why is it ,that with one of the slowest growing cacti (lophophora) it takes years and years to grow ..then ...with a blink of the eye it flowers , like light speed .....

hi all just like to add a few pics from a recent experiment with the medicinal reishi strain , hope the photos self explain . spawn was started then rolled into treated newspaper ( see old posts from rev on how to do this as well) tried two different supplements (no pun ) to the newspaper.. 1.brown rice flour ...about 3 big tablespoons. 2. maple syrup ..the real stuff not artificial 3. nothin just newspaper maple syrup rocks! you pick which one you think it is . sorry about the lack of science this was done rough as guts method .. some pics you can see a black mold starting , so i got a sharp knife and cut out the area..it worked , nice white myc came up from underneath a day later..more to come when i harvest . the fruiting chambers (haha) are simple cloning/propogation purchased from a local hydro shop..the white round tray is an old sprouting tray ...as i said rough as guts tek . :D [ 20.

hi edith i got from sporeworks ..i'm a first timer when it comes to mycology and was foolishly planning to grow this in jars with regular brf tek when i read this was not possible and came across revs write up about newspaper teks which in turn evolved into these.. this is the right way round , but when you look underneath its beautiful ..the next are about 2-3 days apart..

i just love watchin them grow , thanks for the advice rev, i have noticed the paper roll starting to shrivel up a bit ...yeah i wasnt quite sure when to harvest , thanks again rev.. :D thanks gerbil ...go on pull yer finger out and start ...it wont happen without you ...i want to see others... also i have noticed the that one of them has already dusted the humidy chambers with brown dust which i now assume are the spores ..vey dusty indeed ..visable in last pic . now i cant wait to make tea out of them..

they look so good .love the pin photo thats hot !
-
these reishi grow quick ! just a few days since the last few photos..they are hard to the touch , almost like wood...
-
just the fact that there was a PLAN to distibute to the japanese market tells you its about bucks .. in a year or so we can buy our own trees back from them..haha oh yeah lets protect who ? go to the web site where it says what a great patio plant this will make .. very precious indeed !
-
thanks people , it was very easy except for the first part where you put boiling water over the newspaper, i foolishly decided to do that part in the kitchen sink ...the prob is that the news print is dissolved by hot water and has a tendency to stick to the sides of the sink ..after i got the newspaper out i spent a good half hour cleaning the "stainless"steel sink so my wife didnt kill me ...would've needed more than reishi tea to cure that pain rev does mention in the post to use a bucket !doit [ 20.

how long would it take for cuttings to start getting around ..that would have to have some effect on pricing the following year or so?
-
nothin new ..have tried it myself ...you have to be really careful with it ..only put glue on the very outer dark green edge ..its easy to screw up ,and end in glue goin everywhere and thats bad for the cactus. its really not worth trying with anything precious like lophs , it does work if you get it right but just as easy with trad grafting methods. oh yeah many times with stuck fingers to cactus not funny.... :D

with all the spinnin out i thought you must have had a store or something quote: The only way to order is to email? so what ? quote: Then what's the advantage of them being in sydney? i suppose the packages dont have to travel as far for sydney area people ..unless its quicker from some distant hick town. quote: How come the store only has a few of each plant in stock? i dont know ? plan on buying bulk ? go see urbantribes.com.au another sydney based supplier who also take email orders.

calm down dude ..why not just email them .. oh i see ...competition

i hear the white sap in the euphrobia cacti's(spelling?) can cause blindness if it comes into contact with your eyeball also cause some serious skin stuff as well .
