First Time Shroom Grower PF-Tek

me either man..im gonna be bummed the fuck out
damn pins took too long
thinking im gonna pick everything before i leave and recase and hopefully ill get back at the right time
i dont really know what to do but just say FUCK
 
I put a new cake in my FC and harvested six more large shrooms, they are drying now.

I want to try casing this next cake, can I just use potting soil?
 
Ahh your still up. Either you pick, and recase, or you leave them, and come back to a bunch of big mushrooms and spores everywhere.

Thats cool you should do the latter JG! Pretty cool if the shrooms complete a complete life cycle in your FC and you come back to some really cool huge shrooms!

I don't know about potting soil NG. Thats sweet you got some big ones, did you take any pics?

I really need to get a camera huh? Well maybe after this next harvest:weed:

I was wondering though these shrooms grew really fat hollow stems because I added a little too much water to the FC an they got a little wet. It seems like the excess moisture caused them to grow larger but less dense. The shrooms I harvested before stayed dry and had dense stems but smaller caps, not a as large size wise.

Anybody notice this phenomena?
I'm high bongsmilie
 
Ive picked a few and noticed that they had hollow stems, but I also read that it is common with the B+ strain so i never really thought about it too much

I really want to leave these to pick when I get back but it seems like such a long time to be gone and Im afraid they would all be fallen over and getting rotten by the time I got to pick them...ahhhh fuck it Im going to let them go.

My house is only about an hour away so I might just drive over here sometime after Xmas, snap some pics to show you guys, pick some shrooms, and recase it and drive back.
 
Oh shit if you are only going an hour away bro, just take a road cruise! You'll prolly want to get away from the family for a couple hours at some point any ways right! Are you gonna be gone till after new years? I can't remember, but if you went back after christmas, and picked them, you could trip on New Years!!! Thats what I'm hoping to do! I've got some mild myc growth, but what I can see looks more like rhyzo growth ten the light fluffy growth. So my hopes are high. I'll post pics tonight.
 
yeah man, ill get a bag and load the pipe and hit the road. I should be back new years eve..Ive got about an 1/8th left so ill be tripping on New Years either way:hump:
I hope yours give you some shrooms so you can be tripping new years too!
Ill be looking for those pics man
bongsmilie:peace:
 
That sweet I think I'll have them by then. They have been going so fast, they have only been in the FC for 3 days. I'm cook in up more grain right now.
 
I was taking a stroll around the yard and noticed a little patch of mushrooms and one lone orange mushroom
I grabbed my camera and took a few shots, and decided to print some

Thats cool man, I like to pick random ones that I find. I would suggest in the future to take the spore prints on 2 differant pieces of paper right next to each other. A white peice, and a black peice. Some spores are light colors, or dark, and a piece of paper will make it easier totell what color the print is. The color of the print is a key to identifing the mushroom.
 
more pins have popped up
seems like a good amount of pins
lets hope for few aborts

not cubensis...

i always pick and print the yard shrooms, professional curiosity.

that's a huge substrate. i was disappointed when i tried the big tub substrate.

i've found numerous small casings in aluminum bread baking pans work better. when one section is dead/infected, remove that pan instead of trashing the whole substrate.

good luck, looks like you'll get a good harvest.
 
Cool JG you have crocus coming up too, one of my favorite flowers.
Any idea is potting soil will work as a casing?
I have another cake ready to be birthed but i wanted to try casing this one. :peace:
