I recently switched to Coco in Felt pots inside my tent (Because, I still had a couple of my old plastic pots with potting soil I sandwiched the plastic pots in between the Felt ones.).
Last week these started to appear.
So, I pulled the pots because I have no idea what they are just that I donât want them to contaminate my place anymore than it is.
Anyone have any idea on what kind of mushrooms they are?
No vail or bruising.
Typical plant pot mushrooms, not really edible, not psychoactive⌠Just means your media and root space is super healthy, enough to pop some fungus, good job!
Wasnât planning on eating them.
But, the next ones that pop up will be edible.
I just figured that the universe decided to give me a poke in a direction.
Lol I figured you werenât but wanted to make sure⌠Notice the cracking/splitting caps⌠Humidity a bit too low for fungus to thrive but it will definitely try
Yes, humidity is low (Didnât want to risk white mold when I first put the Felt pots in.).
This was the first time I used Coco & Felt pots.
On the first day (That I introduced the pots to the tent.)when I opened the tent to tell them goodnight the humidity was 86% < (Which, was to high for what I was currently doing.).
So, I readjust the air flow.
Now, I donât have to worry about the humidity (Taking a break from current crop.) switching the crop to lettuce (From what I hear, Mushrooms love growing around them.).
Hey everyone, happy Sunday. My PEs finally started to fruit after about 3 weeks. What I believe got me going was tossing a piece of parchment paper on top of cake as casing layer! Definitely a great quick fix!
My question lies with the picture Iâm adding, this fruit started to split and really turn blue. I removed some tiny mold spores from right next to base of fruit with a spoon I was dipping in alcohol. Is that why itâs doing that? Just wondering!
There is either a contam that you canât see or not enough oxygen and fresh air changes⌠Looks almost like a trichoderma pushed pinset that never fully grew out but did grow some
I havenât been thru the thread yet, but yâall exchanging prints or cultures? I may want to start messing around w some gourmet and medicinal varieties this winter. Wouldnât mind getting set up to then take some stuff like oysters and shiitake outdoors.
Anyone been passing some stuff around that might be able to help me get started? Been 7 or 8 years or longer since I grew any fungus but I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I will start another tote and try to get more air exchange. Iâve been doing un modded tubs and havenât had this problem yet. I just switched to an all black tub because I couldnât stop the side pins and now theyâre gone just need the bigger fruits up top.
Well, Hurricane Sally contaminated all my stuff, Prints included when the house flooded.
Then the next night with the winds the house came off its blocks and we had to vacate for the night.
So, the Tweakers got my Seed Archive that I had in my filing cabinet.
Hope, all my brothers here in the Panhandle are safe & contam free.
Think Iâll be done for awhile know. Keep up the good work here brothers & Sisters.
You havenât heard the last from me.
Okay guys. I have been researching here lately and i am about to purchase all the necessary equipement to grow my own mushrooms. Whats the best place to obtain my spores from. Also, I plan on using BFR tek unless someone here steers me otherwise. I plan on getting a pressure cooker and using a SAB during the inoculation process. I have a nice empty closet i can sanitize as well. I plan on being the upmost hygeine while doing it. So really, Im just hoping i can post pics and ask questions along my journey in this thread and get recommendations on the best place to obtain spores. Also, if there is a variety that is more beginner friendly then another i would like those recommendations as well.
do you use reddit? there are a handful of trusted users there who supply spores. I recently got into doing my own and I started with the Uncle Bens tek. super easy. you can google it and the reddit page will come up with a step by step for how to get started.
I will check it out for sure. Im very overwhelmed with the many many varieties available on sporeworks and other sites. Im currently looking at there albino penis envy uncut variety.
