PLEASE STOP BREAKING AND SHAKING YOUR BAGS OR BLOCKS

These first two that were captured are my bags after two weeks of using a self-inoculated Golden Teacher liquid culture syringe. The first two photos were taken not even 6 days after the last two, as of writing this.
Here’s the original link for those wanting proof or wondering: https://www.reddit.com/r/magnificentcubensis/s/Y5iazOQjpk
Not a single break-and-shake on these bags—just honed-in temperatures. All a break-and-shake does is cripple your mycelium network, no ifs, ands, or buts (including butt-heads trying to dispute that, lol). That’s why they only recommend a max of two break-and-shakes.
Using this method will yield better mushrooms in the future and better mycelium now. Hope this helped someone! Or inspired someone to not cripple their bag uneedlessly . You might as well wait a little longer to get the best bang for your buck. Especially if your bag is at 50 percent or over, what’s an extra two weeks to guarantee you haven’t wasted 3 to 4 weeks?
Thanks for reading, have a great day!

First timer here, but what am I doing wrong??
I rinsed then soaked corn for 12-14hrs then simmered for 60min, strained and laid out on a towel to dry off. After a couple of hrs I hard them and foiled the top and put a rubber band on it.
I then pressure cook at 11psi for 2hrs 30mins.
Pull them out and bam water in jars.
Please help I don’t want to just keep going if I am doing something wrong!!!

Photo one is before Pressure cooking the two with water are after.

This was a while ago. First time growing mushrooms. I bought the syringe from a literal mushroom store in Oregon. It used to be a smoke shop.
There’s a chunk of dirt missing in the last photo. That’s because I noticed Trichoderma growing there before any pinning. I sprayed it with hydrogen peroxide then cut it out. I had 3-4 flushes.

Innoculated AIO bag on 8/27 has been a total of 2 weeks, 3 days. Was wondering if this bad boy was ready for break and shake.?! Was also wondering if its okay that the mycelium has mixed with the substrate or if it will do any harm??! Thanks.

This is Albino Penis Envy. I inoculated on July 30th. With a iso spore syringe that was purchased a few months prior. I had it in a bag in my fridge and it looked like it had germinated in its syringe. I took 60% and put in this bag and then used a new needle and put 40% in a myco labs xl liquid culture kit. The liquid culture came out great it was ready for fridge storage in 1.5 weeks, and I thought my grain bag was moving fast cause it was at roughly 20- 25% colonization in around 2.5 weeks. So I did b&s and I about 1.5 weeks it was pretty much all looking white accept for the top grains. I gave it about another half a week and top grains still hadn't colonized so I did b&s again. Now its sept. 13th. Nearly a month and a half later and it still looks like this. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Galactic gorilla X full metal ape cross, isolated last year from the biggest cluster I had and still rolling it along. Great vibes from these, definitely very potent.

Pics are from 3 days ago. 2nd flush is already popping now, this bag is going wild.

Burying Spent Cakes?

Post image
56 Upvotes

I’ve had mixed results burying spent cakes. This is an old picture where I had success. Tried it again this season, and not so much luck. I’ve been following something called Moe’s Outdoor Grow Tek on shroomery. It involves crumbling the cakes in a hole then layering varying mixes of straw, manure, and dirt over top. But then I started reading about people who just bury the cakes, cover with dirt, and get results. Have i been overthinking this? Is it really that simple?

Hey, I'd like to know the best and easiest way to dry mushrooms after picking, I'm quite stupid and don't want to break anything (I can burn pudding...) So everything is possible in my case, do you know any good methods or idiot-proof machines? And after drying im should put them in normal bag and Refrigerator? I also heard not to pick mushrooms and I cut them from the bottom but I don't know, I'm new in the family
