Subaeruginosa grow

ShinobiFeather · 10-12-09, 00:13

Hooray,

There are finally pins showing!! Yippee.....
These have been in the F.C since the wild season finished. Inside, and outside. Now they've been outside for about 6 weeks at least.
About 2.5- 3 months maybe in total..
Temps are still 8- 18 deg C. And humidity between 70-85% outside.
They are brf cakes spawned to pine bleached pine chips, cased with 50/50 verm/cactus soil.

They dried out several times.. and needed resoaking.. have had flies munching on 'em.. thought they were just gonna mould over, until all of a sudden- Voila!
I intend to share many more pics as we go, but need to recharge the camera batteries right now-

Excellent work!

Another successful woodlover grower!

The pins are soo cute!

Nice, we don't see too many subaeruginosa grows around here.

Did the spores originate from Australia or New Zealand?

Very cool!

ShinobiFeather · 10-17-09, 19:34

Thanks guys,
they're Aussie shrooms-
Originating from the Capital, itself

First pinset saw about 20 pins- this is probably about the best i've done so far even with mulitspore cubes. So, im rather happy.

They're on average only as large as have been in found in the surrounding wild- slightly dissapointing, but I know the potency wont be.

Will have to upload more pics soon, when my net connexn is faster again

Hallelujah

waylitjim · 10-21-09, 21:13

Congrats!

Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

ShinobiFeather · 10-23-09, 01:16

Thanks Waylit,
when the time comes, the rue will be enjoyed along with them.

Say, I don't spose you have any tricks for keeping em hyrdated?
They'll definitely recieve a thicker casing layer next time, and most probably some leaves in the mix-
but yeah, they end to dry out a lot and dont seem to hold much water with the woodchip..

You might consider placing the trays inside a large tub with a lid. After you water the trays, they'll retain moisture better if not left in the open air. You can keep the lid slightly ajar to let fresh air enter the tub.

ShinobiFeather · 10-24-09, 20:16

Well there's the trick, they've been in a humidity chamber the whole time and they still dry out

Anyway, here's some more pics

Hey ShinobiFeather!
Very beautiful mushrooms!

I don't know if this can be of help. Some time ago some of my pan trays were drying out as they had just started to pin and fruit, and I managed to water without directly flooding the shrooms while it was in the FC. If you are able to drain the water after an hour or two without harming the substrate (substrate falling off etc) then I don't think it could hurt. If you can't tilt the tray without risking damage maybe just punch a hole in the side at the bottom.

My reservations are/were mostly for fast fruiters like pans, I think this might be good for woodlovers as long as it's done with moderation (not every other day). I did it again just yesterday for another tray of pans, where I didn't care to dunk, or mist in the FC. However, better wait for an OK or NAY from one of the experts.

Not much else about it, but here is were I wrote a bit when I first tried.

Thanks Om Shanti,

They're quite hardy on pine chips. They've actually been getting a 'water' each day or 2. They'll get a good spray wherever looks dry, and each 2-3 days they NEED a resoak. Even in cold temps, in a F.C they dry out so quickly!
I really shoulda took my own advice and cased them with Acacia leaves. There's another tray- I may just do that with those, unless they pin soon. Maybe i'l grow a mighty monster ready for next year. I've got a spare wheely bin somewhere..
