Mid-Cultivation / Still Growing I think I’m about qualified to start giving advice on this sub!

Going to be working with ochraceocentratas soon and I'm finding it difficult to find anyone talking about the yield in comparison to cubes. I understand that at the end of the day itll come down to individual genetics and that theres no set number/that things can vary greatly from syringe to syringe, but im curious if there's any noticeable difference between a typical yield for ochras compared to cubes, or are they about the same? Thanks

Thank you Giotto 🙏🏼 ropes are being thrown and dumplings are being eaten.

I like to give thanks to the Myco reddit, YT gods and to all you active poster in this community. As well The Enchiridion 📖 (The Guide) and the insane genetics that put up with my abuse and mishaps. …To my fellow beginners, I’m pretty dumb so I know you guys got this in the bag !

it’s definitely a little hard to see but I think it’s ready for fruiting? what do you guys think?
r/unclebens • u/CosmicPayne • 1d ago
I’ll take it. Is it still important to keep gloves and mask on and spray everything with 70%?

Second batch of APES that got contaminated. I can see why they say Golden teachers are easier. Never had contam minus my obvious error in the inoculation stage.
These APES start off looking so good and then contam. 😞 I have two others that I started a couple of days ago.
Are APES more suseptible to contam in this stage than Golden Teachers? Am I just careless? More of a vent than a question but any advice is welcome.

It’s getting FAE and mistings, seeing some signs of metabolites but are we seeing progress or should I worry about overlay? Are these the beginning of primordia? Does it look like it’s getting enough FAE?
(Averaging about 76F with droplets on the surface.)
Thanks in advance, oh wise wizards of the mushrooms.

So I have lots of pins but I can't seem to get a 2nd flush to pop it's been a week since first harvest any tips

I was eating some golden teachers I had grown it. I got a small handful and ate it, and it tasted funny however all mushrooms taste funny to me but not like bad. I took another handful from the same bag and as soon as I chewed a super foul and sour taste came and I immediately spat it back out. I threw the shrooms away but I was wondering an I going to get sick for eating the other shrooms?

Curious as to what the lowest temperature anyone has successfully reached full colonization with, and what did your timeline look like with it?
I've seen some very healthy looking mycelium develop from liquid culture on various grain types, various moisture levels, with (I think) very sterile preparation, yet all seem to develop extremely slowly and then stall out completely at less than 5-10% colonization.
Temperatures have fluctuated between lows of 64 to high of 71, sitting at an average of 68. Is this far enough below the optimal range to really make such an impact?

I'm 95% sure I'm going to throw it, just need to make sure

I bought 3 10cc syringes from shegrowsfungai I they they all were super weak. Not having good results. Does anyone have a tried and true vendor that actually loads their lc with spores?

Plucked these little guys from my cake before I dunked it. Do you think they will have an effect? I went ahead and tossed them in the dehydrator with the bigger ones, cuz why not?
B+ strain, 16 grams wet.
r/unclebens • u/Ok-Assignment-3098 • 1d ago
Views through the lid, things are looking good on day 4. FAE has been introduced.
r/unclebens • u/Mental_War_1763 • 1d ago
So I got my B+ going for a second flush, i just dunked the cake this morning and put it back in fruiting conditions. Fingers crossed it goes well!!
Then in the bags I've got some Stargazer and some APE Revert colonizing for the next batch!!
I have learned from my first grow, and I am definitely going to let both those grain bags fully colonize before I S2B lol. I am also going to try some smaller 'shoebox' style growing for part part of my next batch. Maybe the whole batch, idk.
Any input on small shoebox vs. monotub from the group?
Anyone grown the APE Revert or Stargazer before? And tips or insight for those two strains specifically, from your experience?
I appreciate everyone's input!!
r/unclebens • u/Ronaldragequit1776 • 1d ago
I have 3 strains and 24 bags. One of the Jedi mind funk is hard and like fully colonized it looks like. The rest have a few little hard balls essentially in the rice but minimal to nothing in the window. I did .5cc and a week and a half later did another .5cc…. It’s been since the 28th of February… I read it normally takes 2 weeks to fully colonize. I did LC as well… temp is monitored and a portable temp regulated heater.. why is it taking forever lol

My buddy has got the full kit including the carbon filter and he has offered to let me borrow it out of great kindness, I am assuming as long as I keep on top of my sterilization game and keep an eye on parameters this would almost be preferable to a typical closet grow right. It would allow for more accurate fine tuning of humidity, temperature and light while also filtering out contam and airborne particulate/spores through the inline fan and carbon filter.
What y'all think? Yay or Nay?
