NORBY has a go at MYCOLOGY

[NORBY]

First time at trying this mushroom growing malarkey.​

INGREDIENTS ​

10ml Syringe of Golden teacher Liquid Culture.​

​

1 kg Sterile Rye Grain + 2 kg CVG ​

(100% Organic)

​

 

[NORBY]

Had no signs of life after 15 days so I mixed up the bag a little.

2 days later I noticed the first signs of mycelium.

Each day now the mycelium is spreading more and more.

DAY 18
From inoculation of the Rye Grain Bag

 

[NORBY]

The mycelium is spawning well​

I mixed the bag up again to spread things out some more.​

I've also noticed the Grain Bag has started to generate its own heat now so I've dropped the temperature on the thermostat down a bit.

DAY 20 Since inoculation & no signs of Contamination

 

[NORBY]

Growing great so I decided to shake the bag up a little to break the mycelium apart so it spreads better with the grain

 

[NORBY]

Not going to mix the bag up and let it grow in patches for a while instead

 

[NORBY]

Mycelium growing all over inside the bag

The mycelium has taken over ​

REPEAT​

The mycelium has taken over

It won't be long until I mix this 1kg bag of Mycelium Rye spawn​

With 2kg of Coir/Vermiculite/Gypsum substrate.​

So I will need to modify my Monotub soon and remove the bin liners off the outside & tape up the outside of the box just slightly above were the level of the mixed substrate will be.​

Drill holes along the the same area and cover with micropose tape.​

Drill more holes at the top and cover with tape too, or maybe use filter disc's for the top holes.​

It's not like your average monotub tho, It's one of those tall tub/bins cos I lack space in the Den and also the 2kg bag that will soon be 3kg should fit neatly into the tub for the next stage.​

​

The idea is to mix the 2 bags together in a Sterile environment as Sterile-ly as possible and then seal up the mixed bag and put it in the tub again until the mixed bag turns white with mycelium, kinda like the Rye bag is atm​

Then open up the bag to increase airflow and add a light bulb into the lid.​

Then watch and wait, and adjust the climate if necessary, (mist & fan)​

Hopefully that's it lol​

​

& Hopefully by the end of this adventure I will hear colours & see noises​
