Popular Post Brody 348 Posted March 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2018 Time to try fruiting some edibles. I nocced whole oat jars with lion’s mane, reishi, shiitake and oyster. The shittake and oyster failed miserably. The reishi looks awesome and I’m prepping sawdust bags today using phish’s tek. I’m not sure about the lion’s mane. It hasn’t fully colonized and looks a little dry, if I were looking at cube myc, I’d say it’s tammed. But I don’t know about the edibles. Incubated at 77/78. Nocced on 1/30. Shook in 2/15. Photos taken today. Opinions please. But check out this reishi! Excited about this one. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Mush Zombie 26425 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 one thing is clear, you're probably going to have to dig that reishi out with a spoon lions mane looks alright to me 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Should I let the lion’s mane ride for a while longer or spawn it? Thanks for the input. Link to post Share on other sites
Mush Zombie 26425 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I'd probably just spawn it 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Mushinist 3626 Posted March 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2018 Nice job, as you see the reishi is some aggressive shit, it'll do the same in sawdust too. Phish's tek is as simple as it gets and works great! Look forward to seeing if you get conks, and how the lions mane turns out as I have 6 bags going myself, LM is a very tasty shroom! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Brody 348 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2018 48 hours after spawning, the reishi is going crazy. I did not realize it was such a fast growing mushroom. The lion’s mane is showing growth, just not nearly the speed of the reishi. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Mush Zombie 26425 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Reishi is very agressive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Mush Zombie 26425 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I've had it grow out of spawn jar lid holes and syringes. Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Brody 348 Posted March 18, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2018 Spawned to sawdust bags on 3/5. Surprised they haven’t tammed yet b/c I added waaaayyyy more water than Phish’s recipe called for and the bags are pretty wet. Myc seems to be doing great. No obvious tam. Thinking I’m about ready to put into fruiting chamber and see what happens. Reishi - I was reading that I should let the reishi start to fruit in the bag. Then, after antlers have developed, cut of the top and (try to) let conks develop. Lion’s Mane - I read that I should cut the sides of the bag where primordia has formed. I’m not seeing primordia formations yet, just even myc growth. Maybe it’s on top, but I’m not seeing it on the sides. Maybe put it in the fruiting chamber and cool it down to promote primordia formation? Both strains are in the incubator at 77F at the moment. Fruiting chamber would be 68F.

Popular Post Brody 348 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2018 Tiny lions mane shrooms! I moved them down to the middle rack in the greenhouse cause they’re looking a tad dry. But I did it! Just hope they keep going. They were starting to fruit on top so I just cut the top of the bag off. The biggest one is just a bit bigger than my thumb. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Brody 348 Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Both Lion’s Mane bags are fruiting. Pics 1/2 Cut crosses into the sides a week ago after seeing primordia forming in air gaps between the substrate and bag. Growth is way faster than the bag I cut the top off of. Pics 3/4 A week after last photos and three weeks after putting to fruit, they’re doing well but growing sooooo slloooowwww. Ambient temp is 68F with Rh Set at 86%. Computer fan exhausts air for 10 minutes every two hours. Leaving them alone because there’s no evidence of tam. Is this growth rate normal? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
PickledPiper 15 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 How are things going with your grow? Have you got antler or conks from the reishi yet? How is the LM doing? Link to post Share on other sites
Brody 348 Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 I got enough LM for one meal. They were small but tasty. Not sure why they didn’t grow larger. Grow tent has been 64 with 86% humidity. Next round I’ll bring up temp and humidity up slightly. Reishi has antlers. No plates. I’ll post pics. Same growing conditions as the LM. Link to post Share on other sites
