saguaro Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Have you seen those bags of mycelium that are supposed to release CO2 into greenhouses etc.? (I'm not recommending this product, I'm using this pic to illustrate what I'm talking about) Does anyone know what species is used in these bags? Second hand info I've heard is that someone threw the contents on the bag in their garden and it fruited turkey tails. The producer of the pictured ones claims the mycelium they use was selected because it produces CO2 consistently and doesn't produce primordia. Could be helpful info, in my (limited) experience, Trametes doesn't like to form primordia invitro (aka without ample fresh air exchange). anyone tried using these? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgrath111 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Interesting mate, I didn't know they were made of mycelium. I just thought people used them to grow canna. Do you normally use a C02 product to help with fruiting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saguaro Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 high CO2 is part of the reason why primordia formation is suppressed in this bag. excess CO2 isn't beneficial for fruiting. 1 hour ago, mcgrath111 said: I just thought people used them to grow canna. i wouldn't be surprised if that's why people use em. I'm only really interested in what species of mycelium is used in these bags out of curiosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funghi-man Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Ive had the same thought when I saw them first appearing in the grow shops. They're not cheap either. Didier you ever find out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saguaro Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Pretty sure they're using turkey tail mycelium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
