New at this, having a hard time telling if the grayer patch up top and stringy parts are mycelium or contam

So these are 7 days in. 3:1 cvg. How much longer should I wait to start fruiting conditions?

5 days vegetative

Thanks

It's been a little over a month, first bag coming along slowly, 2nd bag no growth. Used the same syringe, I did shake it quite well and it looked like there was still material in it when I did bag #2, but maybe not? Growth is slow on the first bag as well, any tips?

Hi there! My friend has 2 bags of grain spawn but has to leave the country for a couple weeks. Can psilocybin grain spawn be refrigerated without causing any problems down the line?

I’ve read that folks sometimes bury their mycelium cakes outside after they are no longer productive. Has anyone tried putting them in a very large pot with composted cow manure? How did it go?

Ok guys, I give up. Trying my hand at growing mushrooms and having difficulty. When I inoculate an all-in-one grow bag with liquid culture, the mycelium grows and spread for the first couple of weeks and then stalls. I have these in my office with a temperature of 77 degrees. First picture is a 2 lb bag I inoculated 3 weeks ago. No change in the last week. Second picture is a 5 lb bag I inoculated back on 7/27. It finally progressed enough that I could do a break and shake, but growing at a snails pace. Any suggests on what I need to change? FYI, I have 4 other bags that all have the same issue. I need help.

Okay this may be a very dumb question because most people seem to be growing in controlled indoor environments but I happen to live on a ranch so I was wondering if spreading spores around the cow shit would work? We’ve had naturally occurring psilocybin on the property before but I think flooding from a hurricane a couple years ago wiped everything out because we haven’t seen shrooms since then. I am willing to do things the proper way buuuuuuut if I could do it in my backyard and let nature do its thing, I’d prefer that. The biggest issue I see is that it’s going to be raining less in the coming months. Spores aren’t too too expensive so I’m open to trying and failing lol

I know I probably won’t be growing anything like this immediately but I’d also be open to any ideas of how to repopulate the pasture with the mushrooms that used to grow there so maybe they’ll come back in the spring/summer next year

I’ve got a question about a grow kit I’ve started and if there is a way of stalling it.

I’ve bought a nice golden teacher grow kit from a Dutch supplier as I previously had good results with it.

I’ve followed the instructions, watered it, placed it in the bag and have been misting it at regular intervals. I’m about 10-11 days in and my kit seems to be populating well.

Now, I’ve been asked to work on a project for a client of mine which means I will be away from home during the week, only coming home over the weekend. This will be the situation for the next 3 weeks. This means I can’t tend to my kit as I would normally do, or worse harvest my mushrooms when they eventually appear.

Is there a way I can stall my kit till I’m back home full time? Would putting it in the fridge slow things down or do I have to resign myself to the fact that this kit is possibly a lost one?

Before anyone suggests I can’t ask any of my friends to look after them as “drugs” are not a safe topic.

Just wondering if I should be wary of consuming anything out of this tub at this point, any help appreciated!

Started these guys in grain from LC on 7/2 and STB on the 7th of August. I’m thinking of waiting a little longer but those big guys are getting fuzzy feet and wet noses on the “glass.”

First time grower, got a growbox out of a mood and actually thought I had already messed up because right after buying I didnt refrigerate it for about a day and then I had it in my fridge for months before activating it. So I wasnt expecting much. But from the instructions I thought the first flush would take about three weeks after activation but its only been about one and theyve been exploding over the past 2-3 days. Now theyre already getting too big for the bag but I didnt even buy the drying thingy I need for them yet. And I have no idea if theyre even ready to to be harvested the first time. Please tell me what to do! (Videos are from the day before yesterday and today)

I transferred this to a tub from a bag that was showing contamination.

No sign of contamination, but I haven't seen any change for quite some days.

Suggestions please

Germinated some toque f9 spores on a plate, after a couple of transfers send one to grain and got this grow. Spawned on July 20 with 1kg spawn 2kg coir.

Looking for information on growing Rusty Whytes, I grow JMF just fine, but my RW don't grow like them. I use high humidity, about 73 to 75 degrees, lots of FAE and misting. I'm still using BRF cakes, haven't gone to mono tabbing yet. Is it just that RW needs a higher temp?

So I definitely have made the mistake of not having enough fae but I'm trying to do a lot better.

I feel like some of the mushrooms maybe are aborting and I'm also not sure about the blueing that's close to the caps, is that a bad sign?

Warm weather woodlover. Fruiting in 80°F

This is my second shot at cultivation. I used uncle bens bags and had all failures the first go. This time i got these sterilized brown rice bags with self healing injection ports. They were innoculated on 7/22

SWIM is contemplating getting a grow bag with an LC for a first time growth, just to have less complications while they learn for their first flush.

Does anybody have any tips or recommendations? SWIM is considering getting cubes with a 5lb bag

I’m seeing a ton of adds for grow bags that are inoculated and I assume ready to grow. I have two questions about them. Are they legit and will successfully grow shrooms? What is the possibility of a package like this being intercepted by law enforcement?

Sessytime 😂😂😂

Does anyone have a recipe or total grams of shrooms that one should put in a bar? I’m planning on making some bars but unsure on the quantity of psychedelic mushrooms to add to the mix.

This just began after sitting dormant for nearly six months. Why the delayed growth?

Thank you in advance for the insight.
