Oh well that was what I was told.

Trying to get as much done as I can before baby 2's arrival ;)

I did a few random straw bags that did ok but I do intend on giving it a crack on a supplemented wood/sawdust block as I gear they taste way better off that. more recently I did a few large substrate bags for a local school and I'm waiting for photos ;)

Haha - my wife sends me to the compost heap quite often. ;) your defibately throws off some very uniform flushes

That flush of shrooman's looks fantastic - dud you notice a taste difference between wood v straw pr similar substrates?

Nsf's does look very tidy!

My white oyster strain was given to me by an old friend when I got back into the hobby and I had no intention of selling it as I'm not really an oyster fan myself but literally broke open four Petri dishes by cracking them it got my attention. not sure of its origin but I doubt its an official aloha bank strain or any other similar commercial strain. But then again I have ko1 and ko3 king strains and my Aussie sourced one seems way better.same thing with pioppino - have swordbelt and workie's and Worowa's performs.better.

Looks great on straw there nsf. Nice even flush.

I got confused -anyone want blewit strain that pins but hasnt yet fruited or one of my king strains?

My wife refused to eat those kings on shape alone... LOL

I just cased two large bags with two more to go. Have to fruit in a cheapo fruiting chamber at present but my better set up is finally unpacked post mites...

Thanks mate - these were more test grows of specifici strains more than anything else:

They were superb!

These are all test grows so rarely on more than 1 to 1.5 litres of wood. Will be doing big baggies now I know which strains are worth it Here is some rhizomorphic lightning from lepista saeva: And the superb SRA strain looking tidy:

Oops posted the same twice.

Here are some photos (more and better to come) of Forest Fungi's Pioppino - Agrocybe aegerita - my current favourite taste wise: On agar by accident: Uncased: I have better photos of that big bunch. Second flushes were cased and three up one or two big boys which seemed to taste even better:

I have more photos of my two indoor King Stropharia coming (on my phone rather than my wife's and thus annoying to upload):

Sorry for the freaky results - I was away for some of the period they fruited so Co2 may have played a part...

I like them cooked with cheese

Look pretty right to me. Should smll strongly of orange juice or lately ive found gin or pine.

Grow bags are pretty expensive here compared to the states - all the shops in the states want to charge outrageous postage. Worowa at Forest fungi is the best deal i could find.

No nothing I have ever owned as done it on agar before. Interesting. SRA certainly pisses on grain and saw dust though so who knows.

Forest fungi may be able to help.
