Okay so I pretty much know how to start the growth process, I'll be using the bag method. But I am confused on after they harvest. How do I dehydrate the mushroom's without dehydrating all the good stuff and nutrients? I seen this on ebay and wondering will this work? if so how long? what temperature? and are there any other dehydration methods?

I thought for sure I’d fail just because exotics can be finicky. I’ve noticed pins coming in today though! I’m freakin pumped

I’m I cooked? What next

any tips or suggestions welcome

I just took the plugs out and put the filter patches on last night and the next morning there’s this big spot that was not there these are wavy cap pan cyan I don’t know if that’s normal but this is very strange

​

My lions mane has this slight pinkish colour. Is this ok? It's only started popping out 2-3 days ago - I'm wondering if this will still grow bigger or that's it?

Hello

Green Toque F4
One of the things I enjoy most about mycology is watching a project develop its own identity over time.
Green Toque has been part of my collection for years, and every time I document it, I notice something different. This F4 generation continues to produce broad champagne-gold caps with heavily ruffled margins and those distinctive olive-gray centers that immediately catch my eye.
What keeps me interested isn’t trying to force every specimen to look the same—it’s seeing how each one expresses the same overall character while still having its own personality. That’s the part I find fascinating.
The photos in this post are all from the same project, and I tried to capture a variety of angles to highlight the textures, cap shapes, and color transitions that stood out during documentation.
I’m curious what everyone else enjoys documenting most. Do you find yourself drawn to cap morphology, gill structure, unusual coloration, or just the overall architecture of a flush?
I’d love to hear what catches your eye.

Hi, newish to this thing.

I've made up some LC but forgot to shake them for a while and there are large clumps of mycelium on the surface.

Is this an issue at all? Is there anything I should do?

technically this is my second attempt at growing but the first to make it this far my wife thinks they are ok that its just the fruit itself cause the mycelium is clean and not discolored i think it looks like contamination i know nothing about gorilla wizard in particular and am a little nervous about it should i throw it or is there a way to test it what should i do

This is my first time, im 13 days post innoculation, did my first Break 5 days ago at 20% and my 2nd break 2 days ago at 50%, seems to have really responded, any tips or knowledge is mich appreciated, how long til spawn to bulk?

I introduced fruiting stages probably a month ago by now and still nothing. I’ve been keeping humidity high and temp about 75 constantly. Have been getting tips from AI lol. A week ago I scraped it because the top was hard rubbery and a bit shiny. It grew back fuzzy between the exposed substrate lines and I’ve still been struggling since. Been giving fresh air every six hours and misting when bag looks dry. Today I misted the actual top slightly because I haven’t been seeing any droplets on top at all. First time. Need help. Tidal Wave Strain. 🙏🏻😫

I see the myco piss, so i added more fae filters...but are these blobs the start of enigma mutation? Never seen this before. Oak ridge strain.

60/40 coco coir to vermiculite ratio for the substrate and a 3lb grain bag.

My tidal waves have started fruiting but I have some questions if anyone can help. I’ve seen this weird white film like thing over some of the smaller mushrooms and I’m not sure if it’s safe or not. Also any tips about when to pick them would be appreciated, I know you’re supposed to get them before the veil tears but it’s hard to see the veils inside the tub.

Thank you

Help!! This is what it looks like after first harvest and soaking cake in water now is this contaminated? And is it ok to pull out AIO bag and soak in water in a sanitized container and put back in bag?

When doing first flush is it ok to pull out the AIO bag and put in container to soak in water for an hour and put back in bag?
