What would your best advice to be for adamant watering while pinning?? Mycelium on 💯cor&vic kinda got a yellowish tint to it during fruiting. I read mycelium piss and that made the most sense. What’s your take and have u had this issue??
@@chrismoyer7778 probably metabolites, if there’s a ton of it it’s usually an indicator of a contam. I only mist and water when needed (a mono tub or a monotub-like setup will usually not require misting when dialed in for the first flush).
@@Mycophilia Thanks for the tip, its not all over. Think the sub is getting dry and cor is showing. Anyway another question for you boss. Have you ever grown Morel mushrooms? I inoculated 2 jars about 2 months ago and they both look beautiful with mycelium. Trying to come up with a good substrate but on the edge with so many. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. u have already taught me once so im sure u can teach me this weatherman
Sometimes it's hard to sift through the information I am needing. I've enjoyed all of this. Even information I already knew. Thanks for being knowledgeable and explaining things well! I have a new favorite!
That’s exactly what I’m saying I’m not advanced in this but I’m not beginner but so i do understand the time and effort it takes patience and just care some people think I know I’ll get a box grow some fungi and then move onto the spores but not as easy as it seams. And yea this did help loads made it easy to follow without diving through information. Also I would like to request if you can do a video going through the stages from start to finish your technique and how to use the agar too. Thank you
Who even knew that you aren't aloud to say the name? I mean I didn't think it was anything you'd get flagged for. Either of the two parts of that name can be said on TH-cam, as far as I know, but perhaps they don't allow those words in conjunction with mycology.
I currently have a tub of choir lovers going that I've removed trich from twice, the last time was ten days ago. I cut out the contam, soaked the edges in alcohol and put out in quarantine. It's produced over an Oz since the first contam, and has now colonized the hole where the substrate is missing and started producing pins on the edges where I removed it. It produced an Oz before contam. Crazy happens
Lol. Ghetto. You can not salvage a contaminated grow. All the pins will abort. But enjoy. Pain is the best teacher. Next time pay attention to sterile procedure.
ok so I normally do the twist and pull method cause I was told if you cut no other mushrooms will grow where you have stubs. also I seem to have a big problem with the twist and pull method i get alot of them that grow in tight clusters that are at different stages I usually have to pull them all because i damage them by twisting and pulling the ones next to them.
Love these videos, thank you. Also, you're absolutely right - FAILURE IS IMPORTANT! I do a lot of gardening, and am only just getting into growing my own mushrooms, and trial and error is so important in gardening and nearly every aspect of life. Making mistakes means you learn. PS i think the frilly thing you were talking about is a ruff.
The myths and just plain misinformation that get shared are amazing. It's not just the mushroom community. It gets shared and then becomes some kind of "gospel truth." Thanks for your logical and clear information!
Thank you so much for this information! I had some sporulate while out of town and I thought I'd have to dump those boxes. Thanks for the mythbusting! So much old info comes up when you google it. Experimentation and "failure": I had some uncovered grain and got contam in those boxes also while I out of town. I had read online it was okay to have some uncovered spawn. The whole time I was gone I was thinking I'm going to come home to some contaminated boxes and spores....and I did. Ahhh, experimentation. Thankfully, your videos are here to help!
Bro this is well explained I get what your saying about sterile technique I went straight from injecting into a grow bag and just leaving it on top of a heat mat in a dark box it just don’t work like that. To take your time is key and not to rush because you’ll have to start again anyway. I ended up buying a sealed lab box monotub I put in the box along with everything I need keeping everything as sterile as possible just time and patience I feel is the key. Anyway your information was livery formative in such a short video great example of the different harvesting and how to cultivate spores when to cultivate. This helps loads going to check more your videos out
Thanks you Sage. I really appreciate your vids as I’m a newbie just waiting on the first flush of my second go around after a failed first try. I absolutely agree some failure is necessary on the road to success.
@@Yourmomah03 thanks for asking. First flush is coming up now good and healthy. All I had to do was stabilize temp/moisture better and have more patience. This variety needs up to two months after casing to start producing fruit.
Thanks for this Sage--I've been hunt-and-peck harvesting my first-ever tubs and there was never enough to put in the dehydrator in one swoop because the batches were picked at different times, a few times a day, so I was sticking them in small batches in front of fans in small cardboard boxes then transferring to containers (mostly mason jars) with dry n dry packs after a couples of days in front of the fans. It worked, my mushies are cracker dry but that was time-consuming and labor-intensive--but I still love it though. Also, I think I was avoiding my dehydrator because it was one with no temp. control, so I was worried it might be too hot. I have a new one that does have temp control, so this next batch is going into the dehydrator (which dehydrating and storing is your next video, so I will be watching that one too).
Thank you man, i just harvested my first flush ever and during the night they started to sporulate and i was afraid that i might compromised future flushes.
Great video thanks for the info! I got some nice stainless dog grooming sheers with a blade that curves to the side, they work great for a quick harvest. I felt like the twist and pull was just rough on the cake personally, but good to hear it's not as damaging as I was lead to believe...
