Sharing the tent

[dirtymike]

Has anyone used their 12/12 tent for fruiting shrooms while their girls are in there also?

[No3odiesShad0w]

No but I have a Martha tent right outside of my grow room that will be starting the fruiting cycle in the next few days. I think the reason why most people avoid having their mushrooms in the same room as their plants is because of bacillus trichoderma.... That's one of the most common contaminations when it comes to mycology. If you grow in soil or soilless medium and you have castings or organic matter, chances are there's bacillus trichoderma spores.

They're going to be less then 3 feet from my grow room so I'm hoping it's not going to be too terrible since the substrate is fully colonized.

Mushrooms don't need grow light strength lights....1 LED diode running at .03w would be plenty light for mushrooms. They only use the light to determine when they've broken the soil surface.

Thanks, still a newbee. Got lots of reading to do. Mycology is groovy.

[Mr.furley]

It would depend on what you are growing. Dung loving mushies only get pasteurized CVG while wood loving mushies get sterilized substrate. CVG grows iv done in mono tubs in the same room, inoculated pots and added a casing layer, with tub the saying gone " either you get contamination or you dry out and that's the end of that".

I did a grow last year with 2 tents, (1) with plant feeding air though a merv 13 filter to (2) a wood loving mushies tent that recycled CO2 air back to the plants and everything went great, you just got to keep a clean work area. Wood loving block, once colonized if you are getting bacterial or fungal contamination it is coming from your L/C, grains or bad transfor practice. Ones the mycelium colonized with the block you shouldn't get contamination until the blocks are spent.

I agree mycology is way groovy, symbiotic relationships between Mycorrhizae, Saprotrophic, Parasitic in environmental is a door most don't step through.

Thank you for you knowledge Mr.furley I agree sir, Mycology is groovy. Got introduced to micro dosing 2 months ago and haven't been so at ease with the world. The door is open.

Where can I find out how to grow shrooms?

[Mr.furley]

Quite a few Y-Tube videos either way you want to go.

[dirtymike]

growing shrooms is all my duck duck needs to deep up a few.

[No3odiesShad0w]

From me lol

[No3odiesShad0w]

Flipped my mushrooms to fruiting conditions today. I'm going to write up a whole thread for it because ppl can do this for CO2 reasons not just for mushrooms.

[No3odiesShad0w]

Temps 68-72 °F. Humidity 85%

I have the T4 Inline kick on for 3 min every hour for complete FAE (fresh air exchange)

[dirtymike]

Fruiting, I'm jealous already. Got a few spots of myco going. on a few bags. On a Journey

[Mr.furley]

Nice Martha tent No3odiesShad0w be careful or you will find yourself with a new hobby. Mrs.Furley has lost every space where something can move and it's has come to a point that we're opening a location of course it is all Gourmet and the Medicinal stays with Termetes versicolor, Ganoderma multipileum and such at this point. Last year I grew enough cannabis and cubes for personal use that I had to take a break so I started with full time mycology and it just blew up.

Allenpro the shroomery forum

Mr.furley I have a SAB that I made from a 56 gallon tub and some 4in silicon plugs. I don't have the space for a laminar flow hood. I would love one. I just make rye berry jars with heavy duty foil and microport tape. I autoclave them and then I'm the SAB I inject with spores or live culture. I let that colonize and then I do the tub tek but upside-down. This way I can take off the large portion and just slip the lid with the colonized substrate into my Martha tent. I know oysters prefer vertical growing conditions. I have bags with self healing ports. I need to get them started.

[dirtymike]

Do you have another handle on the shroooomer forum Mr.furley

[Mr.furley]

Allenpro do you have a pressure cooker? dirtymike you can pm me

I wrote out a good portion of the process. I'll finish it up tomorrow.

[No3odiesShad0w]

Liquid culture is already activated spores and bits of mycelium. Spores are just spores they still need to find aco spore before they can start growing. Seed spawn will colonize much faster with liquid culture which decreases the possibility of contamination. Spores are slower so the need for fully sterilized materials is needed for success...... That's not to say you shouldn't sterilize you materials when using liquid culture.

The other problem with liquid culture is refrigeration. If you're buying liquid culture and it's not shipped overnight then it may not be viable. Especially during warmer months. Spores are much more resilient.

[dirtymike]

I guessed there would be a trade off. Learn something different everyday. Overnight night and a gamble might be in the future. I bet a few have done it before.

[No3odiesShad0w]

dirtymike people run businesses all summer long and they ship them and it seems to be fine..... But then again nothing in life is ever guaranteed
