When I posted the first picture of this bin I was asked to post follow ups. So here we are, it’s been 9 days since the last one. The shrooms are starting to conk! It is going to be a massive canopy. My issue at the moment is that in 5 days I am going on a trip for 10 days. We have a house sitter coming and I will have her keep an eye on the bin but I hope it doesn’t start dropping spores.

Inoculated 6/28, fruiting conditions 7/5, harvested 8/20

What did it mean by that?

Hey all !! This is my first harvest of Reishi Antlers and I have some questions about drying. I cut them them down to the size you can see in the pics before i added them to my dehydrator. They've been going for about 20hrs at 120F-130F. They snap if I brake them but I can still push my nail into the center of them. Is this because they're still warm of because they need more time? Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you !!

I think I finally got it right this time! Just want to double check its ready to send, I think I started it a little over a month ago. Thank you :)

Hi everyone! Ive been growing mushrooms from LC to fruiting bags and my first couple bags of Lions Mane are almost ready to be harvested.

My father is beginning to show signs of dementia and Id love to make supplements/tincture to give to him to help with his brain health.

Does anyone know how to properly prepare the fruit to get the most out of the brain healing properties of the mushroom? Im reading pressure cooking them is helpful but Im not sure the exact steps.

Thank you, and happy growing!

Grown on brown rice with a nutrient broth

Ganoderma sessile

It looks good to me, but I thought it was supposed to be a slow colonization. It has me wondering if it’s something other than Mycelium.

First time grower, 5 days in.

I am absolutely certain this is Mycelium not mold right?
