Mushy Mayhem

[Sun Ra]

Here are the three I got last week and how I am storing them / drying them out ?

Am I doing this right ? Worried they'll get mouldy or ants might attack them.
Any ideas welcomed.

Also in the last two pics you can see another batch of little ones on their way.

No expert but I've just been leaving mine on paper towel in my grow room with the dehumidifier running.. way smaller than yours so they dry way quicker..
They look great though, should be a good haul coming soon

Funny how they mostly seem to, so far, grow mostly around the side wall of the bag and not in the middle.

Maybe it's just a random thing ?

Same things happened with mine, but starting to get pins in the middle, they might like the extra dampness/humidity being jammed up against the bag

Insane .. are you going to try some? Haven't had any of mine

I haven't had any in at least 12 years, so I'm cautious, but keen. I will probably dry these and try some fresh ones later in the week , when I have a day to myself

Gotta figure out the best way to harvest this tub It's crazy how many are growing in there.

I’d suggest a nice fat spliff, some pink floyd in the background and a couple of tasters as you go!!

That sounds like most days here

Really need to get around to doing some tubs.. that looks awesome

 

[terrancefartbubbler]

Yea tubs are the bomb so easy I just got 284g wet out and it was only maybe a quarter of what's growing. I just do large shoe boxes so easy the first time I opened lid was today to harvest. I did notice the medium has shrunk off the walls about 5mm going to do a bottom water must be thirsty

That's a after harvest pic. So many will have to get stuck into them

How many days are those bags?

 

[Goonie Goat]

Few months, not the fastest with colonizing but I only chucked a tiny wedge of agar in each bag so took a while

I have 2 bags about 2 months old one is full of yellowy liquid the other looks good just not pinning been 100% colonized for 4 or 5 weeks

Beer snacks!

Left the bags alone for a few days and checked up to find more mushrooms which I plucked off. I did have pins in the centre of the block but they aborted I think. I feel like the conditions aren't perfect but I'm happy to get a few mushrooms every couple of days. There's so much mycelium on the bottom side and that's where the bigger mushrooms shoot from. Thinking the block might be too big for these pans, maybe I should have just done a few inches of manure and straw in the foil trays, might try that next time.
Noticed a bit of mould growing from a decaying mushroom so I sprayed some peroxide on the blocks
