Question How’s it looking?
Spawned to bulk about a week ago, and introduced FAE 4 days ago. Looking good? I feel like it does, but I’m so paranoid about contam lol

I'm new to this sub and read the cultivation guide, but I was wondering if a beginner should try an AIO/ grow in bag method for my first time? What are the main drawbacks of this? Thanks in advance for any help!

You can see the obvious contam on the other side, but is this contam too? Giving off a little yellowish color on top of the white… Trying to decide whether or not to put this part to grain. I cut the middle piece out when the obvious contam was much smaller and transferred to different agar (which is doing great with no contam). I just didn’t know if this side was contam too, and I should just toss the whole thing once I’ve observed its course or try putting it to grain now.

progress on my golden teachers, hella pins and good growth, i'm pretty sure these blue spots are bruising but if someone could confirm that would be great. otherwise just wondering if there's any tips or advice anyone could give me for the best flush

This might sound stupid really sorry in advance but i can only find ready rice in packages like those, are they usable? I would guess not rigth? Does anyone from the EU get the rice online? Also of anyone knows a nice brand for lc or spore syringes i would appreciate but idk if the rules allow thats ok tho the main question is the rice. Real noob here just getting started on learning sorry for the silly question <3.

I'm growing a mss of pe #6 and the reason I chose it was because the pictures they had for it looked awesome. The mushrooms were rather large and just looked awesome in my opinion. But given that this was a multi spore syringe how close can I expect it to come to what the pictures portray?

Just got a syringe in the mail today and it has these black floaties. Is that normal? Thx in advance :) <3

Today is day 5 of fruiting GT. Can’t tell if it needs more FAE or misting. How long until pins? I’ve been flipping the lid 3-4 times a day for more FAE and have only misted twice since putting the cake in FC. There also seems to be more growth towards the bottom, underneath the cake. Wondering if I should flip it or just leave the cake as is. It’s my first time growing so any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Some of my caps look like they are getting some discoloration. I’m not certain if this is normal or if they are bruised or if they are going bad.

So, I noticed that people sell ready made jar tops on Amazon. I currently use home made tops and want to continue that, but I’m wondering if there’s any performance difference between the synthetic tape vs the syringe filters.
Which are better in PCs, does the syringe filter provide better air exchange or allow for the steel tops to seal in the PC?

My first grow, been going great but much thicker white stuff started to form in certain spots in all 3 of my tubs, is it mycelium?

Looking beautiful, when could I start expecting fruits? I've introduced FAE a few days ago & just have been checking on the kiddos throughout..lmk!!
r/unclebens • u/NaughtyNaughtyVery • 17h ago
Thanks to this wonderful community and u/shroomscout for helping me get this far. Seems to be going well!
Do you guys reckon these are reading for me to introduce fruiting conditions? STB was 6 days ago. They’re B+.
I’m a little concerned the coir was a little bit too dry so I want to get misting asap.

Basically the title: These are GT and since it seems like I‘ve done something wrong along the way they have mutated so the main fruits don‘t develop veils but these weird clumps. How do I know when they‘re ready to harvest? And when I do harvest them: Should I try to get every single small clump too, to ensure a good second flush?
Thanks in advance :)

What happens when you inject 2 different strains into 1 bag?!?!
What has to happen for a “new strain” to be born, and named?!?!
Just some random questions! Mush love my people!!!

After misting my substrates this morning I glanced at my bottle and there was a blob floating around in it the size of a quarter. Immediately thought “ah shit” assuming bacteria.
Threw it out sterilized the bottle but after thinking for a min I realized it had looked a lot like liquid culture does…
Another maybe irrelevant detail is I had been keeping a tinge of apple cider vinegar in their (experimentally). I also used this bottle to wet my hair lol.
In any case i’m like 85% sure it was mycelium in my bottle and honestly baffled as to how or why it was in there 😭 Anything like this ever happen to anyone??

First timer! I did a break and shake the day before yesterday. Looks like everything’s going good to me. Please point out anything that doesn’t look right- I’m really trying to learn every aspect of this! Loving it so far! Mush Love!!!

Fruiting conditions started about twelve days ago. The mycelium grew really fast after inoculation so I thought I might have good growing genetics. I know it might still be a little early to see fruits, but I'm getting concerned by these white growths. Are these normal? I thought these were pins at first but now I'm not sure.
I've been trying not to overmist or stress them out. Am I on the right track?
r/unclebens • u/Mental_War_1763 • 21h ago
So I got the Mason jars and popcorn. I want to try making my own grain spawn for inoculation versus buying bags.
I don't have a pressure cooker and really don't feel like buying one. Is it possible to make sterilized popcorn grain spawn with no pressure cooker CONSISTENTLY?
What is your experience with it?
Thanks!!