This video came up minutes after I luckily stuck my nose in and found my very first cap had opened up! Nice to hear confirmation I picked them at the right time! They were SO tiny! I thought they would be growing for days! Certainly no Envy of the Phallus there! Oh well! cute and tasty!
Thank you Sage for reminding me to wear a mask and for the tips. And the dozens of videos, it’s so nice to be able to call up the specific one that applies to my myco’s stage of development. I can’t wait to see these spores under a microscope!
3:53 why didnt you make this a day earlier ahaha, that exact thing happened to me! Got home at 11PM last night and the veil was around the stem and I said "nah ill do it tomorrow morning". Woke up to spores all over my sub!! Luckily i noticed it before i took the lid off so I was able to take it outside before harvesting.
He’s probably just worried about opening the tub inside closed doors where the spores will linger As where if you open it outside they fly away ? My guess could be wrong though
I’ve been doing this for about two years now I’ve had about eight separate genetics grow out and fruit for me. I’ve had about five get contaminated with Trichoderma, but in every case I have thrown away all the substrate after the first flush and just started over again with something different. I never liked the spores covering the Coco there were a few times where I let a few stragglers come up around the edges,
I personally like to use a mask when dealing with my mushrooms, for sanitization reasons, but it is surelly very interesting to hear about how spores can be damaging for lung health! It makes a lot of sense, i already knew that mold spores were bad but never though about other kinds of fungus
yeah, the taste.... xD thanks for the vid bro, really helpful :) I have failed with 4 batches over the past four months but now I have an uncle bens pack with substrate on top almost ready to harvest :D I almost gave up so now it feels great to have succeeded :)
Thank you for your words and experience, im on my first tub and im not sure if i should keep cutting my fruits right when the bale rips or should i let them grow bigger even if they sporulate? And will letting them sporulate affect the future growth of more fruits?
So should I open my injection and forget bag, and harvest them as and when they’re ready? I got a tiny one that’s ready, but the rest have only just started to grow and don’t wanna leave it in there for it to kill the rest with spores, yet don’t wanna open the bag to remove it and risk contamination of the rest
Spores won’t hurt the rest lol, and opening the bag has nothing to do with contamination. They grow on cow poo in the open air. They’ll be fine lol, they know what they’re doing. 99% of contam come from spawn, sterile technique and inoculant, not once spawned to bulk/fully colonized.
Hi! I am a newbie and accidentally harvested my mushrooms 1-2 days too late. I came home one day and my grow bag was covered in spores, as well as some of the mushroom caps. Is it still safe to consume (after using a dehydrator)?
I LOVE your euphemisms. The "one gram of shitake" and "flavonoids" were marvelous, but "Envious of the phallus" sent me. Thanks for all this work! I'll see you in r/Mycophiles ☺
One time when younger I picked hundreds of mushrooms that I dried next to my bed with a fan and I'm pretty sure the fan blew up a lot of spores cuz my lungs felt weird for a while after that night.
I heard that if mushrooms drop their spores it tells the mycelium to basically ‘turn off’ so further flushes won’t be good…..I don’t know if it’s true I just go by picking before the veil breaks away.
I have some shoebox tubs that have started flushing blob (someone on Reddit called this genetic strain of PE that) and it’s covering the the substrate with what looks like a bunch of white rocks. How is the best was to harvest these so I can soak it for a second flush?
Only harvest if they get marshmallow-soft to the touch. Otherwise they still have a ways to grow. When they're ready, you could pluck them like any other mushroom.
The spores taste terrible, stopped collecting wild mushrooms because of that, they literally grow on the hundreds around here, the tea always ends up looking like a gray/black worm soup, and i think worms would probably have a better taste. Also people say that if the mushrooms sporulate on the mycelium, the mushroom understands it has completed its life cycle and later yields are smaller. Thanks for the info on spores being bad for the lungs, thats very important, afterwards i cleanned up an air purifier in my room that had almost one inch of dust collected on its filters, which was probably what was making me cought.
Great video! If you take a spore print how do you get the spores into a syringe like you get from a vendor? Is it complicated? Thanks so much for the info! Commenting for the algorithm
You can scrape the spores onto agar and let them grow to find a clean culture. Thats the best method. The second method is more risky due to the inherent nature of spores being dirty, is to put sterilized water into a syringe and then squirt the water onto the print and then collect the mixture. All of this should be done inside a still air box or in front of a flowhood.
I forgot to rehydrate my Oyster mushrooms and they dried out on the farming brick. They dont smell bad or anything they just dried out. Are they saft to eat?
Do Copelandia have a Veil that breaks? I don't see any! It's my first grow and they have very small fruits and long tall stems. When would be the best Time to harvest them? Thanks my good sir...❤
Hi! Thanks for this video full of knowledges, I am doing for the first time and I am trying to do at my best, just they are start grow on the side of the box. In this case how can I do? take out the mycelium and cut them or can I leave them there? does something happen if I let them there?
