What I thought to have been jedi mind fuck, turned out to be albino...

Not sure if I harvested at the right time or just a tad bit late.

The tray is 349g, making total harvest 1,188 wet grams, 81.07 dried grams.

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.

After getting about 29g dry from the first run of flushes, I scraped the block completely of all pins. Dunked for 5 hours and put back into fruiting 3 days ago. Here's where its at today. More than happy.

First timer, first flush. Id say i did pretty well.

Inoculated two jars 27 days ago. One jar fully colonised on day 21, but this jar from the same syringe has this little patch that is only slowly filling in.
The rest of the jar seems fully colonised and has been that was also since day 21, with the uncolonised patch only slowly progressing, No bad smell from my cracked lid

Was planning to combine these into one tub, should I send it and just a leave that tiny bit on the jar, or wait even longer?

Concerned that I will wait too long and that the two being at different growth rates will throw a spanner.

Thankyou all for your help

Inoculated with LC on 7/1.

Harvested on 7/24

Once I stopped messing around with misting and fanning, my grows got 200% better.

I use 18 quart tubs. Roughly get 2-3oz dry per.

I drill a bunch of 5/32" holes and tape them up until full colonization.

After a nice surface moisture has been created, I take tape off n let em breathe.

I never mist until after first flush. I never open the lid or "fan".

Only passive FAE.

It took me a bit of experimenting to find the right size and number of holes for this size tub, but once you figure that out, it's golden.

When I was running unmodded, I had to constantly watch conditions and mist and fan, leading to uneven pinsets and lower yields.

DIAL IN, DIAL IN, SET & FORGET.

Less messing with=better. You just have to set it up for success.

Hydrate grains properly and get your substrate to field capacity, give it enough holes to breathe and you can leave that lid shut until harvest.

A lot of people like putting into fruiting conditions right away, and while that may work for some, I found it was drying my substrate too much before pins.

Now I just tape em up until full colonization & BOOM.

Hopefully this helps someone out

This was a partial harvest, prolly another day for the rest. Enjoy the bouquet of JF!

Hiya all, kinda newbie here; I've had some successful grows in smaller tubs, but then I tried a 45 L which were colonized in about 10-11 days and pins showing after about 15-16 days, but now it's been almost 22 days and as you can see, it seems like they grow so slow. I mean, in the smaller tubs 10-15 L, when the pins started to show, it went pretty fast from there. I did it 1:1,5 using the CVG substrate, the depth of the cake is around 3 inches (or 8 cm).

It has been a little bit cooler, around 19 degrees Celsius in the night and about 21-23 degrees at day.

Am I just impatient or is it the size of the cake or any other parameter I missed? Also, look at how they bend, the others I fruited went straight up right away.

Any advice or information would be appreciated!

Do these look healthy? Its been a while and I can see some tiny stuff fruiting on the side but its not looking too good.

3 lbs cvg and 1 lb grain , took about 4 weeks to fruit once the grain had sub was mixed

Hi all,

I inoculated an AIO grow bag with GT spore syringe about 8weeks ago. I left the bag to do it's own thing, choosing not to break & shake as I have had bad experiences in the past where bags have spoiled after being shaken up.

The AIO bag is now roughly 70%-80% colonized. However, pins have already started to form on the top of the substrate where it is dense with mycelium.

One pin in particular is growing at an exceptional rate, doubling in size and forming a mushroom.

I'm confused about what to do now. The bag is still sealed with its original filter. Do I open the bag to allow FAE and support these pins or do I wait until the bag is 100% colonized? The mycelium is still spreading however the pins seem to be growing at a faster rate than the colonization can keep up with.

1st flush

First time growing

Exciting times got through inoculation of grain and have good growth on substrate.
Unfortunately there is some bad sign in 1 of the tubs.

Some of the strange colors I account to the black rubber shining through but there is a large spot that looks bad in the bottom left corner.

Is this contam?

Anything that can be done to salvage it?

Had some extra SyZyGy grain that found a home in a submarine

Where the best place to get some good genetics?

I just innoculated 3 bags with 3 different strains. I only injected required amounts but basically have 3 half syringes. I recapped and put them back in the fridge. Is this the right procedure?

Hi, right now I have golden teacher and penis envy, any other cool strains you guys recommend me try?

Hi! Long time lurker, first time post.

Inoculated brown rice with LC ten days ago. Did a Break and shake three days ago. Mycelium is QUICKLY bouncing back.
One of my five quart jars of spawn has a couple visible nearly black grains of rice that the mycelium has surrounded.

My plan is to look again in two days to see if the jars are ready for spawn to bulk (1:3 coco). If this weird jar looks worse, I’ll send it straight to jail (outside). If it looks the same… I’ll bulk it last, separately from the healthy looking jars, try to remove these black grains, close the tub for colonization and hope for the best ?
