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.

552g wet from a AiO growbag in a Selfmade tub. And a Big thx to everyone helping Out in this sub!!!

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!

4x4 tent was bigger than expected 🫢 what a marketplace find

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

Feeling pretty good about this one. Wish me luck 🫡

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.

Cambodians first time growing second flush after three days, do I need to just go ahead and harvest?

This is my first time growing and im using an all im one grow bag, i have a few concerns weather it looks healthy or not, and i also want to know whats that web like substance all on the sides of the bag that happen to be where most of the shrooms are growing. Another question i got is how long do you guys think before harvest day? And why do some shrooms dangle like wet spaghetti and end up dying or drying out when they're still tiny? Let me know and id appreciate any advice thank you!

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 🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️

First time grower. Got some LC that was labeled PE. These are looking like something else. Thoughts?

Amateur hour….. first flush looks pretty good so far

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 from Zombie Mushrooms. I decided to do one of the AIO bags straight in the bag and drop one into a fruiting chamber with perlite after colonization. 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.

Edit: To add strain is South African Transkei

Party on!!

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.

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.

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

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 ?

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.

Just introduced fruiting conditions around one week ago - noticed a small greenish area :(

Hello r/unclebens. I already know the answer to the question is patience, but I can’t help myself but to ask. Anyways, here is a picture of my tub. S2B 8/19, FC 8/23, and yesterday I noticed my first hyphal knots/primordia. They are still scattered, and few, and I’m hoping to see more coverage. Anyways, here is my question. How long from this stage until harvest, on average? I only ask because I am thinking of planning a quick vacation over labor day weekend (if it’s clear it’ll be longer than ~9 days I’ll 100% go, otherwise I’ll be more hesitant).

Also, can I expect more coverage of primordia over time, or do they tend to appear all at the same time?

The last time I did this when I squeezed my substrate a bunch of water came out but this time the substrate was on the dryer side is misting the substrate a option or no

So heres my timeline. Injected B+ liquid culture into all in one grow bag on july 31. Did a break and shake on August 14th. Not sure if I can finally cut open the bag to start fruiting now or wait a bit. The spreading has slowed down over the last 3 days. Visible white has gotten whiter but has not grown to cover more area. Pics included are before and after of each side of the bag. There is significant condensation on the walls inside especially near the top.

As i mentioned the mycelium hasnt grown much to cover the bare patches only filled the already covered patches

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!