Fertilizer is nutritious, so without proper pasteurization it is a total risk. Much easier, safer and more effective to start a new tub, you’ll get much better yield for your time
So you can harvest one ore two individual mushrooms? Because I have about 5 that are enormous and about to pop while the rest of them are still relatively small.
about spores and lungs; years ago I developed pneumonia from the accumulation of bird feather dust in my lungs (there was a cockatoo that liked me a lot and I don't tend to argue with anyone with a face full of razor blades and the temper to use them!) does that mean that I'll also be pre-sensitized to lung issues with spores?
I'm completely new to this but attempting a all in one grow in a bag. So far it's not going well but I have a few pins going so I'm running with it. My question is, as long as a mushroom is growing it's good, right? I don't want to end up with a bad mushroom and die lol.
Spores/genetics may get mixed around on the part of the vendor or trader, but most people aren’t trading deadly species, which a lot of them wouldn’t even grow on just coir and grains even if you WERE to get them by some miracle
Although I see what your saying, sometimes if you take a mushroom for cloning before you fully got to see it mature, it might have completely different traits then what your looking for.
Hello hello! I just tried my first psi.cub experiment and it went all "good". I didn't know the mushrooms would grow precisely when I was away from home for a week. I just got home and yes, all mushrooms had already sporulated. All turned black (the cap and substrate.. stem is ok. Is it possible that my mushrooms went totally bad?
@@Mycophilia Thanks! I saw some little pins starting more darker. I was wondering if they are good when they mature. Now I will just wait them to grow.
Just did my first grow kit bag. Based on the pictures I’ve seen I expected them to grow a lot bigger so I just waited a little longer and then a bunch of them sporulated and there’s black spores all over them. Do I harvest or junk it?

First live chat for me
Haven't seen this discussed yet, but what about adding some fertilizer to the soaking cake, readying for another flush.
Fertilizer is nutritious, so without proper pasteurization it is a total risk. Much easier, safer and more effective to start a new tub, you’ll get much better yield for your time
My question is can I cultivate different spores in the same tub or will it cause problems?
There’s no benefit to doing that
So you can harvest one ore two individual mushrooms? Because I have about 5 that are enormous and about to pop while the rest of them are still relatively small.
Answered in the video
Great content!

Is it true that small fruits have the same amount of potency compared to letting that smaller fruit get bigger?

about spores and lungs; years ago I developed pneumonia from the accumulation of bird feather dust in my lungs (there was a cockatoo that liked me a lot and I don't tend to argue with anyone with a face full of razor blades and the temper to use them!) does that mean that I'll also be pre-sensitized to lung issues with spores?
Can't say as everyone's medical situation is different.
I'm completely new to this but attempting a all in one grow in a bag. So far it's not going well but I have a few pins going so I'm running with it. My question is, as long as a mushroom is growing it's good, right? I don't want to end up with a bad mushroom and die lol.
Yes!
Spores/genetics may get mixed around on the part of the vendor or trader, but most people aren’t trading deadly species, which a lot of them wouldn’t even grow on just coir and grains even if you WERE to get them by some miracle
can you still make a spore print if you pick before they sporulate ?
Depends on how early you pick them, but at the right time yes, they will start to sporulate while taking the print.
Although I see what your saying, sometimes if you take a mushroom for cloning before you fully got to see it mature, it might have completely different traits then what your looking for.
As long as you get them before they sporulate it’s fine
when do you harvest tw that realy looks like the envious...cause im right where i need to know,,and the veil open when its still a round cap
Hello hello! I just tried my first psi.cub experiment and it went all "good". I didn't know the mushrooms would grow precisely when I was away from home for a week. I just got home and yes, all mushrooms had already sporulated. All turned black (the cap and substrate.. stem is ok. Is it possible that my mushrooms went totally bad?
Awesomely explained. Very helpful video. Thanks a mill.
I was asking about the best time to clone earlier today too!
Nice video.. very concise ...and amusing..
"FLAVINOIDS" edit cracked me up!
Cheers! You are the greatest YT commentator!
Do you take all the little pins when you harvest the first flush or you leave it to grow as the second flush?
It’s up to you, you could pick them as they mature or you can harvest everything, pins and all.
I personally will let a few mature, but eventually I’ll just harvest everything as it’s less hassle.
@@Mycophilia Thanks! I saw some little pins starting more darker. I was wondering if they are good when they mature. Now I will just wait them to grow.
@@dktantalus2106 If they start getting darker/bluer on their own then they are aborts and will not grow anymore
@@Mycophilia Thank you! now im more confident grow shrooms.
Thanks for the knowledge mush love 🍄 💕
Just did my first grow kit bag. Based on the pictures I’ve seen I expected them to grow a lot bigger so I just waited a little longer and then a bunch of them sporulated and there’s black spores all over them. Do I harvest or junk it?
💀bro junk it?
@@Spectorblade yeah I did. Lol
