My method differs.

Step 1. Make liquid culture using spore syringe.
Step 2. Inject sterile grain jars.
Step 3. Dump grain jars into compost when colonized.
Step 4. Half fill smart pots with compost. Stack outdoors in shade or sun as needed by temps. Spray infrequently with hose.
Step 5. Dump compost on ground when rains come.
Step 6. Kill fucking mushroom eating Slugs.
Step 7. Harvest mushrooms.

So my second attempt is going very well! I put tin foil over the jars once the mycelium reaches the surface of the casing. I wasn't sure if I should wait until the myc covers the entire surface of the casing?

Also, what is border breaking, and why is it bad? I hear that term a lot.

Ideal temp is high 70s. Border break is when mushrooms form on the sides.it is a light issue.

So my three jars are growing very well! One of the mushrooms has opened up, so I decided to pick it. Since the jar is stuffed with shrooms, I couldn't pick it from the base and just kind of ripped it loose. There is quite a large stub. Should I be worried about it rotting?

Also, in a jar do you expect to pick shrooms continually or should I pick them all at once?

Lastly, I just put the shroom in a paper towel and put it in the refrigerator. How long will it last? Is there an easier and better way to store?

It can rkt, yes, they dont last long in the fridge and you lose calibration as they dry. They tend to retain strength but lose weight so you dont kniw how much to eat.

You shiuld oick them all to make way for the next flush.

cant hurt. Wood lovers seem to produce more co2 but all of them put out plenty.

So no big issues with the light cycles etc? I was thinking of building shelves in the top corners of my tents and putting the jars above the lights. It's not an immediate pressing concern, but it seems like a neat way to up your CO2 without investing too much money and also getting some return for the effort. Nobody does it better than nature, right? A little greener than burning propane too.

So, I'm pretty sure I will be doing this in a month or so, but I have a few questions. Sorry if they're noobish but I am new at this, I have more background knowledge in cannabis growing.

Do they require much light? I was thinking of growing it in a closet, maybe stuck in a drawer for stealth purposes but that would be dark.
Could you reuse the substrate/casing for a separate grow at a later date? Or do you have to buy the popcorn, coir, and vermiculite again?
How do you pick them without disturbing the mycelium so you can get a second or third flush?
Could you cook the vermiculite/coir casing in advance and simply leave it covered in a pan until it's needed?

Much light no...In fact I have had casings left in the foil to long start poppin em....Temp is a big factor(75-80) ....FAE is another thing to be taken into consideration.....You also need a 15psi Pressure Cooker....Yes you can reuse substrates to inoculate more spawn....But your better off making LC's and fresh jars JMO until you get your process down also twist your mushroom's off gently...Hope that help's a little
