Leaving a grow box for a weekend is a good idea?

Grow box question

I want to have a plastic grow box of golden teacher, is it safe to leave them growing unmonitored for a couple of days?

I've grown them years ago and remember giving them lots of attention, spraying inside the plastic bag with the oxygenated water a couple of times every day.

Is it safe to not do this for a couple of days?

The ambient temperature around here right now is pretty stable at around 20c all the time.

Thanks

Question for APE growers - how much does appearance change after drying?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I’ve recently come across some dried mushrooms described as Albino Penis Envy, and I was curious about how much their appearance can vary after drying.

I know it’s not possible to reliably confirm a cubensis variety from dried specimens, so I’m not expecting a definitive ID!

I’d just love to hear from people who’ve actually grown APE about whether the appearance can vary significantly, especially the cap colour and stem shape.

I've included a photo of the remaining mushrooms in their bag because there seems to be quite a bit of variation in appearance across the batch.

Thanks! :)

Whats your opinion on the strain-Avalanche

Where would you rank the strain-Avalanche?

I went through a QP of Penis envy (very quickly haha) very potent and experienced multiple different heavily intensified affects which I love

Just grabbed a HP of Avalanche, haven’t tried yet but would appreciate anyone that has knowledge of the 2 or any strains and how you would compare them?
Im aware penis envy is one of the best but I want to know where Avalanche stands in comparison penis envy as well as compared to other strains in terms of potency and affects/interest

Appreciate anyones input!

I placed an order on Thick Spores on September 28 and paid. I have sent the receipt for the payment via email and text and even tried to call several times with no reply at all. I have a tracking number but the package is stating to be at their facility since October 7. Anyone else having issues purchasing through Thick Spores?

Found 0 liberty caps even though I searched for 2.5h.

0 Upvotes

I live in Brittany, France near Rennes.

Decided to look in pastures yesterday.

Found a lot of cool mushrooms (between 5 and 7 different species) but not a single liberty caps.

I've seen that you can find them in acidic soil and where I live meets this criteria.

What criteria could I be missing that might help me find liberty caps?


r/shroomers • • 18h ago

Are these liberty caps? I found them today in a horse pasture—my first possible finds! They seem similar to conecaps and mottlegills, so I’d appreciate help identifying them. I don’t want to accidentally eat a poisonous lookalike.

Okay, so I cleaned this whole left side of my closet with bleach, a quick, small wipe down. I got some Burma spores that already shipped, on the way from Premium Spores. Just found this website with super cheap syringes. I know there's mixed reviews about this company, but it seems like a good small business ran by a lady named Amy. It's called Fungiculturestore Seems legit and cool strains. I can't fail now, lots of fail safes, can cheap be to good to be true or? And everything good and sterile, even though I'll still pushed my t-shirts to the right? The left side is all clear...

Not going to put my eggs all in one basket and just doing small .5 ml inoculations of Uncle Ben's 90-second brown rice or the generic version that's even better... Thoughts, comments, and opinions??. I've done my research really well, and I'll do a dub tub or throw a turkey bag over the shoe boxes if the mushrooms grow too high. We're starting with the Burma cuz it'll be here first to arrive and probably colonize the fastest. Got 5 lb of CVG mix I'll use for substrate and just add colonized bags on top of the shoebox once it's filled then add a small layer, then put a light layer of substate on top.

I don't need to explain all this to you guys. You know what's up. I know what I'm doing, thanks to Gemini AI. Was really helpful with instructions!

Put my harvested mushrooms in a plastic bag overnight before dehydrating them and they smell like feet. Are they spoiled?

I originally dehydrated them for 7hrs at 135F then had to go work so I took them out to redehydrate them after I got back from work.

First grow, fruiting conditions - help needed

About 2 weeks since initial cut was added for FAE, expanded as small pins developed but now developments has stopped on top of the block and begun changing colors. Side pins should be visible in pics, no larger than 1-2cm. Growing area is pretty low RH so I normally mist and fan daily to help with hydration. APE if anyone wants the strain. What is the next move?

Automated grow kit suggestions

0 Upvotes

I wanna get some sort of automated grow kit and I’m trying to decide if I should get the tabletop ecosphere from Midwest grow kits, or the automated boomr bin from north spore. I’d be growing under my bed and I’d have to buy an additional heat mat if I went with the ecosphere. I was just wondering what yall recommend between those two, or maybe the mycoclimate from Midwest. I was also wondering if it would be most yeild per dollar efficient to try monotubs in this automated set up or use the ecosphere/automated monotub as a fruiting chamber for multiple blocks from all in one grow bags

AIO bag- why are they pinning on the plastic and not the block?

The strain is Avery’s albino. The lines in the block are from fork tek because they weren’t pinning after being introduced to oxygen. Other bags where I didn’t fork tek are doing the same thing
