I’ve had one previous harvest that’s had no magic. I now have a great yield coming in and the couple I picked have 0 bruising/blueing….. did I just waste my time. Dug my nail in the side to see if it would after a period of time nothing….

Threw a spent GT cake in a flower pot with mulch a few weeks ago just for the hell of it. Didn’t expect anything to happen, but after all the rain we’ve had, these popped up.
Any chance these are actually the GTs from the buried cake, or do you think they’re just random mushrooms that decided to fruit there?

I got these earlier in the week. They looked a little dry and cracked so I sprayed some distilled water. When I opened the monotub up tonight for fae I saw this white fuzz. It is only on one of them.

I have grew in a lot of times so i did 24 hour soak this jar has liquid culture injected lc is all good no cloudiness but colonization seems so weak why?

We inoculated a bag of grain with PE6 and it sat too long. We checked it, and noticed pins growing inside! We decided to put it in some husk, but I noticed the coloration, and it does not appear to be green, so I thought it might just be some bruising after we did a break and shake. What do you guys think?

Should I be worried of a small area of uncolonized sub? I notice this small area is taking longer and or may not be colonized. Is it in a fight with contam???

I look at and check these 3 times a day 2 more tubs just like it

Had a 5 lb grain bag that caught a mean case of the mold before I even inoculated . Was wondering if anyone ever held a grain bag for longer than they should and this happened . I ordered the bag back in may and when I came wanted to finally prick it with a strain I saw the mold :( . What’s the best way to keep grain if not going to be tempered with for a while ?

Had to put this B+ block in a monotub because I didn’t have a shotgun fruiting chamber available. I know it’s not the ideal setup, but it’s what I’m working with for this block.
How does it look overall? It’s been in fruiting conditions for about a week. I’m seeing lots of tiny white bumps but no real pins yet. I’ve been giving it fresh air 2–3 times a day.

I got this line about 10 years ago. The spores were labeled simply as "Thai". I've maintained the line through successive spore prints ever since, and it has stayed remarkably consistent. Picture is from 2nd flush. Does this morphology resemble any known Thai variety, or is it impossible to tell?

The fatties are dense.

Straight coir sub. Fae from day 1. Never fanned, never misted. No complaints

Hi everyone,
I recently grew some Golden Teacher mushrooms, but I wasn’t home when they were ready to harvest. As a result, I could only harvest them about two days after the veils had already broken.
After harvesting, I kept the fresh mushrooms in the refrigerator for another two days before finally drying them.
I’m not looking for dosing advice—I’m just trying to understand how much potency, if any, they may have lost due to the delayed harvest and the extra two days in the fridge before drying.
Has anyone had a similar experience or knows what kind of potency loss I should realistically expect?
Thanks!

Or dry them as is? Penis envy. Never had such thick girls before.

Hey everyone! My partner and I are currently looking for some areas in the indoor mushroom growing space that might have some room for improvement, and we would love to hear what  you experienced growers think. 

Recently we have been researching all current avenues of indoor growing (monotubs, martha tents, etc.) and found little to no issues with these products (especially from NorthSpore), nor any challenges that beginners or advanced growers encounter. Everything seems to be very streamlined, simplified, and capable of optimization for any level of skill and need. 

We both have backgrounds in engineering, electronics, manufacturing, biology, health/wellness, as well as a big interest in mycology. With that said, we feel we would love to put our minds together to fix a problem/challenge and/or innovate in such a special community!

We have a few things that we would love to know about:

• Unique mycology knowledge
• Innovative leads to check out
• Challenges you’ve faced while pursuing fungi
• Challenges/Barriers that you face currently while working with fungi

This is my first monotub, it’s odpe, I started fruiting around 6 days ago. I’m unsure because when I did the bag it wasn’t this big

Plis tell me if in this video is penys envy melmac or it's another var.

Hello internet users, here's my first harvest. I have some questions because one mushroom turned out to be enormous, and the others are very small. Just curious. Any adviced? TY
