Afternoon folks, quick question on harvesting. I understand waiting till veil drops before picking. Question is should I wait for others to drop as well or pick as individuals drop or wait till a few have matured in this way?

However you want to really ā¦ I like to wait until quite a few break veil but I also donāt really mind if they spore all over the substrate either thoughā¦ but would harvest the whole thing within a day or so of beginning to pick so you can lessen the chance for contams before maybe getting a second flush

Just as I was thinking of making a Martha inside a closet that I was planning on turning into a clean room then I found this:
Possible ?
Then right next to it I found this:
Two platforms on locking casters that can be connected together with a couple wing nuts to make one big platform.
Score!

Sorry, to hear that.
I donāt think youād have a problem if you got locked in these there like Rubbermaid Lockers you could bust out of one these without to many problems, if any

I bought a Mushroom kit in Vancouver years agoā¦but after coming up with no more that a few P. Cubensis to show for itā¦the kit went into storageā¦ Thats gotta be 20āyears agoā¦
In all honesty I would chalk it up to a Cowboy approachā¦gung-hoā¦with little focus on the fine art of growing itselfā¦I would love to give it another crack at some point.
Thoughts?..Cubensis still the best starting point for someone who took mushrooms Way-y-y back in university?
Thanks

Yes! Cultivating is so much more accessible these days, and there are so much more methods you can do and still get decent success. Hereās a bunch of links that iāve put together when I started to learn. Thereās a neat new tek called āspiderman tekā or āuncle ben tekā which involves using bags of uncle benās wholegrain rice. Its pretty neat Reddit - Dive into anything

The same 2 tubs 5 days later
Top one colonised VERY quickly, and starting to pin. The bottom tub was a write off from the start because of the previous attempt. Strange fruits. Cant tell if its because of the heat as well as the bad genetics.
I have another series on the go to test out soon
Additional transfers for the top tub, and the jars so I can keep them going in the future

Bottom tub are mutant blobsā¦ Still very good fruits I promise lol sometimes monotubs will throw weird fruits first flush but second flush will clear up

yeah im not too bothered about that tub. I still have plenty of fruit from my last runs. these are more for testing out the isolations iāve been keeping. The I series is definitely getting binned! III and V are the new top contenders

Oysters Mushrooms is what I heard everyone uses to cut their teeth on.
Because, itās such an aggressive fungus.
But, I think Cubeās were next on the list.
