Nice, that seems like a good sweet spot with the ratio. I do somewhere between 1:1 and 1:2 myself, (usually closer to 1:1) but sometimes I wonder if that’s a bit much. I’ve found compacting/compressing everything will stop side pins through the 1st flush, but my cakes always shrink up after 1F and I inevitably get the side pins then haha.

Also I hadn’t realized you’re the same dude with the sprouts in your tub!! Is this the one they popped up in?

Right on! And likewise. It’s great to see more activity in these communities :)

Wow very nice!! I hope they pop up a nice canopy for you 8) Are you doing about 1:1 substrate:spawn ratio?

Ah I’m bummed I didn’t save a picture to show you, but I’ve had the exact same thing happen to me. I was thinking that there was a seed in my coco coir, but looking back I’m not sure if that’s very probable. Wherever it came from, it ended up dying off well before fruiting and the tub went on to live a long happy life with many flushes :) Keep us posted for sure!

The duck:

Yep just .5! :) I’ve found it takes very little, just make sure your syringes are shaken up very well so you get enough of the good stuff in there.

It sounds like you have a busy day tomorrow, keep us updated!

Thanks for the report! I’ve always heard store brand had less water content, and I always favored signature select from Albertsons even to UB. But with like .5cc either mss or lc. Bummer about the Kroger!

That’s so cool, thanks for commenting! While I knew the variety didn’t necessarily predict the outcome of the mycelium, I didn’t know why.

Look up huitlacoche :) Some consider it a delicacy

Now you have me wondering if one could cultivate Huitlacoche…

Thanks for posting this! I don’t have a ton of free time, but I’ve been collecting signatures when I can. Hopefully it can get to the ballot

I think that you think that a certain something is not all that it could be, when in fact it is all that it should be, and more!

It’s been getting plenty of FAE and is nice & humid. It’s possible it’s competing with something else, but I think it’s just genetics. Its parent tub was kinda like this as well. The surface myc is suuuper thick and prone to overlay, and I think that’s why it hasn’t been pinning in the middle. I may try another casing layer, or I may just let it go and keep harvesting the micro-blobs!
