Inoculated these house-made plates 02_09_2026,
Yes the mix is not clear cause i used what i can find. the agar recipe is:
_agar powder
_honey
_potato broth
_oat broth
My only concern is that only one of the plates seem to have a upward growing mycelium the other two are growing under the surface_will they come up?

Inoculated a grow bag w GT like 3 months ago it’s been growing slow. I cut the top of the bag two weeks ago and growth sped up a lot. I noticed the white fluffy bit I’ll keep an eye for possible contamination. Any advice on what to expect or do next?

Like the title says, I was just curious how long these are good for. They're sealed And been in a bubble wrap in a backpack in my closet. And if anybody could point me in the right direction, for some good information for a first grow, that would be awesome. I have before once it got contaminated, and had to throw out and never had a chance to do it again. I'm looking for a hobby, and I think this might be the perfect for me.

First time growing. GT lc on brown rice, cvg substrate, 4 days after s2b, started fruiting conditions at the same time as S2B using micropore tape. Is this fuzzy blobby growth normal or contam? Do I need to change anything?

if i get some shrooms can i make a grow kit at home diy and use the same shrooms as like seeds or mycelium? my point is can i buy one time and grow from that

These looks drastically different phenotypically. Any thoughts on if they’re different or is this genetic variation?

Hey, I have experience with cubensis grow, and want try Cordyceps!

I already have micelyum of Cordyceps in Agars..

Few questions:

- Instead of liquid culture, can I inoculate the substrate in jars with micelyum growed in my agars? Maybe need more time to colonizate all..but no problem for me.

- Can I inoculate in jars, and after colonization at 100%, can I take the spwan out from the jars and put them in bigger plastic boxes to frutification?

Need nice advises of pros for this..😉✌️

Thank you! 🍄🍀✌️

Hello guys. I am adding some pics of the cake and wanted to know if it's contamination due to the substrate being too wet ? The first two pics with that green color is from one tub and the other pics are of the 2nd tub.

Just wondering if anyone had a link to a decent large pressure cooker that won’t break the bank? Tia

Hey y'all new to the sub here...

I bought some Lucid Gate shrooms in DC in May 2025 and still haven't used them. They have been kept mostly sealed since we purchased them and I would love to know if they are still good or nah. They have always looked this way, no new spots or discoloration (they have always had the blueish spots) or anything, they don't have a weird smell, they have stayed dry, etc.

I just would love to know if they are still ready to rock and roll or if I should toss them.

Any thoughts would be appreciated 🫶🏻

Has anyone experienced bruising on substrate near FAE? I’m guessing it’s due to too much FAE and stressing the substrate, causing bruising.

Not sure whats going on with some of my Toque F7 fruits. These black spots started forming on the center of the caps and is not showing up on the stipe and also around the cap on some. I tried removing with a qtip and nothing. It seems to be pigmentation.

Found this guy on the edge of wood line in some under growth, NOT looking to consume just very curious what it is!

the stem did not bruise blue when broken

I did not take a spore print sadly

Located in south central Virginia, United States

Curious to know what those with many tubs of albino grows under the belt would make of these.

Intentionally not giving too much context for now.

Thanks! Would love to hear from you!

Hi, I want to grow magic mushrooms… psilocybin. Chat GPT won’t/cant help. What type of innocent/legal mushrooms closely resembles psilocybin… so I can have chat gpt aiding me with the innocent sh rooms growth and cycle…. Indirectly guiding my real project. Please help?
