Mic test edition
Are there enough mycobros on /sci/ for this to be a useful general? Every so often I see some interesting mycology threads and I figured they would last longer if they were bundled in a single thread. Discuss your projects, post pics of your work space, progress shots, feet, fruit bodies, and microscope images, ask and answer questions, recommend books, and in general be a fungi. Amateurs, professionals, and every level of experience welcome. No experience welcome too; come learn you how to grow some mushrooms.
Possible rules:
-Bump the thread when it's on the last page. This general will work better if it lasts long enough to hit the bump limit.
-Limit discussion of magic mushrooms. Psychedelics are cool, but there are a million guides, books, and forums dedicated to growing magic mushrooms that will be better than the advice of some randos on /sci/ and nobody here cares about your trip report.
Pic related are some oyster mushrooms that came up yesterday. I grew them on pasteurized straw in a burlap sack planted with garlic. A long heatwave killed the garlic so I didn't expect that the mycelium survived either. I harvested 77g from the two clumps that came up so far. I didn't see many primordia left, but I'm hopeful that there's more hiding under straw and burlap. I've got more oysters growing on cardboard that I'm acclimating to my compost pile. I also just started experimenting with ways to use aspergillus niger to leach rocks. The master cultures are ready for transfer so I'll be taking slants and preparing the leach jar at some point today.
