Growpotkin Super excited for my first attempt at growing mushrooms. Here’s what the Zamnesia website has to say: The magic mushroom Psilocybe cubensis Golden Teacher made its first appearance in the late 1980's. The origin is unknown, but what the name refers to is plain to see - the caps have a golden color and the effect can teach you new perspectives. You can expect several flushes - and all you need is a tad of patience. Happy travels!

Growpotkin Quite a lot of mycelial growth but no pins yet! Moved this into my grow tent because the house is too cold, so I suspect that has held things up.

Growpotkin We have action! Two small caps have appeared overnight. Have rearranged the bag to make space. It’s taken a while but I’m very excited!

Growpotkin Lovely to see fruiting bodies popping up. It’s hard to see in the photos but a bunch are growing in between the substrate and the side of the tub.

Growpotkin I have blue mold! Incredibly disappointed. I’ll keep it going but I can’t imagine a positive outcome. Super bummer.

Growpotkin Yep, I think we’re done. I’m pretty disappointed, so we’ll see how the next attempt goes.

Nice start! Most P. cubensis look the same when they are growing. If you eat them fresh they will be stronger vs dried. I've done 5 flushes out of a mono tub before. 2nd flush tends to grow fewer mushrooms that are larger in size. and smaller yields after that per flush. I've also cut it up and spread it out in two tubs to increase surface aria and encourage more fruiting sites after a small recovery period. When its all spent bury it whole in the yard with some compost or manure and they may pop up in a few months time :D You can also take half the mycelium brick and break it up then mix it into a new tub, it will colonize it like your smaller box right now. but medium needs to be treated/sterilized to prevent opportunistic organisms. stupid simple mix of coir, gypsum and manure works well.

@Growpotkin, no problem :) I think I am better at growing mushrooms then I am weed, Or at least I find it much easier. I should also do a diary if and when I grow them again. You can also keep the mycelium in "veg" so to speak if you keep the RH high and the FAE or fresh air exchange next to nothing. It gets triggered into fruiting or "flower" when there is more FAE and the RH starts to drop. You will start to notice little knots on the surface of the medium/mycelium, they will turn into fruiting bodies/single mushrooms when triggered. When your fruiting they only need a small bit of light, anything small like ambient sun in a room or even a dinky 5w led from a dollar store. Nothing like a grow light is needed, with out light the fruiting bodies get real long and slender. Can keep them in the dark for all other stages of growth. Good Luck with it all and happy fruiting!

@m0use, this is absolutely awesome. Will definitely bear this in mind!

Nice Bro. I've done tons of brf cakes with gt. Do you plan on getting a spore print?

@B_dawg, thanks! I hadn’t planned to, should I?

@Growpotkin, if you plan on growing them again I would. Just place one of the caps on some clean foil and let it sit until it's leaves a spore print (the black dusty looking stuff). You can then make your own syringes and inoculate your own substrate.

@B_dawg, rad! Thanks, I’ll definitely do that. Appreciate the tip!

@Crawlndog, thanks! Yeah, really interested to see how it works. Of course we’ve got a cold snap at the minute and the house is a bit cold, so we’ll see…
