Hey all! Refrigerated some of my colonised jars for a few months but they're quickly springing back into action. I noticed this anomaly in one of the jars (the largest ). I'm assuming its yeast (but hoping its primordia forming lol) thankfully isn't present in any other jar. I'm planning to fruit it in a separate small tub as I'm told yeast contam can prevent fruiting. What are your thoughts on this? Have you seen these spots before and is it consistent with yeast? Thanks so much everyone!

Hey all, My block of coco coir has been sitting out the front of my house for sometime (months), still dry. Is pasteurisation going to cut it or are contaminants going to run wild and should I just buy another block. Has anyone had success with an older block of coir or is it important that it's clean. Cheers all!

Hey all, I am 95% sure I am taking spore prints of wild cubensis found growing out of a cow pat outside of Newcastle but a couple of things are stumping me. The stipe (not pictured) has a purple/black annulus present although with no blue bruising and the dried caps are papery, thin and spongey. Is this consistent with your experiences of wild cubensis? Cheers guys! I love the spore prints from these

Yeah definitely do - it cant replace the physical thing for me haha Likewise! Will let you know if i come across any doubles. Which do you have and which are you after?

Hey all! Just started an ambitious quest in hunting down all volumes of Flora of Australia, (5 so far...) If anyone has any volumes lying around, collecting dust or looking for a better home please let me know - they are about as in-depth as i can find when it comes to identification! Thanks so much everyone!

fyzygy is right and also i've found cultivated floribunda to be less hardy

Hey all I cant tell if this caapi vine is variegated and heathy or it has some sort of disease. It looks good but id hate to ignore it if it was an issue! cheers

Here's an interesting picture shared by Crime pays but botany doesn't, on Instagram https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3CBOpT2-NRvoc2ecFMDCsA

Okay, thats great to know. I just shook it (Not sure if this was a mistake) and ill wait for it to return to how it was and ill transfer to some hard wood pellets or something similar Thanks!

Does full colonisation look completely white?

Hey all! I did a grain to grain transfer of lions mane and all jar turned out with faint wispy strands. I've heard this isnt unlike lions mane myc

Thank you so much, you managed to decode my post pretty well haha! I never realised how much genetics would play a role so i'll have to have a play around with clones etc Cheers!

Hey all! Through all my fungal projects i have never noticed "flushes". Growth seems to be uncoordinated - if i were to harvest as soon as the mature fruit was ready i would be harvesting some under developed fruit with them. I was hoping someone could tell me what conditions should be met to coordinate flushes. Thanks again guys!
-
Exciting news! Why isn't it more widely practiced? I've even heard people say its easier to start from scratch than to feed a monotub haha
-
Sure did! Thanks for reminding me to make an update - it didn't spread any further than the picture and the tub was A-OK!
-
Hey all! Haven't seen much on splitting a colonised but healthy monotub and mixing with fresh substrate... Is there any reason this wouldn't work? Cheers!
-
Woo! Glad to hear it - slime mould would be be interesting... its not particularly slimy (looking) at all
-
God bless you! It's a bit of a mental game hey! And you're so right they're already giving me the lessons I'm after Cheers!

Here's the tote 12 days after spawning. Any idea what the contam is or more importantly how it can be avoided in the future? EDIT: I used probably half the grain spawn i should have in the tub so colonisation is expected to be slow, i'll continue to grow it out, no real harm in that
-
its definitely not strong growth, something i should be worried about? it hasn't really taken off any "fix"?? Cheers!
-
Woah, thanks so much! I guess im not alone in my hypochondria haha
-
Hey all! Woke up to this in the monotub can anyone confirm my suspicion of cobweb mould?? Cheers all! I'm just obsessing over the possible contam EDIT: I'm a hypo (myco?) chondriac

Keeping Quail Courtunix japonica

Ay! Glad there's a threat for this! Just set up a homemade incubator and hatched 3/12 eggs which is a terrible hatch rate! I have a lot to work on for my next hatch. Sadly one chick died the other night so im left with two but im picking up 4 chicks on Tuesday. I'll post some pics of the little guys. Glad there's a quail culture on the site
