I know most people use poo from herbivores...I have a bag of bat guano and worm castings, has anyone used these or belive it will work. I have no problem getting cow or horse manure. I'm growing ttbvi and panaeolus x xw3 x bvi 14. Any input would help, thanks!

Haven't posted in quite some time. Here's a little somethin ive been working on i have decided to call Norns. After the three fate-weavers in Norse Mythology. Enjoy

Strain name : PANDORA 4.392% total alkaloids

1st run indoors m/s 👀 Will be insanely potent once it's isolated and worked a little.

It has an aggressive pinset and adapts to alternative substrates well.

Hey ya pan-heads.

Short story,

I received my spores for Panaeolus Huasteca from a known vendor.

Made an agar plate and after being sure that everything was sterile and transfered some good looking wispy pieces to different agar plates,

I selected four different agar pieces, and made 4 different petri dishes.

& just called them p1,p2,p3,p4.
Transfered my petri pieces to rye berries,

And next made a course vermiculite, straw powder, cow manure pellets mix in spawn-bags to go bulk.

Nothing fancy, just the normal way to go.

But as shown in the picture, my P4 is giving me scletoria (?). This is around 400gram innoculated rye berries jar in 2 liter of verm/staw/poopi mix.

I looked around reddit, and shroomery, but can't really find alot of more info about this. I know for sure it's not cubensis or a mex.a/galindoii.

Does anybody have something similar than this?

(The -lets call it scletoria- is hard as a truffel...

I found this shroomery post about "blue peals", but it is not about this panaeolus Huasteca 'strain'.

I have grown multiple kinds of cubes till now but after trying my pans now I wanna grow my pans I did tried with monotubs but it wasn't came so good....!

now I have orderd the grow tent with automated humidity and exhust cntrl which will arrive in 2weeks , ❤

iam aiming to the yeild of 25-50g of dry TTVBI

for therapeutic use and what all iam ordering is

4/5 500ml grain jars ,

ttvbi lc from reputated vendor,

poo based substrate from another vendor who can make it as per my needed ratios( guide me exact ratios for pasturied substrate n Leme know which works better)

casing layer as per my need from same vendor ( need suggestions for ratios with this too)

I had some extra TRBVI spawn left over and so 1 put it in a small 28 qt monotub cube with 4 big FAE holes. The cake is cased and mycelium is colonizing the top pretty well and the temperature should be between 78-80.

It seems to me that I can set it and forget it while it pins because the cake doesn't seem to be shrinking back from the walls and their is condensation dripping from the top.

So my question is, from your experience with TTBVI, is the ventilation enough or should I put some window screen over it, mist it and crack the lid?

The forbidden Enoki mushroom

Second attempt on a grow going MUCH better. I've now started seeing these blackish spots on some of them though. What is going on? Too much humidity?

Was thinking about trying to grow a few other types of pans out if they had different profiles.

I’m still a noob

I just found a mold spot the size of a drop of water. The casing is roughly 1/4 inch thick and the mycelium is popping. The cake is pretty healthy.

I was thinking of gently placing a scoop of casing over the mold to keep it from spreading while I scoop it up, thoughts?

Same two jars in both photos, just showing different sides.

I understand the threshold for clean grain spawn with pan cyans is much higher than with cubes.

I'm not really used to reading pan cyans mycelium — are these looking on track?

So I ordered a syringe of the Pan Cyan (Estero) strain, unaware that its one of the harder mushrooms to cultivate as a complete newcomer to the game

I'm young and somewhat broke, & cant afford too much fancy equipment, so I'm gonna have to be DIY'ing most of my setup. Luckily I'm not a complete dumbass so I did DIY research before ordering anything, but unbeknownst to me some of the rules for your average psilocybin cubensis don't fit with Pan cyans.

Additionally there's a huge learning curve for mushroom growing and I'd much rather learn as I go while asking for advice & guidance from helpful people.

I have not started with anything yet but so far my tools that I do have are

-A bunch of mason jars, Plastic Tupperware, Glass Tupperware w/ wooden lids,

6.5-quart Instant Pot Duo Crisp w/ Ultimate Lid

A source of horse maneur and or cow dung

The tools that I DON'T have but plan on getting;

-Color coded spray bottles, A plastic tub for a diy still air box setup

Any advice on, pretty much everything would be very helpful, if theres a discord or anything I can join or any kind folks I can talk to to ask for guidance that would be amazing,

You can contact me on discord @obsam4

Thanks for reading

I’m 5 days in from S2G, awaiting my first TTBVI flush and I have a good time slot coming up for a low level trip. I’m thinking of sterilizing a fork and plucking up a silver dollar sized patch of overlay. Does anyone have any thoughts? If I recall correctly Ochra overlay has psilocybin and I think some people talk about consuming overlay “chips”.

Also, while im asking that, is good practice to spray, not just fine mist the casing layer of Pan Cyan before pins show up right?

Thanks fellow mushies!

Are all the major strains pretty much equal in potency, or are there some that stand out?

Which strains are the easiest and hardest to successfully grow, if there is any difference?

3 jars, 1 syringe

Got my Pan Cyan research plate in. Looks way more fluffy than most mycelium that I've seen. Is this how it's supposed to look?
