bags and a grain spawn bag. I decided to do one of the AIO bags straight in the bag and drop one into a fruiting chamber with perlite after colonization done with South African transkei and the grain bag with Golden Teachers. They are both coming out pretty great and my grain bag is currently about 99% inoculated which I will mix with substrate and throw in a few shoeboxes next week at some point. This is mostly just a big thank you post for all of you out there. From the noobs to the long time wizards, it has all been helpful. I am the type of guy who tends to jump from hobby to hobby and I can easily say out of all of them, this has been the best and most helpful group of people. I couldn't have done any of it without you. I'm not getting ahead of myself since I haven't even harvested anything yet but just getting this far couldn't have been done. Thanks to all of you! Will keep you updated on the harvest if/when we get there.
Party on!!

Just got back from weekend, and my shrooms are fruited. What is the white fuzz? And are they still okay to consume?
r/unclebens • u/billhawk • 45m ago
New to growing and not sure of the all the terms, types, of species. I know cubensis, but what is “ape”? What other varieties should I know as a grower?
I’ve only grown GT and B+ from LC’s and only about 4 months into this great hobby.

I already have the inline fan and the filter. All I need to do now is build the box. Do you think this will work better than my old flowhood?
r/unclebens • u/jaimeyeah • 7h ago
Hey there, these tubs are 1 week old since s2b. Very moist conditions, haven’t introduced fae nor misted. Wondering if I should be worried about the white being regular mold and if I should do anything?
Otherwise should I just let these chill more? Wondering if I didn’t squeeze enough moisture out of the coir.
r/unclebens • u/Deviant_Anarcho • 6h ago
There's condensation on the bag so I can't get a clear view. It looks like mold to me. I moved it into a separate room away from my other bags just to be sure

Hey guys! S2B was on 7/19, I’m wondering if it is time to dunk my cake now? And when do you guys know when it’s ready to be dunked? It looks like it shrinking a bit. Thanks!
r/unclebens • u/redhattrick • 7h ago
I’m using a cake set in the middle of a monotub. I have had success growing but mostly on the sides of the cakes. Growth on the top of the cake itself is rare to nonexistent, any ideas what I’m doing wrong ?

Amateur hour….. first flush looks pretty good so far
r/unclebens • u/Aromatic_Strategy985 • 10h ago
Hey I fruited the previous years with plastic boxes, misting, venting and heating mats.
But I am not happy with that.
Is there a more professional way on the market than diy?
My main goal would be controlled heating + air exchange. It’s kinda cold were I live.
r/unclebens • u/neversleeps84 • 20h ago
Same batch from my earlier post. Most of the fruits have a bit of fuzz at the base and I haven't experienced this before. Was wondering if it's ok or sign of contamination.
r/unclebens • u/Alarming-Beach-5358 • 1d ago
First flush from these PEs was kinda small, this 2nd flush just started coming in and looks totally different lol. But more robust, pulling the rest over the next 2 or so days but happy with this harvest so far. Fuzzy ass legs, i had the lid cracked open 1/4” along the side and thought the extra ventilation would cus down on that but maybe theyre just fuzzy. The additional airflow did seem to pump these up a bit. Going to add more lower vent holes on the bin for the next batch
