lindsay Posted December 18, 2013 thank you, thank you. arrived last Tuesday week and got it, onto some new agar Wednesday. took a few days to get moving and going aerial at the start. I guess it need to suss out the new agar mix. well its of like a rocket now. in the last 2 days, its gone from 5c peace to a 20c peace. used a MYA, but used half the malt I usually use and added soy peptone, seems it be traveling well so far. happy as a pig in a forest of truffles. cheers mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Peddler Posted December 18, 2013 I wonder if this mushroom could grow well in the Aussie summer if humidity could be increased and maintained?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lindsay Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) i will be making some prints, Supermaught. i will make a few spares. i will let you know when i have. yes Psychonaut. the ones you see in the pics are in heat and lime pasteurized wheat straw, the same you would for oysters. 250ml (1 cup) hydrated lime to 45ltr of water and heat pasteurize 60c-70c for 60 min. recommended inoculation rates are usualy 5-6% but i have gone 10% to make up for the lack of nitrogen in the straw. well thats my the theory. i have heard of others adding lucerne hay to there straw. i have 10 other different combos x2 of substrates on the go with 3 different casings. so hopefully i will learn something from these. casing for the bags in the pics, is coco fibre 2 ltrs vermiculite 2 ltrs cal carbonate 200ml cal sulfate (gypsum) 200ml pasteurized at 60-70c for 60min another casing mix that is working just as well is the mix above, mixed with equal parts old horse poo. the others im trying are not ready yet. i have noticed that the bags that were inoculated in a ring around the outside have started 5 days earlier than the ones inoculated oyster style. incubating was done in complete darkness and has not effected the fruiting. why others recommend 12hrs light i don't know yet. i have just cased some identical bags 2 incubated in the dark and 2 in 12hrs of light per day. each type of mushroom is a different animal, so lets see what happens.

lindsay Posted March 17, 2014 getting to the end of my Calocybe indica grow. really impressed me this mushroom. here is my last crop just before picking the most productive bag the biggest mushroom I had one crop take 38+c temps in the colonizing, pinning and fruiting, and did not blink a eye. under 30c it does slow down a bit in fruiting. I've given it a new name for myself, the summer mushroom. it is one tough mutha of a mushroom in summer. going to give it a try next year in some outdoor beds covered in plastic and shade cloth.
