    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.

    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?

    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,
