Finishing up dehydrating my first run today. I’ve been harvesting a bunch of mushrooms daily for the last 4 days. Just soaked the medium and am going to attempt a flush run. The flush often is even more mushrooms than the first. I haven’t weighed it all dry yet. But I’m guessing this first round is around 1.5 ounces dry. I’ve been bad at updating on here.

Gave it a mix up. It’s all colonizing nicely.

Growjay Simpson Nice! I’d keep that thing closed until 100% colonization then put into your tub! Looking good brother
PJ’s home grown Thanks dude. Any advice for what to add to it in the tub. The mixture of substrate etc. what’s worked well for you.
Growjay Simpson I always did a 1:1 ratio of colonized mycelium to coco coir. Once colonized I crumble the spawn and place a layer of colonized mycelium spawn on top of a layer of coco, then another layer of spawn with a final layer of coco on top! What do you plan on using for a bulk substrate?! Coco worked for me because it seemed resistant to contamination and produced pins quickly!

Growjay Simpson Nice start to your mycelium network! I grew the fungi for a looooooong time it’s a fun hobby! I also used to extract my own DMT from mimosa hostilis root bark...psychonauts unite!
PJ’s home grown Oh dope! I’ve got my bin all ready. Amy advice I’d you’ve first time mushroom growers?
Growjay Simpson I definitely recommend first focusing on dialing in your fresh air exchange! I’ve lost a couple batches of strongly colonized mycelium covered cakes due to a lack of FAE...is your bin going to be misted and fanned or will you have a more sophisticated setup??!

Spores have been added to the inoculation bag. Now we wait for the first bit of fungus to grow.
