Having grown Oysters, and Shiitakes before wondering why these are all growing towards the floor... typical mushrooms I'm aware of still orient towards a light source despite not needing it for food just to ensure their spores are spread properly....
Were they flipped? Does the green floor have something to do with it? Is it fake?
Could it be good ole gravity? Growing too far out from the wall to support their own weight properly?
They just need someone to spit on them and call them dirt.
It seems to be legit.
Yeah, it seems very likely to be their weight.
Are oysters and shiitakes easy? I did Teachers and they were soooooo simple, it was fascinating! It’d be nice to have some just to eat for yum and not expedience.
If you order a spawn block of shiitake or oyster they are pretty easy indoors in my experience. Outdoor shiitake making my first attempt wont likely know until fall of 2027
Outdoors takes that long?! Wild! Teachers were flushin’ in like a month or two. Good luck on your outdoor grow! :3
I used dowel plugs instead of sawdust as first attempt so a bit slower but easier to avoid contamination from what I read. Also depends on the size of the logs, weather conditions, how heavily you inoculate, etc. Have a winter season here where the shiitakes are likely to go dormant. Might see something earlier than that but if I don't see anything by winter 2027 will assume it has likely failed. If it goes well should have a number of years of production though.
Oysters are probably the easiest edibles to grow. Shiitakes on the other hand, I am just cursed even though they shouldn't be hard. If you had success with Teachers, Oysters aren't a problem.
Thank you, I’ll look into that! I’d love more stuff at home that I can make vegan meals with for friends who don’t eat animal products (and I just love eating mushrooms!)
Are teachers that easy? I've only ever done albino tidal waves, and not only do they take like 6 months to grow but they always find a way to fuck something up and I end up with 10 grams per canopy. Life is suffering with ATWs.
Oh yah, all it takes is a plastic tub with a latching lid and a fine mist spritzer! The first time I did super poorly but had pins in a couple weeks, and got a couple flushes (which I harvested way too late.)
Another try and the first flush was WAY more thicc, got about seven flushes over the course of two or three months before I stopped them. Just threw em in a room with no special light or anything, just spritzed twice a day or so. Barely touched them or did anything, just went in to wet em a little and admire them occasionally. They were extremely self-sufficient!
Took ages to dry, but once completely dried out, easily 120+g total from the second batch!
