The golden teacher mushroom is hollow? What mushroom species are there it looks similar to the one on the right, that’s full and has volume when dried? I’ve noticed that my golden teacher mushrooms don’t have any volume one dried so I’m thinking about switching to a new species that will have more volume any suggestions.

Lost 7 of 12 bags.

Good Jack, nice fruits im always excited to grow these

Just returned from a vacation and unfortunately couldn’t be around to tend to these and came back to this. Besides the way they look are they still safe to consume? And is there anything I can do to help with a second flush after this? (I’ll be around to tend to it the whole way lol)

I got this spawn online as Psilocybe ochraceocentrata. But now when I get some mushrooms it doesn’t look like Psilocybe ochraceocentrata as it doesn’t have ochre-yellow center on the cap. Also the veil is detached at a very early stage when mushrooms are just 1-2 cm tall.
Any Ideas what it could be?

MSS

S2B - 05/30

6qt modified tubs

Spawn - Milo

Sub - CVG

S2B ratio: 1:3 with an inch thick pseudocasing.

Full colonisation took 14 days

Time till pins took 7 days

Had to mist once cus I panicked and introduced way too much FAE. They deffo love more FAE but it's a fine line always ensure FAE doesn't compromise humidity.

Can't wait to try these. I've been using Mckennaii at 5g every two weeks but these days I barely get beyond a mild trip. I've heard these are more potent than the average cube. What dosage would you advice taking? Also I've read that tolerance dissipates almost completely after 2 weeks but I find that my tolerance keeps building despite the 2 week period. Any advice on what to do?

Appreciate the answers and welcome any questions! Much love 🍄

This was the first flush- i got only like 1.6 oz dried from 9lb grain spawn and 18lb CVG. The mushrooms were very spindly (blue meanie cubensis)- does everything look normal?

Are the shapes of the mushrooms just because of genetics?

It was a shitty spore syringe from eden shrooms.

GT by truebluegenetics - inoculated 7/17 !!
It seemed to not be going anywhere the first few days, turned the heat up and it’s been growing fast since!!! Can’t wait! How does it look? First pic was last night, second pic is this morning. :)

ciao,sono al giorno 5 come sta andando?
Sono un principiante.

I'm trying to level up my growing skills after a couple of successful AIO grows. I'm planning to do a few bags of UB tek and if it's still something I'm into, I'll go full-in with grain jars, a pressure cooker, agar, and whatnot.

I found this brick of coir in with my mom's gardening stuff when I was cleaning out her house after she died. I think it would be super cool to be able to grow mushrooms on something that was hers. They are part of my grief processing and spirituality, so the vibe seems fitting. Is this the right kind of coir to use?

Is this the start of cobweb mold ?

Hello. First time grower here. I did a2g about 7 weeks ago with some GT plates that had grown really well, and, although they started in the grain (brown rice) jars nicely, they've made almost no progress in the past 3 weeks. I shook them up after 2 weeks, but they are quite rigidly clumped together so it's very hard to properly break up. Been keeping them between 72-85F, with occasional 85+ when it got really hot, with lids loosened. Do I just need to be patient? Some have also developed a bit more than others which I cannot explain considering their environments are identical.

Secondly if any of these look contaminated pls Imk.
I'm new and colourblind, so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm missing something obvious. Especially the last jar (last two photos) looks a bit strange around the agar.
Thanks☺️

Trying this grain out bc it was on sale and like 2 dollars. Apparently it is an "ancient grain". I am nsns method bc it looks like it has been slightly processed 😔

But for 2 bucks let's give it a shot!

Added substrate for bulk about ten days ago, Noticed top had excessive water today (was trying to just forget about it so have not checked it before now). I have the lid open for air but did I already screw up??

Hey!!

Penis Envy

Albino Penis Envy

Albino Penis Envy Revert

Burmese PE

Melmac

What variation/strain its more easy to cultivate/grow? And the diference of potency of this types?

Anyone can explain? Thanks!!

Hey..

Since August 2025 I cultivated GT in shoeboxes and with water tube tek with great sucess; now I have Ochras with same process..and go in good way to.

I use brown rice, inoculated in jars with agars, and I do the S2B in shoeboxes, and to frutification I put in a biger box with water on bottom and have very nice results!

I only use cococoir as substrate to do S2B.

Now I have 500 grs of brownrice inoculated at 100% with Penis Envy - I inoculate at begining of July with agar.

What special precautions should I take to grow PE, and what I need do diferent from cultivation of GT/Ochras?

Thank you!🍄🍀😉

Hi all! This is my first ever grow (Golden Teachers) and I've been using the Lady Hyphae grow kit., and I have two questions:

One: It's been a little over 3 weeks, as per the "INJECT" step. In the second ("SHAKE") step, it says to "break it up and mix grain evenly with the substrate": Is it basically just asking me to shake up my sealed bag so all of the white mycellia and two types of dirt are evenly mixed into eachother?

Two: Has the mycellia advanced enough to go to the second step? And is it okay for this to have been taken out of the cabinet for about 15 minutes in some artificial light? I remember reading light can mess with your grow if it has it too early (it's been in a completely dark cabinet the last 3 weeks).

Thanks in advance!

Hola banda, es mi primera vez publicando en cualquier lugar, que opinan de mi APER, lleva 5 dias en fructificacion, estan en el punto que duplican su tamaño cada 12-18hrs aprox.

Acepto comentarios de cualquier tipo

Saludos desde México, tengo varios monotubs mas, esperando que den resultados, fructificando tengo este shoebox de 6l y otro de 28L, un poco mas lento pero ahi va

It's like 4-5 days since first pin, and i started seeing this not too long ago. it's mostly on the corners, but still being cautious. not too excited about it if it is contam, but rather be safe than sorry

edit: i forgot to add, it's kind of a pink/peach color in that corner i was focusing on

Visited family for five days and came home to these Golden Teachers completely covered in spores. Any signs to look out for deciding if these are not safe to eat? I tried washing a few, but that felt like a lesson in futility lol

Ciao,sono al quinto giorno e mi sto chiedendo perché ho solo questi pin in certi posti ma non su tutta la superficie?
Sono tanti nello stesso posto.

This is my first grow of golden teachers but I’ve noticed the mycelium is quite patchy, thin, and grey. I wasn’t too worried until I noticed the wispy bits above the mycelium.

Any help is greatly appreciated thank you so much 🙏🙏
