It's been 3 months since I planted these outside in the desert with 3-12% humidity tops.

The secret is the beer box and misting it overnight so it's moist enough to carry the humidity when the sun hits it for 3 hours per day. This is something I've been perfecting for the past year.

Thanks for checking this out,

Just one bins harvest of the first flush of Bluey Vuitton from genetics restored via dry tissue revival (Lazarus Tek), with pictures showing progress from little pins to full fruit chronologically. Lots of fruits averaging in the 25-35g range on average. At the end is a 25lb dumbbell weighing the dehydrator closed because the caps were holding the trays open.

Just noticed some black grains...chuck? Is this contaminated?

Pretty good for that tub I posted earlier. I’ve never been able to get a second flush but the cake seems healthy still. Going for it.

The black stuff on them are spore - well.. hopefully all of it.

Background:
Im totally new to this. I woke up to them being all black due to the spores. (See https://ibb.co/album/8g9k1F ) I thought they are bad since I read they lost (all/most of their, as I thought) potency. It kinda ruined my day, I raged a lot (about myself), "harvested" them: I wanted to throw them away, so I put them in a plastic bag and let them sit there the whole day. Till I realized trashing them might be a stupid idea. That's how they look now.

They are more trashed now because of rough handling. The black, sticky spores don't help that case. Not much blue either.
Whats your opinion? Trash them? Not use them, esp. as a total beginner? Or dry them for way later?

Thank you all!

this is my first grow so i’m not exactly sure what i’m looking at, is it primordia or just mycelium. the first 2 pics are the same tub

GT in the tubs APE in the bags. I got allll the equipment a few years ago and only did one attempt at pressure cooking grain and it never colonized or turned into bacteria in the jars..... Not to sure.... This go around it appears to be working! Excited to get to the cloning and agar stage. The blocks smell exactly like button cap mushrooms from the store and I love it. I wonder what they will taste like fresh. Wish me luck! (I did mist the tubs after the picture I just had to empty out my alcohol bottle, will get more bottles tomorrow lol only one I knew would be clean)

Pulled this syringe from a pot of P. Natalensis but it’s very thick and was hard to get up the needle tip. Have I missed my window? Is it now just myc?

So I have these two bags which were slow so I b&s them, I have 4 others which are ready and have been for a few days so am anxious to get them into a box. Would I be safe to send these two with 4 other fully colonised bags? They were inoculated on 5th Mar. So about a month old. And b&s 28th Mar due to stalling. First two slides is one bag, next two are another bag.

21/2 days after noc, Decided to check on them in there is this smell idk how to really describe it does that mean potential contam?

Do these look safe for consumption? My spore supplier says these don’t drop spores, is that correct? How much more should I let these mature?

my AIO grow bag is currently about 50-60% colonized. i did the first break & shake 2 days ago and wanted an opinion on whether or not i should do it again soon. first timer btw

Anybody else use home made ? Too dry out?

APE cake made with the first four bags going from left to right. The far right two bags were not quite ready yet. I've got e out of 6 bags of LIZARD KING that look ready, so I'll wait a few more days until I have at least 4 bags ready to make that cake. For now it's more PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE....

I have a bunch of uncle ben bags colonizing, they are about 40% colonized. I just got this tent today. They have been sitting on a shelf at 75 degrees F, and 45% humidity. The tent is set at 77 degrees and 60% humidity (as suggested online for colonization conditions). Should i move them to the tent or would this cause premature fruiting?

I won't be able to touch these bags for another week. Should I send them or wait until I get back from my vacation?

Bags feel firm, no loose grains.

Please remove if not allowed :)

Quarantined this broken cake. Apparently I was just paranoid because these little guys are coming in regardless if there’s FAE or not 😂. There could be microscopic gap but I was not expecting it to start another flush is this dome.

This seems way too good to be true but I stumbled across a video today of some guy doing this. Is this rally possible and is the lc like potent enough for example would I only still have to inject .5-1ml of this lc into a rice bag?

I'm a newbie so excuse the question, but when I'm ordering vermiculite it has different mm size...what shall I get? 1-3mm, 3-6mm, or 5-8mm are the options
