Hey OG Fam!
I am reaching out to see if anyone has interest in trading seeds for a couple of those prebag setups.
Gourmet is fine!
Psilly is cool too.
Iâm just starting with my toes in the water. I know there are other methodologies, but I have curiosities about the pre-ready bags first.
If no trades, we can talk other details!

Unless you can get a clean liquid culture or sterile spore syringe if going to premade bag. Best chance to get those clean is through a vendor imo. Some mycologists take the time to make sterile syringes but also do agar work so not as important. This is my opinion if spending $ on premade bags spend the $ for better chance of sterile spore syringes. Also if gourmet they can send liquid culture in mail that would be best way.

I hear ya. Yeah, I have syringes already.
I am mainly curious about the bags but if there were extras I was happy with that too!
So I guess I should say, I have seeds for trade if anyone has some of the premade bags.

Usually you can buy any substrate that you want in pre-sterilized bags. You can innoculate them with your own spores. That way you dont need a pressure cooker. It is just simpler. I know for certain that ebay has them.

Iâm definitely happy with the results, pinks exploding from anywhere they can. This is proof that any advice given online should always be take with a grain of salt. Something I learned to do with cannabis but Iâm still new to learning the ins and outs of mushroom growing. If I had listened to a previous members recommendation I would have thrown all the spawn in the garbage
. The Bucket that was given to me as a bonus by the mushroom man because of the little mishap is about 5 days behind.

Awesome job man! Glad it worked out for you man! Knee jerk reactions can leave you just full of regret sometimes.

first time growing black pearl oyster kings. I cut the top of the bag off and had it sitting upright but it was collecting too much moisture. So I turned it on the side. On second thought, I probably should have just slashed one of the sides instead of taking off the top of the bag. I know thereâs still baby primordia but Kind of looks like theyâre dry or too much CO2?

For kings I usually just open the top of the bag, maybe roll it down an inch or 2 sometimes.
Kings do well with higher co2 compared to most other edibles. Long stems and small caps-higher co2. The small pins are fine eating also, some people only grow kings as pins.

This site is ok to talk just not in communications. @MushroomManMycology will surely direct you to a review page.
So just a quick show to everyone that going from a spore print dirty af to clean culture hopefully lol.
Hereâs transfers to clean agar. You see (maybe not) the piece I transferred the mycelium exploded over the entire transfers piece overnight.
sorry for bad pics but next weekend I should be able to show you beautiful clean mycelium growing across my agar! Cheers all! Ok canât see shit in those pics sorry but will show healthy mycelium pics when ready lol.

I find that whole myco study loop hole hilarious in its absurdity like most laws trying to define and regulate. Like how when/where weeds illegal you have to call bongs âwater pipesâ or the whole delta 8/thca workaround, equally ridiculous ridiculousness you have no choice but to laugh at

I need to get into playing with agar⌠Itâd be fun to check out under a microscope too, Iâm thinkin about trying one of those foldscopes

Agar is super easy and fun! Plus knowing you are putting a clean culture to sterile spawn is rest assuring. Hoping the mycelium is stronger than whatever contam hits your jars sucks man! Most Bacterial is much weaker than mycelium but will have diminished yields but will fruit. Others can be devastating trichoderma(green Forrest or mean green) is awesome for plants but will destroy mycelium and mushroom fruit. Can look like a weird atomic bomb melting mushroom good itâs pretty gross actually but is great for the compost pile. Agar is really easy especially the no pour methods for starters.

woah I both hope I never see that in my grows and want to see that. some contam is kinda cool to watch grow, sucks a big bag of dicks you lose out on some mush but not a total loss if you count entertainment value. I enjoy watching them grow about as much as I like taking them these days. I gave away most of my harvests, their was one really fun day at a new job that def didnât hurt when time came to decide to hire me or keep me as a temp
