I would like to share these pictures taken about 10 minutes ago. They are king oysters. Ancient spawn left from last spring was used to innoculate suplemented sawdust. Spawn run lasted only about a week which was surprisingly fast. The jars were left to rest about 2 weeks before being put on the balcony about 8 days ago. There is an explosion of growth in one of the jars, with the two other jars producing few but large pins. They are kept in a tub on the balcony (closed balcony), i fan about 2-3 times a day and mist now and then.
Here are a few pics for viewing pleasure. I really hope i can make some prints this time :eusa_pray and not loose the strain!

I finally have a healthy jar of KTO popcorn thats about to finish. Was trying to decided what to do with it next.

I normally use what ever i have around the house, for this batch ive used wheat bran and gypsum. But i have used brown rice flour too. Ill need to try with compost sometime, i hear that produces exelent flushes.

Glad you people like the pics, ill update when they get a bit bigger.

Check out google scholar for that, there's all kinds of experimentation that is being done in supplementation of oyster mushrooms!

Here are these wonderfull oysters maturing. Probably making an omlett for breakfast tomorow. And thank god they are sporulating, so i managed to make a few light prints.
Ill have to spawn some of the cloned specimens i made from wild collections, just for comparison!

much love!

They look awesome. Hope your prints turn out
well for future grows. Curious how you print?
Can't exactly cut the stems off since that's
where the gills are. What do you do, just lay
them on their sides?

Cheers

Thanks for all the comments people!

Yeah the only way of printing them is to put them on their sides on some foil and let them drop their load. Works like a charm.
Just made that omlett and damn did it taste good!

peace n luv

Wow Amazing how do you fat pins like that?

The fat pins are a natural trait of these mushrooms, they will produce stout pins even in high co2 conditions. It is however essential to raise FAE if the fruits are to develope properly. Here is a second flush monster pin.
