Hello! I have played around and decided to grow Cubes in my own way. I will try to detail this method as best as possible. This is to give people an alternative to growing fungus that maybe they haven't seen before.
Supplies...
What I did was...
I haven't seen any mold or other contams. The mushrooms are potent and thriving. and just keep coming up.
Supplies...
- A small, flat, oil drain pan like this one.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004X145/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00004X145&linkCode=as2&tag=becosworl-20
- A spawn bag inoculated with spores and fully colonized
- Composted manure
- Seed starter Mix and Perlite (50/50)
- Spray Bottle
What I did was...
- Spread about 2 inches of composted manure in the bottom of the pan
- I then wet the manure, but not soaking it
- Break up the mycelium and spread it over the manure
- Cover this with the seed starter mix/Perlite
- I covered the pan with foil for about a week or so to allow the mycellium to establish itself.
- After this, I soaked the medium with ph neutral water and placed it in a sunny room until Pins started showing.
- Then I placed it into a closet with a 23w CFL Light and it has been doing great! I spray the soil regularly to keep the moisture up and occasionally pour a small amount of water into the pan.
