Anyone making saw dust spawn and innoculating it with a palm innoculation tool and wax seal the same way you do shitake, herecium ganoderma oysters? Why shoud this be any different it will fruit when it is time that way.

I don't think anyone here is doing logs outdoors, but why not - feel free to join in and do it!

 

Just cased a couple colonized quart jars of G. dilepis and put them in the FC - going to see if these will fruit bottle culture style...

I will see If I can find some spores not sold out I found some gyms last year but I was not set up like I am now.

I’ve decided to use paper pellets, fine chopped straw and fine oak saw dust as a layer over the egg carton if it seems right structurally. I’m torn about hydrating with dilute coffee from spent grounds or not. Thinking just a bucket tek fype pasteurization with boiling water. I think I might pull out the egg carton, add boiled verm to the bottom of the tub, and then place it where it can be 50-60 degrees and get something like fresh air.

Damn gym lute is like 100% germination rate on agar in 2 days. Beautiful. Still have gym purpuratus in a bag creeping. I’ll get there some day

I liked the idea above and it was $4/bale for paper pellets and the same for aspen chips. I'm pasteurizing now. I'll be adding to the egg carton in a bit. The egg carton is already in a shoebox tote so that will just fruit from there if I get that far.


EDIT: here is the egg carton before and after the paper/wood was added. No supplements. There was the tiniest hint of green in on of the corners that never colonized well, I just put it to the back of the air flow, tore it off, chunked it, and added the wood/paper mix. The egg carton had certainly taken off, hopefully jumps to the new layer and runs fast. New layer is 1-2 inches deep.
