    First time Reishi student seeking some guidance or links

    Or, would i just be better off innoculating a bunch of saw dust, filling the holes with that, covering the holes with wax and that will do the trick? Thanks again!

    From what I can gather the log way looks the simplest. But I have mycellium in agar. Apparently I need to get this mycellium into carpentry plugs and then bash them into holes. So I need to firstly innoculate the plugs?
  3. Hi everybody, I just received my first Ganoderma Lucidum mycellium in the mail thanks to a very helpful corroboree member. Now to get it going. Its a very aggressive strain so will apparently grow on anything. I have got sawdust from a fig tree and I have got some old logs. From what I understand, the logs need to be fairly fresh. Sawdust is only a couple weeks old. The log is probably years old. I am wondering if anybody knows of some really basic teks? I don't have humidifiers but I do have a fairly natural back yard. Its winter here, obviously SE coast of qld. Not too cold, but too cold probably for the mycellium to take off? From what I can gather growing in some saw dust is the fastest method. Soak the dust - drain it, mix in the mycellium? I'm a newbie but I've read most of the threads here on reishi. Is it similar to growing shitake though? More or less? Any pointers would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance, Bobby.

    What chances does the mycelium have if another bacteria evolves nearby?

    thanks for the responses guys. Gerbil thanks for the information. That is encouraging to know. I guess I'm interested in developing the mushrooms ability to fight molds and bacterias. thanks for the health cautions. so wait till the myc is about to die and take a little sample and place it in another fruiting jar? a jar that starts with another myc has far greater chances of developing before a mold i'm assuming... also is there at all a spray or liquid that can also be added to kill a mold and not make it toxic so the myc can eat that matter?

    New Solo Project :)

    keep it comin! when i login to myspace i'll friend u. i dig soundcloud.com for sharing music. very cool setup for muso's to collab without the myspace ego.
  7. i used my labour day quite well i think... hope somebody likes it
  8. If you are growing in a jar, and mold takes form inside, what are the chances of the mycelium winning and destroying the mold? Would you guys just throw away that jar or would you wait it out and see what happens?

    Chernobyl Mushrooms

    absolutely amazing. thanks for the find.
  10. Hi everyone, I have collected different mushrooms in the past but would like to grow some for personal experiments. I have collected lots of cayenne seeds if anybody wants those. I'd be willing to pay for postage + a price for some spores. Looking for reishi or some sort of exotic psylocybin. Also if anybody has fungi that is a great addition to a vege garden or compost that would be really cool. private message me or leave a comment! Thanks, home food grower disclaimer: this is purely for microscopy
